Arena Help

[Searingsoul]

hi, im kinda new here, ive been playing with editor and got most of it down, im making a map thats kind of a cross between an AoS and an arena, where it has you pick a hero (tavern based) and then u have a basic AoS map with the basic AoS playstyle and i have a area set aside of an arena and a special event zone, where if u have the most kills u get to participate in the arena (occouring every 8 minutes) where if you win, you get a gold bonus or item bonus. im having problems with the global and local varibles, it took me a while to get the leaderboard down the way i want it (thanks to all you guys who post tutorials for us non expert mappers to reference) but its ready and it works fine, ive tested alot.
my only problem with it though is that i either need it to pick the player with most kills on the leaderboard (im only using one varible for the leaderboard setup fyi) or at random. :? :?:
it would be AWESOME if you guys could either give me some trigger ideas or possible a finished trigger (would LOVE to have that). none of it makes much sense to me, so if u could, better yet tell what i need to do so that i learn!(then i wont have to ask again!)
again, thanks for any replies and im sorry this is so long ><

ok first of all if your going to post all in one colour at least pick a colour that isn't so bright and blends in fairly well with the site template.

Edited.

Well, Don't have the editor in front me now, but I think there is a condition called sumthing like ''(Player) at top in (leaderboard)

Absolutely correct!

check it out:

Obviously replace the do nothings with action for your map.

These are my triggers.
The one that adds the players to the playergroup is the playergroup of contestants.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

would that be used in combination with my trigger?

 

[Ralle]

yours could be used instead of my "who-are-the-number-one-and-two" trigger

 

[GST_Nemisis]

well the reason i asked is because he says every 8 minutes and i dont see any timing reference on yours and also i thought he mean he only wanted the top player, mabey i am confused?

Edit: oh i see now, your trigger adds the two top players into a unit group that would then be acted upon right? sorry i just didnt see the timing thing and i got all confused like.
