[vJASS] Leaderboard Help

[Mr_Bean]

Hi guys,

I can't seem to figure out why this script doesn't work:

library CreepCounter

    private function GroupConditions takes nothing returns boolean
        return GetUnitTypeId(GetFilterUnit()) != DUMMY_ID and GetOwningPlayer(GetFilterUnit()) == Player(11)
    endfunction

    public function Create takes nothing returns nothing
        local integer count = 0
        
        set creepCounter = CreateLeaderboard()
        call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(enumG, bj_mapInitialPlayableArea, Condition(function GroupConditions))
        
        for enumU in enumG
            set count = count + 1
        endfor
        
        call LeaderboardAddItem(creepCounter, "Creeps left:", count, Player(11))
        call LeaderboardSetItemStyle(creepCounter, 1, true, true, false)
        call LeaderboardSetItemLabelColor(creepCounter, 1, 100, 80, 0, 256)
        call LeaderboardSetItemValueColor(creepCounter, 1, 100, 80, 0, 256)
        call LeaderboardDisplay(creepCounter, false)
        call LeaderboardDisplay(creepCounter, true)
    endfunction

endlibrary

creepCounter has been declared as a global elsewhere. When I run this with a debug message, it counts the number of creeps correctly, but does not display the leaderboard at all. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mr_Bean

Add this line when setting up the leaderboard:

call PlayerSetLeaderboard(YOUR_PLAYER, creepCounter)

First of all: Apply the code that FlashBond posted.

        call LeaderboardSetItemLabelColor(creepCounter, 1, 100, 80, 0, 256)
        call LeaderboardSetItemValueColor(creepCounter, 1, 100, 80, 0, 256)

The 256 is invalid value for a 0-255 value, your text will be invisible Also if you want it to apply for the first line you have to put 0 instead of 1( stupid thing again from blizzard ). Furthermore you have to use call LeaderboardSetSizeByItemCount( creepCounter , /* use this native, or the exact amount. */ LeaderboardGetItemCount( creepCounter ) ) to display properly. Also creating a leaderboard only work after game started( 0.0 timer/wait is enough ).

Thanks man, this helped!

It seemed to work with an alpha value of 256, but I fixed it anyway. Thanks, setting the size is something I was missing.

I looked up a good explanation for this and it's because of offsets. Because memory starts directly at the specified memory address, not 1 byte after. So if you make a computer language that starts all indexes with 1 the interpretor needs to subtract 1 or leave the first element blank. But that would be very inefficient.

Thanks for making me learn things
