[HELP] Multiboard Icons

[Striker21]

Well... I'm using a multiboard, there're: Icons, Name and Kills. It works fine, but i just wondering how to change icon when player reach one number of kill (just like modern warfare ranking). Help plz. Do i have to create for each player a trigger? then, each change icon a trigger? (I'm working that way @@)

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Kills[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = (Kills[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] + 1)
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Kills[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))]) Equal to X
    • Then - Actions
      • Multiboard - Set the icon for (Multiboard) item in column 1, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)) + 1) to UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceGold.blp
    • Else - Actions

Well, I guess your second row belongs to Player 1 (Red).
Anyway, change the "row" to the value your multiboard has.

Kills[] is an integer variable, with array ticked.

So, what if I need to change many icon? Set a variable with killing unit ?

Well, that trigger can apply the icon switching with many players at a time, if that's what you're asking.

Nope, I mean i want to change many icon, not just 1 when player reach one higher kill, His icon will be change to one another icon

Well, you can do this:

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Icons[1] = Path1.blp
  • Set Icons[2] = Path2.blp
  • Set Icons[3] = Path3.blp

Icons[] is a String variable, with array.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Kills[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))]) Equal to X
    • Then - Actions
      • Set Kills[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = 0
      • Set Integer[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)) = (Integer[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] + 1)
      • Multiboard - Set the icon for (Multiboard) item in column 1, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)) + 1) to Icons[Integer[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))]]
    • Else - Actions
      • Set Kills[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = (Kills[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] + 1)

There is a possibility that your paths will need two "\" instead of one, e.g. Units\\Druid\\Druid.blp. Check it.

The Multiboard - Set icon... blah blah to Icons[Integer[Player number of Owner of Killing unit, I don't think there's some match with the Icons variables above

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yeah, it does :]

 

[Striker21]

The Integer is "Integer" with array? @@

The Kill Count works until the day killing unit reach that kill. It don't even change the icon

My triggers:

• Set Icon Variables
• Events:
  • Map initialization
• Actions:
  • Set Icons[1] = BTNclass_3.blp
  • Set Icons[2] = BTNclass_4.blp
  • Set Icons[3] = BTNclass_5.blp

And Kill Update:

• Kill Update:
• Actions:
  • If (All Conditions are True)... blah blah
    • If - Conditions
      • Kill[(Player number of Owner of Killing unit)] Equal to 5
    • Then - Actions
      • Set Integer[Player number of Owner of Killing unit = Integer[Player number of Owner of Killing unit)] +1
      • Multiboard - Set the text for Last created multiboard item in column 1 row Player number of Owner of killing unit +1 to Icons ... just like yours
    • Else - Actions
      • Set Kill[Player number of owner of killing unit = Kill[Player number of Owner of killing unit] +1
      • Multiboard - Set the text for Last Created multiboard item in column 3 row Player number of Owner of Killing unit +1 to String(Kill(Player number of Owner of Killing unit)))

Sorry for my lazy

Last created multiboard: When you create the multiboard of yours, store it into a variable and change this last created multiboard with the variable.
Finally, since you want the kills displayed, you use two variables, Kills1[] and Kills2[]. The first one will be displayed and the second will become 0, when it reaches 5:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Kills2[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))]) Equal to 5
    • Then - Actions
      • Set Kills2[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = 0
      • Set Integer[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)) = (Integer[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] + 1)
      • Multiboard - Set the icon for (Multiboard) item in column 1, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)) + 1) to Icons[Integer[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))]]
    • Else - Actions
      • Set Kills1[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = (Kills1[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] + 1)
      • Set Kills2[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = (Kills2[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] + 1)
      • Multiboard - Set the text for (Multiboard) item in column 3, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)) + 1) to String(Kills1[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))])
