Not 100% failure restistant.
Considering the amount of code this is rather a snippet for the JASS section than a resource for the spell section.

Rejected

it works not 100%

Tell me what the problem is and i'll try to fix it , (send a pic if possible)

I have to say this submission I find rather hilarious, considering two resources down is another host system which contains This post which just so happens to be the system code for this submission, sure some of the lines are swapped/altered slightly, but it is amazingly similar, and also explains the failure rate of this

Failure rate statement: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/2550084-post4.html

I found this in wc3c long ago as well I think.

@Creator, please, indicate that you did not come up with the func.
@TC, the failure rate might (?) be solved by repeatedly calling the func(around 5 times), if I remember what I saw in the wc3c thread correctly.

Yeah, you can certainly reduce the failurerate by doing it multiple times (provided you compile the results to find a most consistent result), though there will always be a small one and as the other thread already raised - it doesn't function so well with bot-hosted games, which WC3 is almost exclusively now.

Edit: really though this is more of a code snippet than a full resource, and as said, not even something you yourself created - if you want to keep it in the resource section, you /must/ credit the original sources

Vote for removal.

Such script exists for years now, plus it does not belong to Spells section. Jass resources or Small code snippets is the best place for such snippets.

GG for ctrl+c + ctrl+v.
Btw, 2 submissions related to host detection within the same day. Unfortunatelly both fail. "Author" of this thread probably doesnt know when "his" code does work and when it actually doesnt.

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

call FlushGameCache(InitGameCache("gamehost.w3v"))
set udg_gamehost = InitGameCache("gamehost.w3v")
call StoreInteger ( udg_gamehost, "host", "host", GetPlayerId ( GetLocalPlayer () ) )
call TriggerSyncStart ()
call SyncStoredInteger ( udg_gamehost, "host", "host" )
call TriggerSyncReady ()
set udg_Host = GetStoredInteger ( udg_gamehost, "host", "host" )
call FlushStoredMission(udg_gamehost,"host")

Yes this is definitely stolen from wc3c

Sarcasm?

Stolen? Why is the thread deleted?
