        • Set ScopeOn[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = True

        • Set ScopeOn[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = False
        • Set AngledTurned[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = 8.25
        • Set AngleOfAttack[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = -5.00
  • Else - Actions

where the fade filter takes place, does any1 know how to make it where it only affects the owner of the triggering unit, if so, could you please show me the code for it.

Try this..

• Then - Actions
  • Custom Script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then
  • Cinematic - Fade out over 0.50 seconds using texture war3mapImported\GunAim_Moon_assailant_A_004.tga and color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
  • Custom Script: endif

Might cause desyncs, might aswell try it.

no no no.. thats not what i meant.. like, whenever the player casts the spell, itll show the scope on their screen only. and when another player casts the spell, itll do the same. but since the others players didnt cast the spell, it wont appear on the screen.

Thats what it does, shows the fadefilter for one person only, right? this will show it for the owner of the triggering unit.

 

[Moon_assailant]

ok.. well ill try it out. im not used to this stuff. i am not that much into vjass and things yet.

edit: it doesnt work ((

It would only show as long as it was the triggering player, but that would be every time, for every player, since the function doesn't take a player. If you could change the RRGGBB values for the triggering player though, then thats a diffrent story.

What are you talking about? He never used GetTriggeringPlayer() but GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) and that is only the owner of the filter.
This hastowork, but it will cause desyncs. You aren't allowed to crate filters locally. You have to create them for allplayers, hide it for all players and then show it for the local one.

Use and advanced fade filter with GetLocalPlayer() tags and you'll be fine.

• Part of trigger:
• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then
• Cinematic - Fade out over 0.50 seconds using texture war3mapImported\GunAim_Moon_assailant_A_004.tga and color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
• Custom script: endif

whenever i tried it this way, it didnt work. it was still shown on the other players screen.
@Darkt3mpl3r, i am going to try your method

edit: @Darkt3mpl3r, thank you so much D it finally works +rep!!

Hi Justify. May I ask, does this include the fading IN of said filter? (not just fading out?) Do you need to create the fade in, hide the fade in, then show it only for local player?

This does kind of work, but it only ever works for one player at a time (when both units trigger it at almost the same period of time). Could this be a problem based on my method of testing? I'm using JNGP multiplayer emulation to test it. Perhaps detecting local player isn't so simple when you're running two warcrafts.
