[JASS] Host Presses Esc

[Nightmare-]

How could you use a custom script trigger of when the host presses esc using the GetHost function in JASS.

library GetHost initializer init

globals
    player Host
endglobals

private function init takes nothing returns nothing
    set Host = GetLocalPlayer()
endfunction

endlibrary

dunno if this will get the host, but i think so

Is there anyway i could get that in a single line for a GUI trigger in custom script, but for an event, would that work at all? or would that not work, and i should just make the whole trigger in JASS?

Edit:

Never mind can't have custom scripe in event do this instead

library GetHost initializer init

function init takes nothing returns nothing
    set udg_Host = GetLocalPlayer()
endfunction

endlibrary

put this in the map header. create a global player variable named host

This will get the first player that the scripts run for (which I assume is Player 0), not the host.
There was a script to find the host which is based upon response-speed from the players, so it's almost always correct (unless the host has a computer from the sixties or so...) but I can't find it right now.

function GetHost takes nothing returns nothing
    local gamecache g = InitGameCache("Map.w3v")
    call StoreInteger ( g, "Map", "Host", GetPlayerId(GetLocalPlayer ())+1)
    call TriggerSyncStart ()
    call SyncStoredInteger ( g, "Map", "Host" )
    call TriggerSyncReady ()
    set udg_Host = Player( GetStoredInteger ( g, "Map", "Host" )-1)
    call FlushGameCache( g )
    set g = null
endfunction

Just have a global player variable called Host (or udg_Host if you use globals/endglobals), then run this.
Just run it before you register your event.
