Well, I heard using LocalPlayer was risky because it could cause desyncs, so I was wondering if it was okay to use it in this manner.

Trigger:
  • Movement Sound
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
      • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
      • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    • Conditions
      • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
      • (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to Noisy sheep
    • Actions
      • Custom script: if GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) == GetLocalPlayer() then
      • Set Sound = boing <gen>
      • Custom script: else
      • Set Sound = No sound
      • Custom script: endif
      • Sound - Play Sound

I think it is ok because you don't create or destroy sound

And I think this trigger should be fine too:

Yes you do.

Playing a sound in a GetLocalPlayer block is fine. Just be careful what you do with Last Played Sound, since it got set locally.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
