add items to a shop for a single player only

[SerraAvenger]

Is there any way to add items to a shop for a single player without getting Desyncs?

And is there a way to make the item not dissapear from the shop once it is bought?

thanks in advance for help, Davey

No

Items don't disappear from shops anyway..?

You mean, for only one player, or as in, single-player-mode? Why not just make a boolean and allow only certain player heroes to wear 'item'.

And is there a way to make the item not dissapear from the shop once it is bought?

What?

 

[simonake]

Maybe.

if GetLocalPlayer() = whichplayer
//don't know jass action name...
Game - Add XX to shop YY
endif

Won't that desync for above?

I'm pretty sure simonake's thing will desync.

 

[simonake]

desync means,
a) work
b) non-leak
c) none of these answer, This is the right one

 

[Romek]

And you don't know what desync means.

Not to mention:
"if GetLocalPlayer() = whichplayer"
Should be:
"if GetLocalPlayer() == whichplayer then"

 

[simonake]

And you don't know what desync means.

Can't tell me what it means then?, c) I guess...

People never answer my quizzs. dang.

I'd reccommend you make a dummy shop that gets selected if the certain player clicks the main shop.

Or instead of rummaging through all of this, one could just make a boolean array for each player. Add the item to the shop and set the booleans to true for each player you want to be able to buy it. Make a condition that checks :

return MAHLEETBOOLEAN[GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))] == false

Then simply make some actions that remove the manipulated item from the game and restock the store + refund the player who bought it.

That's impractical for my use, while generally a good idea.
EDIT:
@Frozenhelfir - I'll most probably do something like that... Although it is still quite ugly to have an item in a shop you can't buy for the whole game >_>

Try simonankes code and buy the item in single player. Swuush.. The item is permanently gone (from the shop, that is) : /

@simonanke: That was (almost) the code I was using moths ago and it did desync - at the moment the item was bought.

I don't think GetLocalPlayer can help you with this issue.

You can add and remove items from any shop that has the ability 'Sell Items'. Which means that you could remove a certain item when a certain unit comes within range of the shop.
But if that unit stays there, and another unit comes within range - that item might be added.

The best thing you could do to restrict items from certain units is to replace them with a "muted" item (like in Dota), that does nothing, so that they can sell it and get their gold back (or some of it, at least.)

You can create 12 shops, 1 for each player. All on top of eachother. You can size the ones of other players down to 0 with some GetLocalPlayer(). Sizing things down doesn't cause any desyncs, but it makes selection impossible if there is something else of top.

 

[Romek]

As well as sizing them down, you could make all the rest transparent.
Setting Vertex Colour doesn't desync either.

 

[vypur85]

Downsizing and set the flying height very high. First to avoid being visible and second to avoid being selected (at least not so easy).

 

[simonake]

@simonanke: That was (almost) the code I was using moths ago and it did desync - at the moment the item was bought.

Everytime item is bought, add it again.

 

[Azlier]

...What will that do? That won't prevent desyncs.

 

[simonake]

I don't know, no one told me what was desync.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Desyncs occur instantaneously.
Changing stuff back "really quick" won't do anything .

From what I know, it's basically when one persons data doesn't match up to another persons or something.
I don't fully understand it but I know what causes them.
