function GetHost takes nothing returns nothing
    local gamecache g
    local integer array count
    local integer a = 0
    local integer popular = -1
    local integer maxCount = -1
    loop
        exitwhen a == 12
        set count[a] = 0
        set a = a + 1
    endloop
    set a = 0
    loop
        exitwhen a == 10
        set g = InitGameCache("Map.w3v")
        call StoreInteger(g, "Map", "Host", GetPlayerId(GetLocalPlayer())+1)   
        call TriggerSyncStart()
        call SyncStoredInteger(g, "Map", "Host" )
        call TriggerSyncReady()
        set count[GetStoredInteger(g, "Map", "Host")] = count[GetStoredInteger(g, "Map", "Host")] + 1
        call FlushGameCache(g)
        set g = null
        set a = a + 1
    endloop
    set a = 0
    loop
        exitwhen a == 12
        if count[a] > maxCount then
            set maxCount = count[a]
            set popular = a
        endif
        set a = a + 1
    endloop
    set udg_Host = Player(popular + 1)
endfunction

Now, in your GUI trigger, add the condition:
If (Triggering Player) Equal to Host then ..actions..

Host is your player variable, and you should compare players. (If the player that is attempting to use your commands == Host, then .. do actions.. else *do nothing*.)

Conclusion:
Player comparison - (Triggering Player) == Host

 

[Yezz]

Is that code included in every Trigger?

Could i use Host in any trigger?

 

[Rainther]

Run it once on Map Initialization. Use a custom script 'call GetHost()' and make sure to have the player variable Host. Then you should be able to use Host variable whenever you want to use the host player.

Detecting the host might be a little tricky so I suggest u use those commands when the first player from force 1 types something cuz in most games the first player of force 1 is the host. If you want to detect host look @ this

Where should i put
call GetHost()

 

[UndeadDragon]

Where should i put
call GetHost()

Use the event Map Initialization and then do

• Custom Script: call GetHost()

Make sure you have created the host variable (player variable).

 

[Yezz]

Just one time right. I only need to put it once overall?

 

[Romek]

And when the host leaves.

 

[Yezz]

(Owner of (Triggering Unit)) Equal to Host
To include right?
As condition

And when the host leaves.

What do you mean by that?

 

[Tru_Power22]

He means, and when the host leaves - then what?

My solution, pick a random player, make him the new host.

 

[Yezz]

In most games if the host leaves the game ends. Doesn't it?

 

[Rainther]

Depends on the other players hosting-game ability. If anyone can keep the game up after host leaves/disconnects.

My suggestion is a Game Message: The Captain has left the ship, big ice block ahead!
And then Game Over ;P

Jokes aside, but you need to think of stuff such as that. I haven't checked the entire trigger but you can have event On Map Initialization and all when player leaves, condtion equal to Host and then reuse the function. Maybe you have to null the Player variable first.

And when the host leaves.

Game disconnected? lol

 

[Darthfett]

He means, and when the host leaves - then what?

My solution, pick a random player, make him the new host.

What he means is you call the GetHost function once when the game starts, and every time the host leaves. Try This:

• Init
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom Script: call GetHost()
    • Trigger - Add to Get Host the event (Player - (Host) leaves the game)

• Get Host
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom Script: call GetHost()
    • Trigger - Add to (This trigger) the event (Player - (Host) leaves the game)
