Listen to a special audio message from Bill Roper to the Hive Workshop community (Bill is a former Vice President of Blizzard Entertainment, Producer, Designer, Musician, Voice Actor) 🔗Click here to hear his message!
I'm trying to add computer players (I've tried both numbered and neutral) to a multiboard and array, but the name field is always blank, and whenever I try to reference it in the hash it returns null. Can anyone please help me add non-user players to multiboards and hashes.
Set temp_int = 1
Player Group - Add Neutral Hostile to pg2
Player Group - Pick every player in pg2 and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard item in column temp_int, row 1 to (Name of (Picked player))
Hashtable - Save (temp_int) as (Player number of (Picked player)) of 111 in hash
Make sure pg2 is an existing force. Check in the variables editor and make sure that its default value is "Empty force" (or something similar). If you destroyed the force before, then you should create it before you add players to it, e.g.:
Set temp_int = 1
Custom script: set udg_pg2 = CreateForce()
Player Group - Add Neutral Hostile to pg2
Player Group - Pick every player in pg2 and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard item in column temp_int, row 1 to (Name of (Picked player))
Hashtable - Save (temp_int) as (Player number of (Picked player)) of 111 in hash
It works fine for all user controlled players, just not for computer controlled players. Could it be they can't be in the same group? In the multiboard it does leave a space for where the computer player should be but it doesn't put anything there.
The row does exist, so I know that the player is added.
I tried to clean it up a bit and add a few comments.
I know it leaks a lot and it's not written very efficiently but I'll change that once all the glitches are taken out.

Also your triggers are a bit hard to read because of strange indention. You copy all at once? If no: Above the "Events" you can see the name of trigger. --> just right click on the name and copy as text --> paste in TRIGGER tags.
My player colour isn't fixed, so red doesn't always equal player one.
Also my bad with the indentation. I added the comments after I copied the triggers but I've fixed them now.
I have tried changing it to all sorts of things. I know for a fact though, that the computer is in the group pg2.
