Showing multiboard to one player

[Civil]

Hi, I have referred to older threads to figure out how to show a multiboard to only one player (in gui customscript). It works when I hide one multiboard and then show it to a specific player or player(s). However when I create a second multiboard and hide it and then show it to different specific player or player(s), it hides the other multiboard instead.

I'm not sure how to paste my trigger here, but I am using


Multiboard - Hide (Multiboard Variable 1)

if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then

Multiboard - Show (Multiboard Variable 1)

endif

Multiboard - Hide (Multiboard Variable 2)

if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(3) then

Multiboard - Show (Multiboard Variable 2)

endif

Any clue what I am doing wrong? I am positive I created/set the variables correctly.

Seems correct to me..

You could do

if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
show 1
else if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(3)
show 2
endif


It is only speculation on my end though.

Use [trigger][/trigger] to display GUI triggers. It easier for us to help you that way
I think you should also show the whole trigger (meaning the variable declaration too).

Also you should hide for all first and then show locally. Try what Chaosy is suggesting.

He does hide globally and then show locally.

An idea if you want to use GUI, follow the example in GetLocalPlayer
GUI has a better safety net generally speaking.

GUI multiboard creation automatically shows the multiboard for all players. As such there are 3 solutions.

• JASS: Use JASS directly and skip showing the multiboard during creation. Instead show the multiboards locally for the desired player.
• Initialization: Create all multiboards first, then hide all multiboards, then show them locally for the desired players.
• Refresh: Every time a new multiboard is created hide all multiboards and then show all multiboards locally for the desired players.

From what we can tell from his code he have already created the multiboards before he starts hiding any of them though.

I got it working. The problem was I was creating one board, hiding it for all players and then showing it to one in localplayer, then creating another, hiding it for all players then showing it to another in localplayer. Creating them together then hiding all boards before showing to each specific player fixed it. Thank you all for your help : )
