[JASS] Is it possible to only show destructables to one player?

[Geshishouhu]

Hi guys, is it possible to only show destructables to one player? I guess it is possible? But even it is possible, I am still confused about the GetLocalPlayer() function.

function con takes nothing returns boolean
    if GetTriggerPlayer() == GetLocalPlayer() then   //This comparison must be wrong...
        ....     //Showing destructables
    endif
    return false    
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_test takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    local integer i = 0
    loop
        exitwhen i > 7 // There are only 8 players in my map.
        call TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(t, Player(i), EVENT_PLAYER_END_CINEMATIC) 
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    call TriggerAddAction(t, function con)
endfunction

So, how to correctly use the GetLocalPlayer() function? Many thanks.

It is possible.

if GetTriggerPlayer() == GetLocalPlayer() then
    call ShowDestructable(d, true)
endif

But if a player interacts with the destructable (e.g. attacks it, harvests it, w/e) then it will disconnect players. So just be careful. Here is a thorough list of what is and isn't problematic when it comes to hiding destructables (courtesy of Zwiebelchen):

However, there are some rules you need to consider, in order to make your map work without desyncs in multiplayer:
- never hide destructables units or players can interact with (attackable, selectable or destructable)
- hiding destructables that block pathing is safe, as hiding the destructable will not change its pathing
- hiding destructables that need to be enumed is safe; hidden destructables can be enumerated
- hiding walkable platforms is also safe, as long as you dont get a location Z for a location placed on that destructable globally; this is not 100% safe anyway, as
the returned value of GetLocationZ() is dependant on the render state of the destructable

Thanks a lot, PnF. +Rep
