How works GetLocalPlayer?

[HerlySQR]

I wanna know how works the function GetLocalPlayer, because I heard that function takes the player that runs the trigger, but I proof it but always takes me incluiding if I use bots, so if you wanna explain me how really works a gonna thank you because maybe that thing happened because it takes only real players.

That's right. It returns you, the player running the game in your PC.

so, How is it when there are multiple players?

 

[AGD]

It returns Player(0) for player 1, Player(1) for player 2, and so on.

It returns Player(0) for player 1, Player(1) for player 2, and so on.

But, How works? What do you have to do to get these players?

 

[AGD]

If you are player 1, then it returns Player(0). If you're player 12, it returns Player(11). In other words, it returns different values for different players.

What do you have to do to get these players?

you just call the function

Pro tip, if you're not at the stage where you understand how it would work or what to do with the data it gives you... you shouldn't be using GetLocalPlayer().

Are you using GUI or jass? You can do it in jass using call StartSoundForPlayerBJ(PlayerVariable, SoundVariable) or write it in custom script in GUI.
