GetLocalPlayer() Desyncs.

[ikillforeyou]

Just wondering..

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_002_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local string s = "units\\human\\Rifleman\\Rifleman.mdl"

    if GetLocalPlayer() != Player(1) then
        set s = ""
    endif
    call AddSpecialEffect(s, -11133.8, -12299.7)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_002 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_002 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_002, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_002_Actions )
endfunction

Why does this desync? There is technically no hanles inside of the "If" so it should not desync, but it does, any ideas?

PS: This is a test trigger, dont bother inlining it.

Coordinates outside of the map?
Dunno if this could desync, but with this way I've created many effects without desyncing.

That shouldn't desync. The only problem that could happen is that the coordinates are outside of the map

Oh, wait.

This desyncs, right? -.- i think thats my problem

 

[Justify]

Yes. Create it, hide it, show it localy.

 

[Viikuna]

Creating stuff for one player only desyncs. You should create that multiboard for everyone, and then hide/show it locally.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Ye, whenever you're creating a handle for a few selected players (note: this does not only happen when you create it for one player) it will desync.

Slightly related: Can you do something like "Special effect - Pick every special effect of model "Testing123.mdl" within 400 of location of triggering unit And do (Destroy(Picked special effect))? I know thats not a function, but is there a suitable alternitive?

 

[Justify]

No. You have to store the effect while creating it, afterwards it's impossible! to get it.

Technically, if you map the multiboards to arrays, you should be able to edit them locally as the handles would be constant and just the updating of then local. This however will up memory usage of the map and only can be done in JASS.

For GUI, local display is the only way.

I think floating text are the only ones you can create out of sync as they are graphical (no syncing) and use a special handle range which does not conflict with normal handles.
