[JASS] File Writing Problem

[DarkMatterShark]

So I have a save code that writes save codes to a text file with preload functions, but the file writes to all players. How can I write it to only the player that typed -save?

Use a Local Player clause. E.g.

if GetLocalPlayer() == writer then
    ...
endif

I tried this but it didn't work
Edit: Actually it might work let me test it again
No It Doesn't work it dcs all players when you try to save

Yeah, you can't locally DO something without a desync. That changes the game state for some players. What you CAN do is locally change the text of the save file for some players.

• If - All Conditions...
  • GetLocalPlayer equal to (Triggering Playrr)
• Then - Actions
  • Set filestring = "your long thing inside the WriteFile"
• Else - Actions
  • Set filestring = "" //an empty string so writefile does nothing
• Custom script call WriteFile(udg_filestring) //write it outside the localplayer if block so no desync

Use GetLocalPlayers function

I'll give you an example:

JASS Version:

function createTextFile takes player PL returns nothing
    local string FolderName = "Site"
    local string FileName = "Sample"
    local string FileType = ".txt"
  
    if GetLocalPlayer() == PL then
        // Initialize Preload Functions
        call PreloadGenClear()
        call PreloadGenStart()
      
        // Write
        call Preload( "\n\nwww.hiveworkshop.com\n\n" )
      
        // Close It
        call PreloadGenEnd( FolderName + "\\" + FileName + "\\" + FileType )
    endif
endfunction

GUI Version:

• createTextFile
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- ----------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Initialize Filename and Directory --------
    • Set FolderName = Site
    • Set FileName = Sample
    • -------- ----------------------------------- --------
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggeringTrigger() then
    • -------- ----------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Initialize Preload Functions --------
    • Custom script: call PreloadGenClear()
    • Custom script: call PreloadGenStart()
    • -------- ----------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Write --------
    • Custom script: call Preload( "\n\nwww.hiveworkshop.com\n\n" )
    • -------- ----------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Close It --------
    • Custom script: call PreloadGenEnd( udg_FolderName + "\\" + udg_FileName + ".txt" )
    • Custom script: endif
