[Trigger] Creating a Scoreboard

[Phire126]

How does one create on of those "scoreboards" for a game to like display kill and stuff (I want mine to display unit counts) I thought they were leader boards but I'm having trouble figuring it out.

They are called 'Multiboards' (yep i thought they were leaderboards aswell).

Word Editor --> Trigger Editor --> Multiboard *Here are the actions*

You should remember that multiboards can't be created at map initialization, have it created after a few seconds or so.

To show you how a simple multiboard is created, i'll paste a trigger here soon:

• Create Multiboard -Example-
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and 14 rows, titled The Multiboard
    • Set TheMultiboard = (Last created multiboard)
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for TheMultiboard item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
    • Multiboard - Set the width for TheMultiboard item in column 0, row 0 to 4.00% of the total screen width
    • Multiboard - Set the width for TheMultiboard item in column 1, row 0 to 10.00% of the total screen width
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 1, row 1 to Player
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 2, row 0 to 0
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 2, row 1 to Kills
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 3, row 0 to 0
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 3, row 1 to Deaths
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 0, row 2 to <Empty String>
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, 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 text for TheMultiboard item in column 1, row (2 + (Integer A)) to (Name of (Player((Integer A))))
          • Else - Actions
            • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 1, row (2 + (Integer A)) to -Not Playing-
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Multiboard - Show TheMultiboard
    • Multiboard - Minimize TheMultiboard

Note: Using 0 as a row/column value affects all rows/columns

Hope it helped, you can take it from here i guess.

Would a leaderboard work if i only want say player 1 to see it?

I dont think so. I cant find a way to show the multiboard to only one player...

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == PlayerToDisplayTheMultiboardTo then
• Multiboard - Display TheMultiboard
• Custom script: endif

Eg: (note: players are 1 less in jass (p0 = red, p1 = blue, etc))

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player( 0 ) then
• Multiboard - Display TheMultiboard
• Custom script: endif

Would display it to only p1
