But when I test my map on Single Player, the leaderboard appears empty:

YourNameHere · Sep 12, 2009

Do you even initialize JC somewhere?
Also, don't you think this is pretty unfair? I mean Player 1 get's 90 gold more than the rest.

overload119 · Sep 12, 2009

There is a bj_isSinglePlayer that is a boolean. It returns true if it is single player and false if it isn't.

That's should provide what you are looking for, I don't know the exact name of it though, and it's nto available in GUI.

Here is a script you could call using custom script.

function IsSinglePlayer takes nothing returns boolean
return bj_isSinglePlayer
endfunction

Then on your map initializaton trigger, use this

Custom Script( set udg_SinglePlayer = IsSinglePlayer() )

Make sure to create a variable called SinglePlayer as type boolean.

Whats "initialize a variable"?
And the gold is only for testing, u can build 3 buildings, the most expensive costs 24, so if i put 10 gold i wont be able to see if everything is in order... When i finish it ill put it to 10.

@overload, thanks a lot, but would you mind explaning that code? I get the part of

JASS:

function IsSinglePlayer takes nothing returns boolean
return bj_isSinglePlayer
endfunction

But i dont understand this:

JASS:

set udg_SinglePlayer = IsSinglePlayer()

And i like to understand everything in my map =)

overload119 · Sep 12, 2009

Sure no problem.

The function I made earlier returns a boolean, meaning it returns a value that is true/false. The function will let you know whether or not it is in Single Player.

The reason there is a

set udg_SinglePlayer = function()

Is because since you are using GUI, I made it easier for you. You can create a boolean variable (press Crt-X) and call it SinglePlayer. So, essentially you are assigning whether or not it is singleplayer to the variable udg_SinglePlayer which you will then be able ot include in your maps GUI triggers as

Condition - Boolean

If SinglePlayer == True then... do your stuff.

I hope I made it clear, I'll try one last attempt.
The function tells you if it is singleplayer or not. It returns the value of the singleplayer variable (but this variable cannot be accessed in GUI) Therefore, we create our own boolean variable in the variable editor and set it to the value of the singleplayer variable (bj_isSinglePlayer).

When I meant by initialization is that you have ot have ea trigger that runs at the start of your map. The event for that trigger will be Map Initialization, and the action will be:

Custom Script - set udg_SinglePlayer = IsSinglePlayer()
-- This is the part that assigns GUI variable to the single player variable that is otherwise unaccessable.

reason 3 · Sep 12, 2009

Why don't you use something like this one?

If ((Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Leaderboard - Add Player 1 (Red) to LEADERBOARD with label (Name of Player 1 (Red)) and value Kills) else do (Do nothing)

Where LEADERBOARD is a variable of leaderboard type and is equal to last created leaderboard.

Whats "initialize a variable"?

I mean, you have the Variable JC. Each time a player isn't playing, you're substracting it by 1. Then, if it is less than or equal to 0, you destroy the leaderboard.
But, variables have an normal value of 0 if you didn't put anything in the variable editor. Means you have to set the variable to atleast 11 in order to make it work.

Craphter · Sep 13, 2009

Oooohhh... yeaaah... its on 12 at the beggining

reason 3 · Sep 13, 2009

I just gave an idea,but with my way players would be added in leaderboard only if they were playing,and it would be much simpler.Nevermind...

Errr... That is what i did...
If you look the triggers, it adds the player only if the controller is a human, and is playing...
Or did i get you wrong? :eekani:

Diehard@Azeroth · Sep 13, 2009

i suggest you loop through instead of doing all that work xP

reason 3 · Sep 13, 2009

Diehard@Azeroth is right.Creating a loop action for all player and adding the trigger i told you will make this trigger much smaller and easy edit.You could try and update it,if you like.

Craphter · Sep 13, 2009

I'd love to, just dk how to

reason 3 · Sep 13, 2009

Well...instead of just doing every action for every player,use the loop trigger.

Heh,funny

anyway wait i will edit this post and tell you how!
EDIT:You can use this one:

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions

I am sure you will find it...Using this you can set the "action" to take place for the number of players you want as you see above.It doesn't really matter if it is A or B.
