[Trigger] Local Player and Ability Modify

[xorkatoss]

Hello everybody, I was testing locally changing Ability Descriptions and Icons and it seems to work BUT I want to be 100% it doesn't desync before I start mass implementing it into my map.

Spoiler: GUI

• Chat
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing <Empty String> as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Entered chat string) Equal to -1
      • Then - Actions
        • Ability - Set Tooltip of Ability Test 1 to Weapon +2 for level 0
        • Ability - Set Extended Tooltip of Ability Test 1 to Testing New Description|n|nNew Trigger for level 0
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Entered chat string) Equal to -2
          • Then - Actions
            • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
            • Ability - Set Tooltip of Ability Test 1 to Weapon +3 Local for level 0
            • Ability - Set Extended Tooltip of Ability Test 1 to Testing New Description|n|nNew Trigger Local Player for level 0
            • Custom script: endif
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Entered chat string) Equal to -3
              • Then - Actions
                • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
                • Ability - Set Icon of Ability Test 2 to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNMoonArmor.blp
                • Ability - Set Tooltip of Ability Test 2 to Armor +5 for level 0
                • Ability - Set Extended Tooltip of Ability Test 2 to Your Hero now has an amazing armor! for level 0
                • Custom script: endif
              • Else - Actions

I also tested this on LAN and it didn't cause any desyncs but again I want to be 100% sure because I was super surprised that these triggers seem to be asynchronous.



I attached the test map if anybody wants to give it a go.

[JASS] - Changing ability tooltips for local player

Hi, currently, in the hero selection part of my map, I have a copy of each hero as a neutral building. These buildings have dummy abilities that are just used to show the actual abilities of the respective hero, so they inherit the ability tooltip, name, and icon of the hero ability. This...

If that doesn't answer your question, I believe @Tasyen would know (thanks!)

They need to be async as the game supports many languages, all of them most likely have an unique tooltip. And the tooltips do not matter for the gamestate anyway, they are for the player not for the game.
It is said that: there can be a desync because of a dismatching stringlist, I don't believe it. But if you want to be 100% safe create the strings in sync space and then in GetLocalPlayer use the value you created outside of GetLocalPlayer. (Edit: oh the Linked posts say something similiar)

• At 0s
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set NewTooltip = Whatever
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Local Player Equal to (Triggering player)
      • Then - Actions
        • Ability - Set Tooltip of Holy Light to NewTooltip for level 0
      • Else - Actions

@Uncle yes I've seen that thread before when I was searching for an answer, but the final comment with the jass code was confusing so I wasn't sure about that

@Tasyen All right then, I will start implementing it and keep an eye for desyncs on that system thanks!
