Fade Filter for ONE player

[Syndrome]

How do you make a fade filter fade in and out for 1 player? I know i've seen this before, but i don't know where the Thread went...
Thx in Advance

Use locals?

 

[Jazradel]

Look at my post on this page about hiding a unit for one player. The same principle applies.

 

[soulbad]

You would do something like player group or if/then/else just so it limits it to one player, or do something with triggering player.

Can you give me the code? i am horrible with JASS

Use locals?

A little explanation half-off topic.

Local Player and locals are two differentiated things.
Local player is the player who plays on a computer. So, the function (Local Player) will return different values in every computer.
Locals are variables that only have meaning inside a trigger. Thus they're called locals in comparison with globals, that have meaning in all triggers.

Can you give me the code? i am horrible with JASS

Custom script: if( GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) ) then
    Fade - Filter...
Custom script: endif

This is for player 1.
For other players, change Player(0) for Player(number of player - 1).
PE. For player4 you must use Player(3).

Argg. It won't work, Im trying to use the Dream Fade Filter with 100% red, and the thing won't run. Can you give me ALL of the code please?

Check the opacity, try changing that into 0% coz I dunno if it works with anything else than 0%(never tried with more LOL). And if 100% red wont work, why dont you just create your own red picture and then make it to blp.

What do you mean by the whole code? The events and the conditions too?

Well, I just want to get the JASS code for the fade filter. ALL OF IT please, i have no knowledge of JASS, im going to learn it some day...

 

[xPheRe]

Custom script: if( GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) ) then
    Fade - Filter...
Custom script: endif

This is all the JASS involved in the operation.

Maybe, if you post your triggers, we can do something about your problem.

Not sure if this works,

Sniper Zoom In
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Sniper Zoom (On)
    Actions
Custom script: call CinematicFilterGenericForPlayer(Player(0), 10.0, BLEND_MODE_BLEND, ReplaceableTextures\CameraMasks\Crosshair_Mask.blp,  100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 )

Then add this to the custom script thing:

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

BTW, xphere how do i do the player of the casting unit instead of 0-11.

 

[TPOX]

ahh crap i got 411 errors from that.

Ok nevermind, if you add a custom filter, use two \\'s on every one \ and use "filter".

Not to barge in on ur own topic but again Xphere, how do i do casting unit! >.<

 

[xPheRe]

Two ways.
Use a player variable, then set the variable to Owner of (Casting unit) and replace Player(0) with udg_your_variable

Set playerTemp = Owner of (Casting unit)
Custom script: if( GetLocalPlayer() == udg_playerTemp ) then
...
Custom script: endif

The other way is calling JASS code directly.
Owner of unit => GetOwningPlayer( unit )
Casting unit => GetSpellAbilityUnit( )
so

Custom script: if( GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer( GetSpellAbilityUnit( ) ) ) then
...
Custom script: endif

I hope this helps

EDIT- I guess it was because you cant remove the ability that was casted from the unit until after you run the custom. atleast thats what i think? It works if i remove ability after.

k i did this, it works but the filter does nothing. so i guess it doesnt work.... well but it doesnt crash either

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Night Vision (On)
    Then - Actions
        Unit - Add Night Vision (Off) to (Casting unit)
        Unit - Remove (Ability being cast) from (Casting unit)
        Custom script: if( GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer( GetSpellAbilityUnit( ) ) ) then
        Custom script: call CinematicFilterGenericForPlayer(GetOwningPlayer( GetSpellAbilityUnit( ) ), 2.0, BLEND_MODE_BLEND, "ReplaceableTextures\\CameraMasks\\White_mask.blp",  100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 0.0, 100.0, 0.0, 75.0 )
        Custom script: endif
    Else - Actions
        Do nothing

 

[xPheRe]

If you look carefully to your triggers, you're checking the player comparison twice.
The first one in the if( GetLocalPlayer() == ... ) and the second one inside the CinematicFilterGenericForPlayer function.
Remove the first condition check.

Events
    A unit starts the effect of ability
Conditions
    (Ability being cast) Equal to Night Vision (On)
Actions
    Unit - Add Night Vision (Off) to (Casting unit)
    Unit - Remove (Ability being cast) from (Casting unit)
    Custom script: call CinematicFilterGenericForPlayer(GetOwningPlayer( GetSpellAbilityUnit( ) ), 2.0, BLEND_MODE_BLEND, "ReplaceableTextures\\CameraMasks\\White_mask.blp",  100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 0.0, 100.0, 0.0, 75.0 )

Well, your code seems quite right to me...
Try playing with the color parameters of the function.
