Local game disconnects everybody

[ZiGOR]

Hi my dear old friends

I started a new project, made a lot of efforts and faced an unexpected problem.

My map is full of cinematics in the begining... When the game starts all players accept for me have their connection lost.

I have 3 questions:
1. What is it?
2. Why is it so?
3. How to fix it?



Good news! I found the core of the evil - cinematics triggers...

Well... if there is a difference between two players, the players cant properly continue playing so the game desyncs the players with a different playing state than the host.

This could be when you create units only for one client, or stuff like that.
Almost every case is created when using GetLocalPlayer() which returns the player of the client (so for Player red, it will return Player red, and for Player blue, it returns Player blue). With this, you can make stuff like text messages only appear to the person who wrote text commands and stuff like that.

But if you do things that are not allowed to be used in a so called "local block", then you get desyncs.
So the best thing to do is find out where you use those local blocks and upload them.
Assuming you haven't fixed the problem after your good news.

Actually, I can't see anything illegal in my code...
If I show you my cinematic triggers, will you be so kind and help me out?))) I can send you my map if it's necessary.

I have no use for maps, but you can upload the trigger and post it here in the thread.
Then me or other people can take a look at it.

As a rough guess, you are probably using that one camera pan action which causes the game to desync due to creating handles in a locally run code block.

Take a look at my triggers please. I've gotta tell you right now that I'm a new in cinematography, so everything I was doing is just my pathetic attempts to do something

For now I've just made some actions for Player Blue (playing as the Destroyer) and Player Teal (playing as the Huntress)
Here are triggers that together make something like this: Huntress.mp4

The function SmartCameraPanBJ will cause an instant desync. However I do not see you using it anyway.

Make sure all clients you are playing with have freshly started WC3 and are running the latest version of WC3.

I found my bug. It appears when I tunr on Cinematic Mode to Player Blue and Player Teal at the same time. When I use "All players" it works without disconnects
