Does using this cause desync?

[Rugarus]

im using the Warcraft map optimizer program that basically erases all wc3 object data. I'm wondering does this ever cause desyncs?

Also another question.

Let's say you had a function that had something to do with local player, but in the same function you also declare a spec for another player not the local player.

Even if you didn't call the function, can the game still desync? Let me know if you want me to word that better^

Thanks.

Yes, but not in the way you're thinking.

If someone plays an optimized map, then goes to play another map, it can cause a desync when playing the other map. This is because wc3 doesn't clear all data between maps and this occasionally causes issues.

Ah okay and what about the other question?

What's exactly a spec? An effect? In that case, creating or destroying objects within a local player block is discouraged, because it desync the game.

Try to assign an effect path to a string variable, and modify that string for a specific player. Out of the if block, you create the effect using the string var.

Edit: Oh well, I said "out of the loop".

I read somewhere that if you have a function lets say sending a message to a local player, and if you also have a message in the same function sending a message to a specific player not local player it can cause a desync. Did I read that wrong or nah?

No, it won't cause a desync. However, doing so is pointless, because the code within a localplayer block only runs for the "getlocalplayer()" client, which means the other player won't see/receive the message at all.

I recall this only applies to Widgetizer, but not Vexorian Map Optimizer.
