Local Player

[GIMLI_2]

hi everyone,
i want to make a quest system where every player has to accept its own quests. so i need an attached special effect (a classic exclamation mark) above the unit that gives you the quest. now, if a player accepts the quest, the exclamation mark should just disappear for him. the other players, that have to accept the quest by their own, should still see it. what would be the best way to do that?
thanks

Using GetLocalPlayer() function. Look here http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/getlocalplayer-225738/ it even explains how to do exactly what you want and the risks.

Isn't this just like show special effect only to self? others can see it

well i already knew that, this can create an effect that is visible for one player only. but i need an effect that is visible for all players and as soon as someone accepts the quest, it should be hidden for the certain player

You do the same. Show the effect to everyone. Then when someone takes the quest, remove the effect and create a new one, using the GetLocalPlayer trick.

Just do it the other way around. Set the string to the path outside the If, and if the GetLocalPlayer condition is true, set string to "".

 

[Arhowk]

boolean b = true
if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
set b = false
endif
call SetUnitVisible(expPoint,b)

or what above said (units are better, more stable)

string s = pathToExpPoint
if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() or questAccepted[GetPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())] then
set s = ""
endif
call AttachEffect(s, ...)

You could also do that with floating texts, they are hideable for specific players.
