[JASS] Does this cause a Desync?

[Sephalo]

Heya,

I'm trying to find the cause of my desync. I know it has to do with GetLocalPlayer(), but I can't find my mistake...
I'm not sure, but is this the thing that might be wrong here?:

loop
exitwhen i > 8

    if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(i) then
                set Text[i] = CreateTextTag()
    endif
set i = i + 1
endloop

As far as I know locally creating Texttags does not desync. I am creating them locally and never happened to me.

Hmm oke, then it must be something else.

library lolz initializer init
  
    globals
        texttag array Text
    endglobals

    function test takes nothing returns nothing
        local integer i = 0
        loop
            exitwhen i > 8
            if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(i) then
                set Text[i] = CreateTextTag()
            endif
            set i = i + 1
            call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        endloop
        call BJDebugMsg("end")
    endfunction

    function init takes nothing returns nothing
        call TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 1.00, false, function test)
    endfunction

endlibrary

I tested this code with a friend and nobody desynced so the error might be elsewhere.

Yes that does desync. (i know it for a fact). what you have to do is create the text tag globally than set the text of the text tag locally

It's probably something that has to do with you comparing Text[something] and creating handles within the if block.

Texttags have their own handle stack. For whatever reason, this ensures that they can be created locally without any desyncs. (or at least, that is the trait of the objects that are local-creation safe) Same thing for a few other handle types.

You can test it on LAN or bnet or w/e, it works.

It's probably something that has to do with you comparing Text[something] and creating handles within the if block.

^This may be the case, because while that code doesn't desync by itself, the data is localized. So if you, for example, check if Text[x] == null and some of them are null while others aren't, then it will perform the code locally.

I recommend that you post the war3map.j, we might be able to find the problem. Or PM it.

I found the cause of the desync.
It luckily wasn't this issue with the texttags.
It was something where I locally tried to shake the camera.
