" Local Time " ? - Exists?

[Demi666]

okay so i just woundered, is it possible to make a local daytime?

like its 13:00 for player 1 red
and 14:00 for player 2 blue ?

i cant seem to find anything that matches what im looking for

it's a bit strange of a request.
if the "global" gametime is not good enough for you, and not even to e.g. give player 1 a +3 hour bias and player 4 a -6 hour bias, then you could still go on and have global reals for each player containing their "custom" time.

 

[Demi666]

could you be a lil bit more specifiec ?

 

[Doomhammer]

well, whatever you're doing, if there is a direct relation between the (one and only) gametime and your playertime, which can be expressed by a function, then there'll barely be any need to even create variables. I'll create some anywhoo to show you what I mean

e.g.

globals
  real time_p1
  real time_p2
  real time_p3
  real time_p4
endglobals

function DoSomething takes nothing returns nothing
local real gametime=GetFloatGameState(ConvertFGameState(2))  //game time of day
set time_p1= gametime - 1.0 // game time of day minus 1 hour
set time_p2= gametime + 1.0 // game time of dy plus one hour
set time_p3=SquareRoot(time_p1+time_p2)+GetRandomReal(0,gametime) //whatever sort of time
set time_p4=gametime //game time of day again
call DoWhatEver(Player(0),time_p1)
endfunction

If necessary, create a real array for your time, or if those few kb an array consumes are too much, then a little function that allocates player number and player time will do as well. If you'd constantly like to access your player times in various instances, then it will be wise to have a function which constantly runs and constantly readjusts/updates the individual player times. Have the function run as often per second as accurately your need your time. Otherwise, if things are rather simple just calculate your time locally.
Hope that helps

EDIT: fixing some

function Trig_TryThis_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
     if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then // Can be any player instead of Player(0)
        call SetTimeOfDay( 12 )
    endif
endfunction

Might work, not sure if this is battle.net friendly.

seems weird to me...
handle > gamestate > fgamestate

Global variables of type fgamestate:

common.j:
GAME_STATE_TIME_OF_DAY


Thus you change a handle for a local player. If you ask me, this will cause a server split....

greets, davey

I agree, this can't turn out good.

Aye, I suspected it too, but Demi666 can always try to test it.

If this doesn't work, there nothing will work.

 

[Demi666]

well could you please give me full code? long time since i read jass or even touched WE i kind of need to copy / paste sorry lol^^ im making a map atm

so i have to read upp on jass when i have the time thanks

Can I bump my quick questions when we're still on the GetLocalPlayer() topic? Sorry, I just need those answers . I would've written the code you asked for if I knew.

Can you "GetLocalPlayer" (that's a verb) ShowUnit and SetUnitVertexColor?

 

[Chocobo]

You can't for ShowUnit but you can for the Vertex coloring.

 

[Silvenon]

Darn!!! That sucks...... Is there any way to hide a unit for only one player? (I don't mean set it's alpha to 0 because then you can still see the shadow)

>>Darn!!! That sucks...... Is there any way to hide a unit for only one player? (I don't mean set it's alpha to 0 because then you can still see the shadow)
I wonder if this works:

function ShowUnitForPlayer takes player p,unit u , boolean Show returns nothing
    if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
        call ShowUnit(u,Show)
    endif
endfunction

 

[Rheias]

> ~GaLs~

Did you read Chocobo's post? No, it will not work.

 

[AceHart]

You can't for ShowUnit but you can for the Vertex coloring.

You sure it's not the other way around?

 

[Rheias]

> You sure it's not the other way around?

What Chocobo said makes more sense. You can always test it.

 

[Zouflain]

If a unit that is hidden on one screen but not another, I am almost certain that causes a split. Essentially, the computer with the unit hidden is left asking "okay, so what the crap just did that anyway?"

 

[AceHart]

The game doesn't desync from stuff that one player can see and another can't.

It desyncs if that unit only exists for one player.
Seeing is different though.

As for the colors, well, a unit only has its current color.
It doesn't have a different set for each player...

 

[SFilip]

> You sure it's not the other way around?
It makes sense to me, a unit hidden with ShowUnit cannot be, for instance, attacked, while the one "hidden" with vertex coloring can and works pretty much like a normal unit.
Do correct me if I'm wrong though.

Damn, there goes my system......Thanks for help guys, and sorry for hijacking Demi
