[General] Changing Terrain Fog for Local Players

[Abyssion]

Hello Hive,
I have made a trigger in my 3v3 map that changes the terrain fog for the player depending on what part of the map the camera is focusing on. The trigger works as intended but the problem is that it sets the terrain fog for all players and I want it to use the local player, is this possible? Here is my trigger to show exactly how I'm doing it, again the trigger is working as intended (technically).

Pretty sure it does.

Visual only changes tend to work fine.

Hi Chaosy,
thanks for replying to my thread!
Any idea how I could accomplish this if it does work?

Run the fog change action in a locally executed block using GetLocalPlayer() == udg_SpecificPlayer as a condition.

Run the fog change action in a locally executed block using GetLocalPlayer() == udg_SpecificPlayer as a condition.

But I need to track the current camera view coordinates of the local player don't I? I'm not sure how to do it. I have the local player udg but
I don't know how to apply it to current camera view coordinates of the local player.

One has to to do that globally. Setup the location before the local block and then use it in the local block. 1 location for each player is needed, so using an array which maps player to location would work. Remember to remove the location before overwriting it.

I think I got it, it works for me as player 1 so I think it will work for all players.

I am not sure if running triggers locally is safe. It does alter the execution count after all.
