[Trigger] Setting a sky for one player

[Super Mario]

Setting a sky / skybox for one player

Hello everyone, i have one question!

how do i set a sky / skybox for one player with 'GetLocalPlayer' and without desync?

I've created a simple hero selection system with arrow keys for my map. If you press a key, the next hero will be shown as a preview with an unique sky.

The trigger i am currently using cause desync for sure.

Trigger

• Set PlayerNumber = ((Player number of (Triggering player)) - 1)
• Custom script: if(GetLocalPlayer() == Player(udg_PlayerNumber)) then
• Environment - Set sky to 'some sky'
• Custom script: endif

someone told me this can be done with a text string? But i don't understand how and i didn't find a solution on the forums. Please help me =)

Nope. The JASS function for that is

native SetSkyModel takes string path returns nothing

The GUI counterpart for this does that except it gives u a list of presets. If u want to use an exact string,

Custom script: call SetSkyModel( "If This Path Is Invalid, The Game Will Desync" )

Alright, so i use:

• Custom script: call SetSkyModel( "environment\Sky\FelwoodSky\FelwoodSky.blp" )

for a felwod sky?

nope..


Environment\\Sky\\FelwoodSky\\FelwoodSky.mdl

first of all, it always must be double slashed.

Also, capitalized letters count.

Also, the sky is not a texture it is a model. if u attempt to set it to a .blp, the game will crash regardless if its in a local block or not

Oh right... i just copyed a path from MPQ editor, never mind.
it seems to work for one player, will try it on multiplayer!
