[Solved] How make the F9 log update

[sethmachine]

Hi,

When playing in the war 3 campaign, when you get a new quest, the F9 log gets highlighted/glows yellow and makes a sound, prompting you to check it.

What are the natives to emulate this?

And what are the sound files used for these quest update/complete sounds?

The light:

• Quest - Flash the quest dialog button

The sound are in:

Sound editor -> Intern -> Sounds -> Interface

QuestLog.wav (i think)

I found the sounds.

Thanks for the GUI, I used it to find this native that does it: FlashQuestDialogButtonBJ() .

I am assuming doing this flash button will show it to everyone? So I have to use GetLocalPlayer to filter out the player I want to show it to?

I never try it before, the campaigns are designed to just 1 player, so i don't know if it is possible

Yes it works. If run under local player, the F9 log will only flash for that player, and there's no desync.

Just to clear things up, that is not a native since it calls the real native, FlashQuestDialogButton()

Then I should be calling the native? When would you ever want to call the BJ...

Yes.

Never.

Yes.

Never.

I guess my question is, why does this BJ exist then...?
