visible for only one team

[mapguy]

how can I make something (like a special effect, floating text or unit) visible for only ONE team or only one player?

Floating texts got an own GUI function to show/hide them for certain players.
For special effects you would need to use jass in the form of "GetLocalPlayer()" comparison.
This is a little more complicated issue since the function can cause desync errors in your map if used incorrectly.
I bet you can find plenty of material for the topic if you search in this forum for "GetLocalPlayer()", most likely there will even be a turtorial based on it.

do something like this: (note: comments are behind a //)

• Show stuffs for only one player
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create a floating text that reads "" at (some location) //blank floating text
    • For loop integer A from 1 to 12 do actions
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set StringVariable = "Player " + String(Integer A) //we do this outside of the if GetLocalPlayer() part so that we dont create a string inside it which can cause desyncs
        • Set PlayerVariable = Player(Integer A) //this is the local player for the current string that we want to display it to
        • Custom Script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_PlayerVariable then //if statement start, case sensitive
        • Floating Text - Set Text of Last Created Floating Text to StringVariable //set the text of the floating text from before to the string variable we saved, but only for the local player
        • Custom Script: endif //end of the if statement, this is required and must be case-sensitive

basically this sets the text of the floating text we created to: "Player " + Number of Player, so the text displays differently for every single player

• actions you can use inside a GetLocalPlayer() if statement:
  • Set Visibility (multiboards, text, etc, BUT NOT units/doodads, etc)
  • Set Text (works for multiboards floating text game text etc, but MUST use a string variable to change the text, not a direct string like "Hi")
  • Special effects
