Lock Selection for specific Players

[CroMoX]

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a hero selection system, and I want to lock selection onto one unit which is the store you buy your heroes from, however I'm using the line

• Game - Disable selection and deselection functionality (Enable selection circles)
• Unit - Create 1 Hero Selection for (Picked player) at temploc facing Default building facing degrees
• Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Picked player)

and to my knowledge this disables everyones ability to select units, and I do not want that since another person may want to load a character, which will completely over look the character creation step.

So how do I disable selection for one particular player?

Thanks in advance.

Whole Trigger

• Hero Selection Creator
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for CSDialog
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to CSDialogButton[1]
      • Then - Actions
        • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • ((Picked player) controller) Equal to User
                • ((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing
              • Then - Actions
                • Sound - Play InGameChatWhat1 <gen>
                • Set temploc = (Center of Region 036 <gen>)

try using GetLocalPlayer technique, I think you can achieve this by using that block.

Since I cannot test it for multiplayer currently since my friend is offline, does that trigger look like it would work for multiplayer? since I just tested it and worked fine singleplayer

This should work as intended, I don't see flaws.
JNGP 2.0 allows your to use multiple instances of warcraft for easier multiplayer testings. Try it out, it's awesome and I use it to test triggers that involve GetLocalPlayer.

Thanks a heap BloodDrunk, I remember having a peak at JNGP 2.0 awhile ago, might give it a test now, since the need for it has come up.
