Ping display

[RobertMKD]

I think you already got what I mean, have you got any idea how to display the ping/latency of the players?

 

[BloodDrunk]

I don't really think that is possible. It is done using server (bots) command.

I think you can, but I assume it's hard.

If you spawn a unit and then use a timer to see how long it took before it spawned, you'll get the delay. Not sure how good that works though.

edit: actually it makes more sense to do something with GetLocalPlayer() in order to get a specific player's MS.

By 'Unit' you mean a 'dummy unit'? Does it really delay when a unit spawns in multiplayer?

 

[Light]

pretty much, it's mainly because of how it works, but it also works as a "security" feature, i think.

 

[RobertMKD]

I think I need something that delays more than spawning a unit, actually, I need more delaying things to add their delaying together and get the ping

the best way is to start a timer, try to sync some data across a gamecache and then measure the time it takes for the sync to happen. If you want to get an individual user's ping, you'll have to be a bit careful (it is easy to trigger disconnects when syncing data). here is some good info:

- A moderate level of understanding of JASS - specifically, knowledge of gamecaches and the definition of "asynchronous" as applied to WC3 and JASS
- A basic level of understanding of the way data is transferred across the internet, specifically basic knowledge of packets and latency

I do not understand any of these, please explain it to me! :/
