Local Multiboard Desync

06-20-2005, 03:53 PM

I attempted to create a Local Multiboard using the "if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then" script. It causes all players to disconnect at Map initialization.

Whats the best way to make a local multiboard such as this one work without the desync?

Code:

CreateLocalMultiboards

Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
    
Conditions
   
 Actions
        -------- Player1 --------
                Custom script:   if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
                Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 11 columns and 3 rows, titled Statistics
                Set Multiboard[1] = (Last created multiboard)
                For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 1 to 1.00% of the total screen width
                        Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 1 to ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor01.blp
                For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 2 to 1.00% of the total screen width
                        Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 2 to ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor00.blp
                For each (Integer A) from 1 to 11, do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 3 to Show text and Hide icons
                Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 11, row 1 to Show text and Hide icons
                Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 11, row 2 to Show text and Hide icons
                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 11, row 1 to Shield
                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 11, row 2 to Health
                Multiboard - Minimize (Last created multiboard)
                Multiboard - Maximize (Last created multiboard)
                Custom script:   endif
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

Anitarf	Don't create a multiboard for a local player, of coure creating objects causes desync. Create the board for all players and then just show it to a single player.

The GetLocalPlayer() block shold only be used for the Show action and the things that change values and icons of items.

When you create a multiboard you are creating an object, using memory and desyncing.

for this case you can save up all the work and do this:

Code:

Custom Script : call MultiboardDisplay(bj_lastCreatedMultiboard ,GetLocalPlayer()==Player(0))

After the creation and things done to the multiboard, and forget theGetLocalPLayer() if then else block

Code:

Then - Actions
    Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 11 columns and 3 rows, titled Statistics
    Set Multiboard[1] = (Last created multiboard)
    For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 1 to 1.00% of the total screen width
            Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 1 to ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor01.blp
    For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 2 to 1.00% of the total screen width
            Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 2 to ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor00.blp
    For each (Integer A) from 1 to 11, do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column (Integer A), row 3 to Show text and Hide icons
    Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 11, row 1 to Show text and Hide icons
    Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 11, row 2 to Show text and Hide icons
    Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 11, row 1 to Shield
    Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 11, row 2 to Health
    Multiboard - Minimize (Last created multiboard)
    Multiboard - Maximize (Last created multiboard)
    [b]Custom script:   call MultiboardDisplay(bj_lastCreatedMultiboard ,GetLocalPlayer()==Player(0))[/b]

What did I do wrong this time?

Tim.	Sorry, bump.

Tim.

Okay I think I found out part of the issue. I can only use the

Code:

Custom script:   call MultiboardDisplay(udg_Multiboard[2], GetLocalPlayer()==Player(0))

Once in the game. It works fine untill I make a second one for Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, etc. If this is the case, then how do I make a multiboard for every player, so that each player sees thier own stats?

Note: Sorry about the triple post..heh.

create a board for every player in an array, hide them all, then do this:

Code:

For each (Integer A) from 1to 8, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Set tempPlayer = (Player((Integer A)))
        Custom script:   if udg_tempPlayer == GetLocalPlayer() then
        Multiboard - Show Multiboard1[(Integer A)]
        Custom script:   endif
