Checking if client is host? [Solved]

[BloxersPost]

How would I check if a client is the host?

There's a stuffload of chrcks you have to do. I personally hard-code my BL ID.

Ah, well I'm making a mod that I really need to make a check for it. I plan on releasing sooner or later.

Then an alternative would be adding a pref so the host sets its ID.

Best way: getNumKeyID() == %client.getBLID()
Not the best way for LAN servers

Aye, thanks man. Never thought of that.

%isHost = (%client.isLocalConnection() || %client.getBLID() == getNumKeyID());

if(%isHost)
{
    echo("Yes");
}

else
{
    echo("No");
}

Why use BL_ID and not getBLID()? I feel like it's insecure

Oops.

Something like this should work on normal servers, lan servers and blocknet servers:

if(%client.isHost || %client.bl_id == 999999 || %client.bl_id == getNumKeyId())

[Pastrey Crust]

Blocknet servers? What's the difference with them?

If you use that rental key thing the actual host will never join the server. I think it sets isHost instead.

Oh, thanks! I'll use this instead, looks way more reliable.

.isHost is also set by RTB, if you use that.

Ah, thanks. That clears up a question I've had in mind for a while lol. But I'm going to use what Zeblote put because I want to ensure people who don't have RTB may use it as well. Also, thanks for your earlier reply, even if I'm not using it all replies are greatly appreciated.
