Showing stuff only for one player

[Sid]

First of all... Hello to all... I am kinda new here..
Well, I was a War3 mapper, then I retired and came back again.

I wanna know that is there any way by which I can make the floating text to be displayed only for a perticular player?

I mean I just want to show the floating text to the player who casts a spell showing how much damage the spell did to the enemy. If I use default functions, the text shall be visible to everyone...

Adiitionally, Is it possible to make such that some perticular effects show up to only some player? Like I want a high quality effect to show up only to those players who have enabled it to show up via in game commands system.

I hope the quetions are clear... Shall I elaborate any further?

Like this? Note: This leaks.

• Lol
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Hide (Last created floating text) for (All players)
    • Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit))))

Okay, got it. So I have to do this for each, the moment I create Floating text.

Anyway what about the Effects or Models for only specicfic player?

uhmmm i'm not sure that you can hide a model or effect for a player..

Ah. That is tougher.

• LolTrig
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- String and Player variables needed. --------
    • Set Fx = Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() != udg_MyPlayerVar then
    • Set Fx = <Empty String>
    • Custom script: endif
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of (Playable map area)) using Fx

You may think that the above is alot of code to create a single effect, however there's a perfectly reasonable explanation fot it:
