My Small Lab

[EmoBrother]

Hello guys, this is the place where I put my tests. They are not 100% work as you hear so I need testers. Everyone is free to suggest a new test.
New thing here, I'm figuring out how it's work.

Letter Key Detector (figuring out, how this works)

/*_____Values of the Arrow-keys_____*/
/*EventType*/
//Depress : 0
//Release : 1

/*Keys*/
//Left  : 0
//Right : 1
//Down  : 2
//Up    : 3

// These are the values of arrow-keys. I'm figuring out how
// to detect letter key as easy as detecting arrow-keys.

// Require (so hard. . .) : a custom event, give values to the letter keys.

GetLocalPlayer() is an asynchronous function that returns each individual player for each individual player. It's like looking in a mirror. It does not retrieve the host.

 

[EmoBrother]

But I heard that the host will be the one who loads the map first so I try GetHost instead of GetLocalPlayer. . . is it failed ?

 

[chobibo]

That function runs on all machines connected to the host, as well as the host.

 

[BPower]

A native GetHost() does not exist in the common.j (Maybe TriggerHappy will integrate it into his Multiplayer Mod)

is created a game --> has created a game :/

In case you have JNPG 2.0 you can run multiplayer emulations on your pc to test such scripts.

 

[Chaosy]

I doubt that script will work. I belive it will write a player has joined the game 12 times.

 

[Nestharus]

Yea, it'll display the local player's name 12x. So when a player joins a game, they will see their name displayed 12 times. The others will see their own names too. I'd see nestharus 12x. You'd see Ax_Xian 12x.

 

[EmoBrother]

@ BPower, I haven't get the latest version of JNGP, it's Multiplayer Emulation does not work for me :/ (Now, downlaod it )
@ Chaosy & Nestharus, never mind, I will try harder on learning JASS & vJASS

EDIT : Thanks for correcting me, everyone

Hm, but if that is correct then it could be abused to get the current host...

library Hosts
	globals
		private player host = null
	endglobals

	private keyword INITS

	function GetHost takes nothing returns player
		return host
	endfunction

	private struct Host extends array
		implement INITS
	endstruct

	private module INITS
		private static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing
			if host == null then
				set host = GetLocalPlayer()
			endif
		endmethod
	endmodule
endlibrary

?

The classical way was about preloading iirc. Basically you locally store the number of each player and then synchronize the values. In this case the host is considered the most important, so the only number that will prevail is the one of the host.

 

[EmoBrother]

@ Xonok, I think you mean this :
GetHost()

If the above works it should be much faster than the gamecache approach. You should give it a try Ah_Xian, maybe your idea wasn't so bad

@ looking_for_help, GetHost Test was failed T_T
Updated first post.

        return host

    private function f takes nothing returns nothing
        call DestroyTimer(GetExpiredTimer())
        if GetLocalPlayer() == host then
            call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, 10, "Host")
        endif
    endfunction
    
    private struct Host extends array
        implement INITS
    endstruct

    private module INITS
        private static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing
            if host == null then
                set host = GetLocalPlayer()
            endif
            call TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 0.5, false, function f)
        endmethod
    endmodule
endlibrary

will print host to both emulated players, so no it wont work, but it was quite impressive plan

 

[Malhorne]

Yes that was a good try ^^
Anyway you can use custom events with sharpcraft ?

 

[EmoBrother]

@ looking_for_help & edo494, wow, Jass-players here. Someone should help to test it.
@ Malhorne, if possible, I'm trying my best to prevent using Sharpcraft -.-

 

[Malhorne]

Ah ok why ?
I don't use at the moment because I was bored to install and all the stuff but I like the idea and I'm waiting for this to be implemented into JNGP ^^'

 

[edo494]

there actually is a version of JNGP with SharpCraft integrated already, TriggerHappy pos it somewhere here on a forum, cant remember where exactly

 

[Malhorne]

HOLY !!
NEED IT !!
Thanks for the news.

Too bad, but thanks for testing

 

[EmoBrother]

@ Malhorne, no why, I use Sharpcraft only when there is no other way
@ looking_for_help, it's a good try.

Reading the variable is async, too. Yes, one player may be the first in setting the variable (although the other players could be in the if-selection as well meanwhile, since those are parallel processes) but the variable is only set for this specific player by then, for the others it's still null.
