How to make Flashbang spell?

07-19-2008, 11:35 AM	#1
Restor	This spell is like flashbang in CS, casting unit throw spell to the casted unit and the owner of casted unit will have whole screen in white color. I tried to make it with cinematic->fade filter but i didnt find something what will affect ONLY the owner of that unit.

Why would it? It's the exact same thing you said to use.

So, why would you say it DC's if that's what you told him to use? Unless Fade Filters require syncing, this should be fine. And I'm almost 100% sure they don't, because I've seen fade filters (such as screen splats) applied to single players when attacked by enemies, and so on.

I've tried that once too and it caused a desync.
Don't know if this will work without desync, need to be tested.

JASS:

local string s = ""
if GetLocalPlayer() == YourPlayer then
    set s = "WhatEverPath"
endif
call CinematicFilterGenericBJ(<Duration>,<Blend Mode>,s,<red1>,<green1>,<blue1>,<alpha1>,<red2>,<green2>,<blue2>,<alpha2>)

It should work, using the same method as Trackables in multiplayer. It shows the fade filter for everyone and if its local player it shows the White fade.

darkwulfv	Oh, well all right then. I've never had to do that before. Guess I learned something new today :D

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Soul Chess does it... so I don't see how it could desync.
