Tracking Players

[defskull]

Hey there
I'm doing a Page System for my shop which activates from a Spellbook Ability
So, whenever a unit goes to the second page (clicks on the spellbook), all icons there are ABILITIES instead of ITEMS
I want to give items correctly to the player that ACTIVATES the ability from the Merchant Shop
I can't use Owner of (Triggering unit) because that will refer to THAT shop, not the buying unit
So, I want any script/action that detects which player activates the ability from that shop
I based it on Roar ability
Unit A presses Roar ability = Gains Blades of Attack

This talks about pretty much the same thing, i already posted a way to make it work, not sure if it is the easiest/most effective way to do it, but i guess its the only way anyone has thought of that will work xD

There are too many suggestions over there
Which one should I follow ?

The one i said, where you have the main shop and then theres hidden shops outside the camera bounds, one for each player.
But, maybe a better way would be to move the players own shop to the location of the actual shop.
Then it would show the selection circle around the shop still.
you could do SetUnitScale to make the shop owned by the player smaller.
and SetUnitVertexColor to make it transparent so nobody can see it.
So when any player selects the shop, just trigger them to select their own shop and make their shop move to the location of the one they by turning off their shops collision and do SeUnitX and SetUnitY instead of just moving it with locations
If you have a problem with players selecting each others shops instead of the one they actually see, then you can just trigger them to select the correct one
Hope this helps, if i sound too confusing i can try to explain it better xD
