Kill Count Scoreboard With Usable Points

[Gumberbunbder]

I am making my version of Age of Mythology (AOM) for WC3. In AOM there is a resource called favor. You get favor by several means, but I am only concerned with attaining it through killing enemy units. Favor is used to train myth units which are powerful units. Since WC3 only has lumber and wood I would like to add this third resource if I could.

I want to make a scoreboard that records player kills and I want this kill score to be used to purchase myth units. For example: a Minotaur costs 10 favor to train. I kill 10 enemy units. Each kill adds to my kill count on the scoreboard. When I have 10 points, I train the Minotaur and spend all 10 points.

If this is possible please let me know. Thank you!!!

You forgot the third resource WC3 has and that's food.

Though yeah this is possible, easy in fact.

You could also base them off spells, that cost mana which you increase everytime you get a kill.

I have a system that records killed units. It allows for easy multiboard capability. Also it allows kill streaks. When unit kills number of units in certain time he gains something.
It should be in my sig. If not go to my resources and you can easily find it.

This is a really cool system Deathismyfriend, but its not exactly what i need for my map. I just want a system that counts kills and i want the kill count to be used like a resource. I could do the mana system like LordDz said but the issue with that is that myth units are trained at a structure and if you have multiple structures than you will be able to produce more myth units than if you had one. This is because a kill would give mana to all of the Temples (the myth unit training structure) that a player owns, so the more the better. Can anyone provide me with such a system? I am not particularly good with triggers which is why i am asking. I am just decent.

So you would know how to make a system like the one I'm describing? That would be awesome if you could just outline how it works for me.

All you need is an integer array. Some temp variables. And one trigger for this then. (to count kills)

For the trigger use the general event player unit dies.
For the actions do this.

Set tempPlayerId = Number of Triggering player.
Set KillCounter[ tempPlayerId] = (KillCounter[ tempPlayerId] + 1)
// The above will count kills for every player.

To use them in a multiboard use the array
So KillCounter[ 1] is player 1 red.
KillCounter[ 2] is player 2 blue. And so on.

Also please do not double post it is against the rules.
