I try to create Multiboard , but I don't know how to show Multiboard for each player. Can show example for me plz.

This is a quick example.

• Create
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 5 columns and 2 rows, titled Players Info
    • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Players
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Show text and Hide icons
    • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 2 to (Name of Player 1 (Red))
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 2 to Show text and Hide icons
    • Multiboard - Show (Last created multiboard)

 

[Troll-Brain]

You mean display it for the Player X, but not the Player Y ?

You have to use GetLocalPlayer().
However, if you can safely hide/show a multiboard in a local block, you can't handle it in a local block (like create/destroy multiboard items), else it will desync.

Also, you can't display (and maybe create) a multiboard/leaderboard on map init.

phuc.. that isn't helpfull at all. Did you even read the question?

as Troll-Brain said, you need to use GetLocalPlayer() Which means doing something just for one player, but there are a lot of stuff you can't do because it may desync, so, you have to be very carefull. There are several tutorials here in Hive and in the-helper, and Wc3.net you can read to understand how GetLocalPlayer() works, and how can be used to display different data in different multiboards for different players.

 

[ALTELMA]

Ok Thanks for all answers. I understand for create by uses GetLocalPlayer() and anybody can explain or show example for me. Plz

 

[Arhowk]

GetLocalPlayer basically returns the hosts computer meaning if you do something liek

if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(1)

For whoever is player 1, that condition will be true. But since in player 2, the local playe is player 2 not player 1 so the code will only be run for player 1. This is risky tho and can cause desyncs

To do this with the multiboard, before you put Show last created multiboard do Custom Script : if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(# of player you want to show for - 1) (because, in jass, player 0 = red, player 1= blue, etc.)

and than after show last created multiboard

Custom Script : endif

 

[ALTELMA]

OK I get it, thanks you very much

 

[ALTELMA]

Sorry,I'll try it, but It's doesn't work. I can't show multiboard for right owner player. because I don't know about condition to check player from native Native GetLocalPlayer().
Can show example to uses GetLocalPlayer() Condition, plz.

 

[Spartipilo]

For each integer A from 0 to 12 do
If GetLocalPlayer == GetPlayerConvertedId(bj_forLoopAIndex) then
...
endif

(Or something like that).

 

[Teelo]

if (GetLocalPlayer() == ...) then

Instead of [ijass]...[/ijass] use:
For Event - Triggering Player - [ijass]GetTriggerPlayer()[/ijass]
For Owner of Triggering Unit - [ijass]GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())[/ijass]

Tell me the condition you want and I will give you the correct code.

 

[ALTELMA]

My Condition is same Spartipilo's reply. but that It's work? And I wonder when I uses GetLocalPlayer() is dangerous. Example Dangerous to me. PLZ!!

 

[Arhowk]

My Condition is same Spartipilo's reply. but that It's work? And I wonder when I uses GetLocalPlayer() is dangerous. Example Dangerous to me. PLZ!!

What's your home nationality?

Anyway it's simple for triggering player

If getlocalplayer ==gettriggerplayer

For specific player

Player(#)

In a integer a loop

Bj_forloopAindex

Anyway the rule about not what to use in those blockss

Don't do anything with units items or destructibles and do not do anything that includes the words create or destroy.

 

[Teelo]

Create the multiboards beforehand, only put the Show Multiboard part inside the local player part.

 

[ALTELMA]

Sorry for my language.

I have a question about Condition. Now I can creates multiboard for many player, but Should I select event is refer to Triggerplayer()?
This Multiboard will show on the time of game is past 15 second (like DotA).

Tell me Plz. I don't know really.

 

[Arhowk]

If your doing something like a command to show the multiboard, than the condition you would use is if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer()

 

[ALTELMA]

Ok I'll try it. Thanks alot. I wonder GetTriggerPlayer() is refer to Who? when that trigger don't have any event? Can you tell me, Plz.

 

[Spartipilo]

If the event is related to a player (Player - something...) the GetTriggeringPlayer() is the Triggering Player.

 

[ALTELMA]

But my trigger has event name "Time is elapsed". It's related to any Player. Can I uses GetTriggerPlayer()? And I should select any to fix that problem.

