That snippet ragingspeedhorn posted will fail.
He has to do it like this:

function GetHost takes nothing returns nothing
    local gamecache g = InitGameCache("Map.w3v")
    call StoreInteger(g, "Map", "Host", GetPlayerId(GetLocalPlayer()))
    call TriggerSyncStart()
    call SyncStoredInteger(g, "Map", "Host")
    call TriggerSyncReady()
    set udg_Host = Player(GetStoredInteger(g, "Map", "Host"))
    call FlushGameCache(g)
    set g = null
endfunction

function InitTrig_HostGet takes nothing returns nothing
    call FlushGameCache(InitGameCache("Map.w3v"))
endfunction

Else, the gamecache will be null.

It can't be 100 % accurate.

Really, the best way is to reserve a player slot as "host" for your map.
And eventually when the player which was identified as the host leaves the game, then use it.

Not to mention host bots

I know, it even says it's not 100% accurate

Still, it's good enough.

It was not for you Mag.

Btw i've never used gamecache but your snippet seems to use 2 different strings, that wouldn't work, right ?

 

[Magtheridon96]

2 strings for what? The indices when storing? Or are you talking about Lol.w3v and Map.w3v?

 

[Troll-Brain]

Or are you talking about Lol.w3v and Map.w3v?

This.

PS : I don't know who have moved this thread, but it was fine in the trigger section ...

 

[illmaster]

thanks then i will try that

 

[Magtheridon96]

Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to make both of them Map.w3v
