Creating destructibles for local player

[The Undaddy]

Will creating a destructible (say,pathing blocker) for local player cause a crash/split?

 

[Rheias]

Creating any handle to a local player will cause problems, so to answer your question, yes.

[del]Bull.

Rheias: A unit is a handle. Units always get created for local players. Many other types of handles get created for local players safely. What are you talking about Rheias? Did I missunderstand something? Units is not handles?

The Undaddy: Anyway, making a pathing blocker for one person is unsafe like Rheias says. Better to do a conditioned unit enters region located at x,y,x2,y2, and unit is owned by <certain player> of type <flyer or unit type> then move unit to x3,y3.

Either that or put up with pathing blockers for all players. [/del]

They don't get created for local players...

I tried to make a local unit once and I desync.

Certainly not, no.
Creating any handles for one player only is sure to desync...

Sorry Rheias I confused local with owning.

Would it be able to hide it for local player, using this function:

native          ShowDestructable            takes destructable d, boolean flag returns nothing

Not sure though, as units cannot be hidden to local players..

Or is it possible to remove destructable only for local player? Or then change the destructables animation to death for local player.. there's not much options left here.

I would try this:

ShowDestructableForPlayer takes destructable d, player p returns nothing
    local boolean flag = false
    if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
        set flag = true
    endif
    call ShowDestructable(d, flag)
endfunction

 

[AceHart]

Assuming that works, why not just:
call ShowDestructable(d, GetLocalPlayer() == p)

 

[Uberplayer]

Since when have we been able to do so?

call ShowDestructable(d, GetLocalPlayer() == p)

But tested it, it's possible! Also removing is possible, but dunno if it safe...

You could set the scale of the destructable to 0. That way, you cannot see it, but it is still there.
