TheWye	Hi, just a short question, can pinging minimap for a local player cause desync?

DioD	test it!

grim001	90% sure it can't cause a desync.

TheWye	How do you test desync? You need to host a multiplayer game?

DioD	No you dont. Just run map in single player and w8 before someone desync.

Veev	I must be missing something because no one is going to desync in a single player game. Anyway, not sure why you need to ping the minimap for a local player when you can ping only for specific players already.

You just answered your own question.

DioD	Run DOTA. Anything you see in dota possible in ANY map, this is very simple.

JASS:

function PingMinimapForPlayer takes player whichPlayer, real x, real y, real duration returns nothing
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == whichPlayer) then
        // Use only local code (no net traffic) within this block to avoid desyncs.
        call PingMinimap(x, y, duration)
        //call StartSound(bj_pingMinimapSound)
    endif
endfunction

Ooo. You are most certainly right. Just how uninformed am I?
