Way to detect which player is host?

[LazyCoder]

Hi, is there a way to detect which player is the host player? If not I guess I'll just have to assume that the first occupied slot is the host.

it's possible, but I wouldn't use it since the sudden influx of GHosts...

have you used the search engine? Its a pretty simple find. Or even go to the tutorial section, you will find there a couple times.

I did do a search, but all I got was either misc. crap or people trying to figure out why they couldn't host on Bnet.

function GetHost takes nothing returns nothing
    local gamecache g = InitGameCache("Map.w3v")
    call StoreInteger ( g, "Map", "Host", GetPlayerId(GetLocalPlayer ())+1)
    call TriggerSyncStart ()
    call SyncStoredInteger ( g, "Map", "Host" )
    call TriggerSyncReady ()
    set udg_Host = Player( GetStoredInteger ( g, "Map", "Host" )-1)
    call FlushGameCache( g )
    set g = null
endfunction

Would it help if I curled up into a ball and rolled down the stairs? Would that make people quit pointing it out?
