What are you trying to do precisely? Most aspects of custom filters have workarounds of some sort. In an extreme example, you could create a rectangular "billboard" model and skin it with the desired filter (since I assume you're using a filter to display something and not as a literal filter). and then make a unit that has the desired model. Give the unit permenant invisibility. Finally, create one for the desired team in front of the camera (first set it manually to 0% transparency), and disable user control for that player for as long as you want to display it.

Unless, of course, there *is* a way to display filters to local players?

untested:

if (getlocalplayer() == player(0)) then
cinematicfadefileter(i forget the function name)
endif

CBWhiz: Could you test that? it would be so great if there was a way to apply a fade filter to just one player

The thing is It defenately works, but it may desync - as I dont have any "testing partners" online, i'm unable to test it. I'll check Blizz.j now though.
