Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons

Affects all rows and columns... It is much easyer and shorter...
And using the IntegerA or IntegerB functions would simplify anything -_-"
Here's a better version of the trigger(probably not the best...) :

Multiboard Copy
- Events
  - Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
- Conditions
- Actions
  - For each (Integer A) from 2 to 11, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Set Kills[(Integer A)] = 0
  - Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 2 columns and 11 rows, titled Player's Info
  - Multiboard - Minimize (Last created multiboard)
  - Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to 10.00% of the total screen width
  - Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to 5.00% of the total screen width
  - Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Defender
  - Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to Kills
  - Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
  - For each (Integer A) from 2 to 11, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Player((Integer A)) slot status) Equal to Is playing
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (Integer A) to 10.00% of the total screen width
        
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (Integer A) to 5.00% of the total screen width
        
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (Integer A) to (Name of (Player((IntegerA))))
        
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (Integer A) to (String(Kills[2]))
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Do nothing

And you're done
Think, how shorter is this...

Edited : Fixed a brainless bug

Question...

Okay I have the Multiboard set up, except mine is 3x11 instead of 2x4.

Well, Column 3 is the Score column which is

Set PlayerKills = (PlayerKills x 50)

I'm not sure if I did that right, but logically it looks good. For each hero killed, I want 50 points to be added to the scoreboard for whoever killed the hero.

Anyway, I have a couple questions:
+First, I want the winner of each "round" in my map to gain a bonus 100 points. Is this possible? (Seems to me like I need to bring in another trigger entirely though i am not certain of this)
+Next, I want to know if I can arrange the Multiboard by SCORE, rather than by name.
+Last, (and i don't think this has anything to do with the Multiboard itself other than referring to it) is there a way to pick out the top 5 scores from the Multiboard, and have them be the only ones to continue to a following round (making the other players receive defeat message and be removed from game)?

These are the final pieces I need to make my Multiboard fully functional more or less other than a few quirks I can probably figure out myself. Anyway, I just need a simple yes/no answer as to whether they are possible in your knowledge. If they are I will hit up the Request board when I need these things for my map.

I apologize for asking so much.
Also, +Rep for the amazing tutorial! Even this complete noob of triggers was able to get through this with some common sense and a little patience.

deaths..

for whenever a hero dies i used this trigger:

Actions
Set redDeaths - (redDeaths + 1)
Multiboard - Set the text for (last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 3 to (string(redDeaths))

when my hero dies it works sometimes but goes by 2 other times. How do i fix this?

CloudMax · Apr 7, 2009

I need some help, when i try to make so that the multiboard only appears for one player, it doesnt work.
[Trigger=This is the trigger]
Custom script: if ( GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) ) then
Multiboard - Show Multiboards[1]
Custom script: endif
[/Trigger]

EDIT: If im not totally wrong, in your "Hero Health %'s:" example, player 1 have to be playing otherwise it wont check if player 2 and so on. Isnt it better if they are separated? It will cause a error in the code otherwise. For example, if player 1, 3 & 5 is playing. It wont read that player 3 & 5 is playing becouse player 2 & 4 is not in the game. I might be wrong but im almost sure that im right.

EDIT2: I solved my problem. The problem was that i created another multiboard after that one which hides it instantly after it shows up. How stupid of me >.<

I think i readed that there isnt a trigger to see how much exp its left etc.
But with some calculations, you could make the trigger recoginse the level, and know how much exp that level requires, then it just takes that -the experience you have.

And if you make experience gain triggered, it would be pretty simple to make it count how much exp you have, by adding the exp gained to a variable.

This is not actually related to multiboards, but well... I hope that helps.

CarpsOfficer · Nov 15, 2009

Thx for helping, i thought about doing that and my series of triggers totally failed. But yeah this is'nt realated much to multiboadrs in the first place lol

I'll keep trying though, thx again
