Host Detection

[ALiEN95]

i have an auto-kick function and i would not like to kick host with that

so..is it possible to detect host? it should be....

There are many ways of doing this using Game Caches I believe, and there are likely some JASS resources on this site that will do it.

Jesus man, read the tutorial.

The player (Host) is automatically detected at map initialization, and then you can use that player for various purposes.

You can also have the function called again if the host leaves, since if the game is still going, there must be a player who can host, and that player will be detected.

In the variable editor. Just press the yellow (or green?) x in the trigger editor.

in the picture it says

Variable Type: Player (Player)

how did he do that (the orange part) ?

BTW:
i open my trigger editor

click on icon that has NameOfMyMap.w3x

i paste jass code down

Custom Script Code:
-JASS CODE

than i create this trigger

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: Custom script: call GetHost()

i can enable/disable trigger but when i start the map test it fails

does it maybe fails because i don't know how to do Variable Type: Player (Player)?

and i did do this variable

Variable Name: "Host"
Variable Type: Player

Can you attach it?

Can you attach it?

sorry..what do you mean?
BTW: could you make a map with that host detection and post it here?

Here's the map. I really don't see why you're having problems with this...

1) Does not work for lan. When playing lan it'll pick the fastest computer.
2) And sometimes (very rare) it'll pick somebody else even when it's not the host.

Just tellin.

The comments in that tutorial deem otherwise. xD
And when I used it in lan, my brother sometimes gets to be the host. That sneaky....

i miss copied the code....
i see that the function is not working every time so that is bad...
