UI Natives Causing Desync?

xorkatoss · Jan 18, 2022

Hey everybody, so I started doing some stuff with the UI Natives but there seems to be a desync problem when I do actions locally.

I create the UI for all players and I try to modify it locally which I thought was ok but I guess not?

Also sorry in advance for noob/bad coding, jass is not my forte >_>

Testing was done in LAN, I launch 2 instances from b.net in window mode, log out and create a LAN game, dual screens also help a lot.

Here is a quick video: youtube

JASS:

function CreateIcons takes nothing returns nothing

1. Generally speaking you should limit the scope of code that is affected by GetLocalPlayer as much as possible - i.e. do not wrap 50 lines of code in one big "if GetLocalPlayer..." block
2. I'm not an expert on framehandle desyncs but my read of this code is that you probably have desync in string interner. A better way to do this is like:

bad:

JASS:

    if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
    // ...
    set icon = BlzGetFrameByName( "Inventory1" , 0)
    if GetItemType(UnitItemInSlot(u, 0)) == ITEM_TYPE_PERMANENT then
    set blp = BlzGetItemIconPath(UnitItemInSlot(u, 0))
    call BlzFrameSetTexture(icon, blp ,0, true)
    else
    call BlzFrameSetTexture(icon, "EmptyIcon.blp" ,0, true)
    endif
    // ...
    endif

better:

JASS:

    set icon = BlzGetFrameByName("Inventory1", 0)
    if GetItemType(UnitItemInSlot(u, 0)) == ITEM_TYPE_PERMANENT then
      set blp = BlzGetItemIconPath(UnitItemInSlot(u, 0))
      call BlzFrameSetTexture(icon, blp, 0, true)
    else
      set blp = "EmptyIcon.blp"
    endif
    if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
      call BlzFrameSetTexture(icon, blp, 0, true)
    endif

@Cokemonkey11 wow than for the fast reply dude!
I'm not 100% sure butI guess I thought having a lot of code in a local block wouldn't really matter because most of the stuff that change are locals anyway, the blp variable for example is a local string.

also your better way is also not gonna work because this:

JASS:

call BlzFrameSetTexture(icon, blp, 0, true)

still changes the icon for everybody if it's not in a local block xD

BUT I think I understand what you are trying to say and you gave me a hint on how to improve the code a bit thanks!

ALSO UI Natives don't cause desyncs, here is a little test I tried

EDIT:
AWESOME! I have actually found the problem with the help of @Cokemonkey11
I tried the following code:

JASS:

    set icon = BlzGetFrameByName( "Inventory1" , 0)
    if GetItemType(UnitItemInSlot(u, 0)) == ITEM_TYPE_PERMANENT then
    set blp = BlzGetItemIconPath(UnitItemInSlot(u, 0))
    else
    set blp = "EmptyIcon.blp"
    endif
    if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
    call BlzFrameSetTexture(icon, blp ,0, true)
    endif

and the problem seems to be solved! :thumbs_up:
