[Solved] Leaderboard not updating when kills happen.

[crunx]

• kills
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Player_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = Player_Kills[((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + 1)]
    • Leaderboard - Change the value for (Owner of (Killing unit)) in (Last created leaderboard) to Player_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]
    • Leaderboard - Sort (Last created leaderboard) by Value in Descending order

My trigger doesn't update kills when people gets them, any idea why? It just jumps a bit around with the names, but the value stays at 0 for everyone.

You're adding 1 to the array element, not to the value.

Set Player_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = Player_Kills[((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + 1)]
->
Set Player_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = Player_Kills[((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))))] + 1

How do I make it so it adds to the value? I can't find the action to choose. The one I used for mine is arethmic value, but which is the right one to choose?

What @rulerofiron99 is trying to say it that you performed:

Player_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = Player_Kills[((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + 1)]
->
Player_Kills - array; we retrieve values via [] operator, thus: Player_Kills[0] returns value for Player Red.

What you did is increasing the index by which you get value from an array instead of increasing actual value:
Player_Kills[ < player index here> ] = Player_Kills[ < player index here> + 1 ] -> as you can see, you have assigned value of Player_Kills[ <player index here> + 1 ] to another player "kills".

What you are supposed to do:
Player_Kills[ <player index here> ] = Player_Kills[ <player index here> ] + 1

As you can see with such operation we have increased value stored in array at index <player index here> by 1.

Post #2, difference is paranthesis.

Maybe my second post should've been more in depth, but I already understood what to do from rulerofirons post, but thank you for explaining it more in depth, Bannar, but what I'm having trouble with is actually finding out how I choose that function itself, while I'm under the configuration of the action in trigger editor I can't seem to find it.

What I did was pick Set Variable, choose my variable, and then do the first part etc., and then make it equal to the same, but I can't see what I have to pick to make sure the +1 is outside ofthe paranthesis.

Thanks for all the help so far though!

when you are setting the value (after the '=' equal symbol) use the option "Arithmetic".
Arithmetic makes you chose an input A and input B and mathematic function (+, -, x, /).
As input A select the variable whose value you want to increment, as input B set number 1. As mathematic function use adding '+'.

X = (A o B) (<= the arithmetic option)
A = X
B = 1
o = +
=> X = (X + 1)

Or in your case, you use array X[]
X[] = X[] + 1


Else I have no idea what could be problematic in here.

Hope that makes it a bit more clear.

Thanks a lot, it works now! Not really sure what I did, cause in my first function I picked an arithmetic value too, but whatever : )

You used the arithmetic value inside the array:
"= Variable[player +1]" instead of " = variable[player] + 1"
