[JASS] Multiboard problem

[jim7777]

Ok OK OK...

I'm having problems with multiboard.
When I Used to Multiboards (1 shown for Force 1 and 1 shown for Force 2), only the multiboard for Force 2 is shown. It is only my problem. When a new multiboard is displayed (or call MultiboardDisplay(multiboard, boolean)) only the last multiboard that is shown will be displayed. I tried also using the Board library but same problem. Using the GetLocalPlayer() blah blah to get the players.

Each time you create a multiboard, the one that existed before it gets destroyed.

You need to A) create the multiboard locally for each player

B) create one multiboard and updated it locally for each player.

how could I create or update it for each player O,o

 

[TriggerHappy]

Like this;

• Set Player = Player 1 (red)
• Custom script: if (GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Player) then
• Multiboard - Set title of .... to "TEXT FOR PLAYER 1"
• Multiboard - Set Icon of blah..
• Custom script: endif

Repeat for other players.
This lets you run the actions within the if-block for one player.

does it will cause desyncs? I read in some threads that declaring some multiboard stuff (other than multiboard show) may cause desyncs.. is that true?? i'm not so sure though... but i'll try that.

 

[Bribe]

Desyncs are typically caused by handle creation/destruction, so as long as you create the multiboards at the exact same time for each player, that shouldn't desync.

 

[jim7777]

how you say EXACT SAME TIME ??

does it mean all at once like Indexes ?? or like calling another function to perform the multiboard for a player??

 

[Bribe]

No, just do it once on map init like:

if GetLocalPlayer() == GetLocalPlayer() then
    // create multiboard
endif

That way it happens at the exact same time for each player.

 

[jim7777]

thanks

just wondering why you say map init

 

[Bribe]

InitTrig_TriggerName

That is called at map init.

 

[jim7777]

ok.. i thought the Map Initialization event

 

[Bribe]

Oh, snap, you know what? You can't create boards at map init. I forgot about that. I think it needs a few moments wait period. That's what I get for doing the 3AM routine...

 

[jim7777]

i tried using waits it works fine but in one straight-up function... it gives a mega super duper warcraft 3 error

 

[Bribe]

post script so I know what error you get?

Moin moin =)

Ok sorry that I get into this but I understand it right, that you have problems to show different multiboards for different player?

What's complicated? You have 2 forces, so you create 2 different multiboard variable. Now you create both multiboards and save Multiboard 1 into varibale 1 and multiboard 2 into variable 2.

Now at the end of the creation you add the following:

    if  GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
        call MultiboardDisplay(X, true)
    endif

Now you repeat this for every player. ( Player(0) = Player red - X is the multiboard-variable you want to show ). And the problem with the event just use "Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds"

hmm... Is it no problem if I show the multiboards all at once (not the create multiboard function) ??

never tried to do so like that.. creating multiboards first then after some time show them all .. i'll try later.. i'm not on my PC right now

You need to A) create the multiboard locally for each player

Desyncs are typically caused by handle creation/destruction

You don't want to be creating a multi-board in local code; that will most definitely cause a desync. In regards to the amount of time you must wait before a multiboard is created, it only has to be after the map initialization thread, meaning a 0-second expiring timer will do the trick (not positive about elapsed game time events).

scope MultiboardTrial initializer init

globals
    multiboard array PlayerBoard
endglobals

public function initDelayed takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
    loop
        exitwhen i == 12
        set PlayerBoard[i] = CreateMultiboard()
        call MultiboardDisplay(PlayerBoard[i], GetLocalPlayer()==Player(i))
        // There shouldn't be any problem creating many multiboards. I have done
        // this before (mentioned by Bribe near thread start).
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
endfunction

public function init takes nothing returns nothing
    call TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 0, false, function initDelayed)
endfunction

endscope

I already did it and working fine (using 2 multiboards, 1 for each force) but thanks berb ... you help me again... gonna use that for my AoS project
