Functions that makes desynch in the replay

popp	Hi everyone, does anyone knows if there are some functions that makes the replay desynch. I mean if i play a game with my map, when i look at the replay it's a completely different game :s Does anyone has an idea ?

Captain Griffen	Anything that creates handles I think; any randomisation functions. Loads of stuff.

popp	could you be more precise please ?

Captain Griffen	Not really. Mainly (if not all, possibly a few less stuff actually) it's stuff that'd cause a desync online.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	As far as I know, this isn't possible... due to the fact replays end when someone gets desynchronised and all.

Troll-Brain	All functions with GetLocalPlayer are fucked up. Because GetLocalPlayer returns the first human player full slot in a replay.

popp	i know about the local player problem :) but even if i turn off all stuffs linked to that it makes a desynch :'(

Troll-Brain	Many gui functions use GetLocalPlayer as well.

Use Jasscraft to check every ones.

An example :

JASS:

function DisplayTextToForce takes force toForce, string message returns nothing
    if (IsPlayerInForce(GetLocalPlayer(), toForce)) then
        // Use only local code (no net traffic) within this block to avoid desyncs.
        call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, message)
    endif
endfunction

In general if a function use a player or a force.

popp	i check for GetLocalPlayer in the .j of my map, all triggers using it are disabled and the replay still desynch :s

Tide-Arc Ephemera	It would help if you provided some information on how they're asynchronous.

it's really strange.
I do 2 games, the same start.
but i will play more in the second than in the first one.
at the beggining i order a unit to build few buildings. 5 for example.
if i leave the game and go watch replay now it will not desynch.
but if i do the same stuff and play more longer after it will desynch in replay, the unit will never build the 3rd building and after it's a completely different game :) :(

Joker	Why do you care about the replay anyway?

Captain Griffen	Replays do sometimes randomly desync, non-deterministically. Hmm...come to think of it, that could be when GetLocalPlayer changes during the replay (which it does, buggy).
