Giving gold to player with lowest amount of kills

[GenoHacker]

I have a trigger that gives gold to players at the end of a wave, i am trying to give extra gold to the player with the lowest kills.

I have managed to make it so Player 1 gets extra gold but the method i used to do this would mean i have to create a lot of extra actions that i dont think i need to do, as im guessing their is a better way to do this. My trigger also does not account for when multiple players have the same amount of kills.

Trigger is below

• Gold After Wave
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set GoldAfterWave = (GoldAfterWave + (Random integer number between 20 and 40))
    • Set PlayerGroup[7] = (All allies of Player 1 (Red))
    • Player Group - Pick every player in PlayerGroup[7] and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Add GoldAfterWave to (Picked player) Current gold
    • Game - Display to PlayerGroup[7] the text: (|cff00FF00You have completed a wave and have been given |r + (|cffFDD017 + ((String(GoldAfterWave)) + ( Gold + |r))))
    • For each (Integer A) from 2 to 9, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Kills[1] Less than Kills[(Integer A)]
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Add (GoldAfterWave / 2) to Player 1 (Red) Current gold
            • Game - Display to PlayerGroup[7] the text: ((MultiBoard_Colours[1] + (Name of Player 1 (Red))) + (|r |cff00FF00has been given|r |cffFDD017 + ((String((GoldAfterWave / 2))) + ( Extra Gold + |r |cff00FF00for having the lowest amount of kills.|r))))
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_PlayerGroup[7])

I can't really track what you're doing right now. Here is a basic set of steps/algorithm to find the player with the lowest amount of kills.

1: Initialize a variable for the lowest number of kills found for any player. Set it initially to a very high number (like 1000000)
2: Initialize a variable for the player number of the player with the least amount of kills. Set it initially to -1 or something.
3: Loop through each player.
4: If player's kills are less than lowest kills found:
5: Set the lowest kills found to this player's kills
6: Set the player number found to this player's number

And you're done. You will have found the lowest # of kills and which player that is.

If you want to treat same kills in a fair way, it becomes more complex and I recommend you get the basic functionality first.

Here's some code, I don't promise this works as-is but should show the process:

local integer lowestKills = 1000000
local integer playerNum = -1
local integer i = 0
loop
   exitwhen i >= 12
   if(udg_Kills[i] < lowestKills)then
      set lowestKills = udg_Kills[i]
      set playerNum = i
   endif
   set i = i + 1
endloop

I created your trigger in GUI form and then added to it to give gold to the player with the lowest kills. I tested it with 3 players me and 2 ai, i was getting most kills player 2 was getting some kills and player 3 no kills, trigger worked for 3 waves. i then let player 3 get a kill and the trigger stopped working.

• Set I = (I + 1)

^You should not increase the loop counter here, because it will be increased anyways automatically via the GUI loop in the end. In your case it would be increased twice.

Later, you don't need to use a PlayerGroup-loop, but can directly use Player by Player Number I, I guess.
