Question about SyncStored...X

[Bribe]

When you use SyncStoredInteger/Real/Boolean/etc. what exactly is there to be synced?

For example I want to give an integer to each player id, locally, and then sync it.

    call StoreInteger(gc, "-", I2S(i), IntegerTertiaryOp(GetLocalPlayer() == Player(i), 1, 0))
    call SyncStoredInteger(gc, "-", I2S(i))
...
call TriggerSyncReady()

Anyone know which value will be synced? Will it be the 1 or the 0? Would it be better if I just only stored an integer for the local player and stored nothing for the others?

StoreInteger() is the function mainly for single player compaign, and :
- if you use them wrong, you will never get replay anywhere (eg, save replay button is disable, auto saved never work)
- it can cause decyns because replay's data on everyone should be same, else it decyns.

The post below can help you understand how SyncStoredInteger work (eg, understand normal condition, if everyone sync their own value, then only host's value is stored )

The synced integer will be the integer contained in gc for the human player who answers the syncing fastest. (usually the host, but it can depend on speed/lag)

Purge, thank you, then I will not use SyncStoredInteger. I currently am using SyncSelections and I think it will do the job for the next update of GameStatus.

if GetLocalPlayer( ) == SomePlayer then
    call StoreInteger( sync , SomeId , MoreId , input )
endif
call TriggerSyncStart( )
if GetLocalPlayer( ) == SomePlayer then
    call SyncStoredInteger( sync , SomeId , MoreId )
endif
call TriggerSyncReady( )
//... Get the value, it should be same as others

With this way that value will be synced what the GetLocalPlayer has
