    call TriggerSyncStart ()
    call SyncStoredInteger ( g, "Map", "Host" )

And how would you know it doesn't get host I don't see any code their to do anything once the host is found.

Yea add like:
call DisplayTextToForce(GetPlayersAll(),I2S(GetPlayerId(udg_host)))

Dont run that script at map initialization, run it at least a few seconds after game has started. It seems to yield much better results.

How does this script get the host anyway...

[Aero]

This stores an integer in every players' gamecache equal to their id+1
call StoreInteger ( g, "Map", "Host", GetPlayerId(GetLocalPlayer ())+1)

When working correctly, this block of code will sync all the players' stored integers to that of the host.
call TriggerSyncStart ()
call SyncStoredInteger ( g, "Map", "Host" )
call TriggerSyncReady ()

Therefore, this will return the id of the host.
set udg_Host = Player( GetStoredInteger ( g, "Map", "Host" )-1)

I wonder why Icefrog didn't use this host tracing system to track don't the host and let only the host to type commands for game mode.

It's kinda annoying everytime the host has to be player blue.
It's also impossible for the host to be Scourge team if it was normal mode.(ie. team pick)
