[Trigger] White mask's for only one player.

[DeadlySheep_1]

As the title suggests, I need to know how how to apply a white mask to only one player. I'm using WE, not WEU, and if I want to apply a white mask, it doesn't give me an option to only apply a white mask to only one player. The idea I have in mind is to make a flashbang grenade, which blinds people in an area around where the grenade lands, and it blinds you more if your unit is facing the grenade.

Thanks in advance

weird i probably could help and test it if i could find the thing that turns on the white mask, but i can only find a black mask. but what i would do is use variables for the owner of the units in the region around and then add those players to a player group then apply white mask, but im not sure if that would work right

The only way I could think to do it (without using JASS) would be to create a large doodad at the position of the explosion that has a bright particle emitter (like the Chain Lightning Missile model). Anyway, Im sure the JASS solution would look much better, but I wouldnt know how to do it.

Is there any way I can do it with JASS? I can do a bit of JASS, but not enough for most of the things I do.

The thing to get a white mask is Cinematic - Advanced filter. So i'm gonna start with the white mask with no transparency, and then end up with with full transparency so they can't see it an more.

ahh alright cus what i tried to do was just use a black mask and set the variable "Banged" to the owner of units in region, then i probably didnt need this but added the player "banged" to a player group and created a modifier region for all players in player group it seemed to work, but it didnt last for anytime at all what happened was the screen sort of flashed and the units dissapeared for a flash

The thing i found is from WEU (i think so bc i forgot it and dont have WEU )
But it works fine

function CinematicFilterGenericForPlayer takes player whichPlayer, real duration, blendmode bmode, string tex, real red0, real green0, real blue0, real trans0, real red1, real green1, real blue1, real trans1 returns nothing
  if GetLocalPlayer() == whichPlayer then
    call SetCineFilterTexture(tex)
    call SetCineFilterBlendMode(bmode)
    call SetCineFilterTexMapFlags(TEXMAP_FLAG_NONE)
    call SetCineFilterStartUV(0, 0, 1, 1)
    call SetCineFilterEndUV(0, 0, 1, 1)
    call SetCineFilterStartColor(PercentTo255(red0), PercentTo255(green0), PercentTo255(blue0), PercentTo255(100-trans0))
    call SetCineFilterEndColor(PercentTo255(red1), PercentTo255(green1), PercentTo255(blue1), PercentTo255(100-trans1))
    call SetCineFilterDuration(duration)
    call DisplayCineFilter(true)
  endif
endfunction
