Allow Host to skip Cinematic

[Volkof]

Hello all,

Through searching, I have learned how to detect the Host player, and store in the variable Host (type=player).

Now I want only the Host to be able to skip cinematic. But the Event does not allow me to do so.

Skip Intro
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
    Conditions
    Actions
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: Player Red has skip...

It doesnt allow me to set Player 1 (Red) as variable Host. Any idea?

trigger - add new event

Thanks it works

But why do I need to do this for it to work? Is it just a stubborn hard coded rule that Blizzard implemented?

It's because you can't set the Player variable before and event in GUI I believe. When the event is being created normally all global values are currently nulled and can't be used.
But by adding through triggers the global variables have had the time to be set.
