Hypothetical: play sounds, set quests for different players

[darwin]

I'm brainstorming for a new map and had a few hypothetical questions. You don't need to post triggers or anything (if I need them I can always come back).

The map would be a multiplayer Battle.Net map.

1. Would it be possible to play a custom sound files for 1 player but not others?

2. Is it possible to set up quests, so some players will see some quests, and other players will see other quests?

1. Yes. There is a function called StartSoundForPlayerBJ() which you can use to play sound for a specific player. Are you using triggers? You can use a custom script: StartSoundForPlayerBJ( Player(0) , "MySound.mp3" ) to play for Red player.

2. Quests are a bit more tricky. You can use GetLocalPlayer() to make things differ between the various players and apparently it works with strings, so theoretically, you'd need to create a set of Quest and Quest Requirement type objects and then use GetLocalPlayer() to set quest titles and descriptions.

For quests, it's better to just create an array of quests for each quest; one quest instance for every player and then the only thing you do locally is showing/hiding the quest instance that belongs to the specific player locally.

Beautiful, it looks like these are no trouble at all.

Thanks, + rep all around.
