Set host variable?

[Dimaspy]

First of all, I know nothing of JASS. However, what I'd like to add to my map is a system that looks up who is the host, and then set that player to a variable.

Would be good, because then the host would get a few commands to use, such as a kick system, and the maps would be moron-free

Please search next time, this has been asked a lot in the past.

I searched, but it was way too many threads to look through.
However, this code sets a game cache? In what way can this affect a player who is writing for example -kick 1 to really be able to kick that player?
I was thinking more like to add this host to Players or alike. Maybe integer.

Is it possible to work this through a condition;
(Triggering Player) Equal To Host
?

No, i think thats the only way. Just put this in yur map header.

function GetHost takes nothing returns nothing
local gamecache g = InitGameCache("Map.w3v")
call StoreInteger ( g, "Map", "Host", GetPlayerId(GetLocalPlayer ())+1)
call TriggerSyncStart ()
call SyncStoredInteger ( g, "Map", "Host" )
call TriggerSyncReady ()
set udg_Host = Player( GetStoredInteger ( g, "Map", "Host" )-1)
call FlushGameCache( g )
set g = null
endfunction

Then use this:

Custom script: call GetHost()

Yes, that is needed in order to detect the host, but the actual thing gets stored in a variable called Host of type Player which you must create.
After running GetHostAverage (Custom Script: call GetHostAverage()) this variable will be set to match the host.

Ah, right, now I get it.

But another question, in these codes, are they already made to store the data in "Host" player-variable? As this call GetHostAverage(), when running this it will store the host data, from the "Cache" game cache-variable to the "Host" variable?

Yes, just create variable(s).

What kind of variable should it be and what to name it? How do this work? I'm really new in scripting.

 

[Tom Jones]

Obviously it should be a player variable.

But what if the host is the moron >_<. The best way to go about a kick system, imo, is good ol democracy.

But how should I create a trigger that finds the host?
WHAAA, I don't get it! <.< It's so confusing.
