Show Effect to 1 Person

How do I show a special effect to only one person?

Um? I'm talking about GetLocalPlayer() or something of that sort.

 

[MortAr]

if GetLocalPlayer = <Player> then
call AddSpecialEffectLoc("effectPath", location)
endif

Desyncs

And i'm trying to attach it to Overhead of a unit, not loc

is that a problem?

 

[MortAr]

Just use AddSpecialEffectTarget("effectPath", <target>, overhead)

it works,but the custom script was a bit wrong

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if (GetLocalPlayer()) == Player(0) then
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of (Playable map area)) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\RaiseSkeletonWarrior\RaiseSkeleton.mdl
    • Custom script: endif

player 0 = player 1
player 1 = player 2
player 3 = player 4
......

That still desyncs. What you will have to do is to make the string different for the local player, not the create effect itself

 

[PurgeandFire]

if GetLocalPlayer = <Player> then
call AddSpecialEffectLoc("effectPath", location)
endif

That desyncs because you are creating a handle (with an id > 0x100000 (1045876 or so iirc) within that block. =D

The proper way is to do it like this:

function Test takes nothing returns nothing
    local string s = "war3mapImported\\FX.mdl"

    if GetLocalPlayer() != Player(0) then //modify Player(0)
        set s = ""
    endif
    call DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffect(s,0.,0.))
endfunction

Player(0) is the player you want to show it for. Basically, set a string to your path, and locally set it to "" for all players but that player. The reason for this odd method (rather than directly setting the path with the GetLocalPlayer() == Player) is to keep the string tables synced when using a string for the first time.

Basically:

• Whee
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set MyString = "war3mapImported\\FX.mdl"
    • Custom Script: if GetLocalPlayer() != Player(0) then
    • Set MyString = <Empty String>
    • Custom Script: endif
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at <loc> using MyString... etc.
