How to make a Kill Leaderboard

[compassion]

Dear Hive Work Shop,

I was just wondering how I might be able to make a kill leaderboard for my map?

Thank you very much

Here's the very basics of it in two triggers

• Init
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds // Whatever event you want here
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Create a leaderboard for (All players) titled Kills
    • Set VariableSet MyLeaderboard = (Last created leaderboard)
    • -------- ---------------- --------
    • Leaderboard - Add Player 1 (Red) to MyLeaderboard with label Player 1 and value PlayerKills[1]
    • Leaderboard - Add Player 2 (Blue) to MyLeaderboard with label Player 2 and value PlayerKills[2]
    • (add as many players as you need following the same logic)
    • -------- ---------------- --------
    • Leaderboard - Show MyLeaderboard

• Kills
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet PlayerKills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (PlayerKills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
    • Leaderboard - Change the label for (Owner of (Killing unit)) in MyLeaderboard to (String(PlayerKills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))

PlayerKills is an integer variable to keep track of kills, and with an array so that you can assign each player to a number (1 is red, 2 is blue etc). Then you increase the value for said player and reflect it on the leaderboard

You'd probably want to add some conditions to the kills trigger (right now it would count everything, including killing your own stuff)

Thank you, this looks great.
I was trying to build this trigger myself, but I kept messing up the more complicated part. Could you put this in a test map for me to copy over?

Can you show what you have already? Just leave the complicated parts in their basic form.

Here's how you can post a trigger on Hive:

How To Post Your Trigger

TopHow To Post Your Triggers I've seen many and many members around the site who need help with their triggers but don't know how to post their triggers in a thread, especially the newcomers. Posting your triggers in a thread is a very important matter when you're asking for a help from other...

Remember, everything in the Trigger Editor is categorized and sorted alphabetically. You also have the Search For Text option to find the exact Action you need (it can be picky so refine your search).

With this trigger you're dealing with:
Set Variable action
Leaderboard category (everything leaderboard related is in here)
Event Response functions -> (Player number of player), (Owner of unit), (Killing unit)

Edit: Looks like Chaosium was nice enough to upload it. Disregard this if you'd like but I still think it's good idea to learn how to do this the hard way so you won't struggle in the future.

Welp I had deleted it so I remade it and changed stuff a bit

I suppose it's the "owner of killing unit" etc that caused trouble so I stored it in a variable, should be easier to read