Plz tell me more

function Create_MultiBoard takes nothing returns nothing

     local multiboard array mb
     local integer i = 0
     
     loop
        exitwhen i > 11
        set mb[i] = CreateMultiboard()
        call MultiboardSetRowCount(mb[i], 1)
        call MultiboardSetColumnCount(mb[i], 1)
        call MultiboardSetTitleText(mb[i], "MUULTIBOARD : "+GetPlayerName(Player(0)))
        
        if(GetLocalPlayer() == ????)then // This I wonder Can I use any refer target player????
            call MultiboardDisplay(mb[i], true)
        endif
        
        set i = i  + 1
     endloop
     
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Create_MultiBoard takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( t, 0.00 )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function Create_MultiBoard )
    set t = null
endfunction

Or Have you suggestion other way please tell me more ....

 

[Troll-Brain]

Inside the loop :

call MultiboardDisplay(mb[i], Player(i) == GetLocalPlayer())

This way it will be false for all players excepted for Player(i), then the multiboard will be showed only for the Player(i).

But instead of a local array variable, it should be global array variable, else you wouldn't be allowed to handle the multiboards later.

 

[Arhowk]

Player(i) to refer to the loop #.

and why is the multiboard array local? you wont be able to access it once endfunction

 

[ALTELMA]

Inside the loop :

Jass:
call MultiboardDisplay(mb, Player(i) == GetLocalPlayer())

This way it will be false for all players excepted for Player(i), then the multiboard will be showed only for the Player(i).

I 'll try on this, Thanks you.

why is the multiboard array local? you wont be able to access it once

Oh I don't know about it, Ok I will using Global instead.

Thanks for all reply.

 

[phuc1570]

I play with this abit. So it'd be like this, right? but nothing happens in game!?!

scope multiboard initializer MultiBoard
    globals
        multiboard array mb
    endglobals
    private function Create_MultiBoard takes nothing returns nothing
         local integer i=0     
         loop
            exitwhen i>11
            set mb[i]=CreateMultiboard()
            call MultiboardSetRowCount(mb[i],1)
            call MultiboardSetColumnCount(mb[i],1)
            call MultiboardSetTitleText(mb[i],"MULTIBOARD : "+GetPlayerName(Player(0)))        
            if GetLocalPlayer()==GetTriggerPlayer()then
                call MultiboardDisplay(mb[i],Player(i)==GetLocalPlayer())
            endif        
            set i=i+1
         endloop     
    endfunction
    private function MultiBoard takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger t=CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent(t,0.00,false)
        call TriggerAddAction(t,function Create_MultiBoard)
        set t = null
    endfunction
endscope

 

[Troll-Brain]

if GetLocalPlayer()==GetTriggerPlayer()then
    call MultiboardDisplay(mb[i],Player(i)==GetLocalPlayer())
endif

->

call MultiboardDisplay(mb[i],Player(i)==GetLocalPlayer())

GetTriggerPlayer will return null here, also the if is not needed because GetLocalPlayer returns a different player on each pc, and then the boolean expression Player(i)==GetLocalPlayer() is already local (asynchronous).

 

[phuc1570]

Yes, I've thought of no need for if condition and gone ahead in a couple of hours ago testing the script without the if in that loop (see below) but nothing happens.

[Troll-Brain]

It should work, but remember that you can't display several multiboards at the same time (for the same pc), so if one multiboard is already displayed that shouldn't work.

 

[phuc1570]

Here's the clue. It doesn't work. Open & test it yourself.

 

[ALTELMA]

Sorry, I will ask something on vJass. If I want to use it. jassnewgen is Ok? tell me more,plz.

 

[phuc1570]

Use JassNewGenPack5d (JNGP5d) in replace for W3WorldEditor to open it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/65043960/W3Tools/jassnewgenpack5d.zip (JassHelper Updated, using this one is recommendable).

Never use W3WorldEditor, just use the customize WorldEditor in the Pack.

A little help here Troll-Brain, can you open the test map I gave? It doesn't work even the script is fine.

 

[ALTELMA]

replace? Do you mean replace on W3WorldEditor? becauses I uses JassNewGenPack5d,too.
