I dont understand any of the multboard. I need a tutorial and can't find one. Please put a tutorial or a link to one here. I tried to make one for a map i'v already done but all i got was a very very small box where it should be with nothing in it. Please help me.

Thanks.

About Multiboards

To create functional multiboards and implement them in your map you will need several variables and triggers. Your main multiboard trigger will set the format of the board and create the needed variables. Additional triggers will update the board when certain conditions are met.

1. Triggers
   • A multiboard trigger to initialize the board
   • Triggers to update the multiboard fields
   
   
2. Variables
   • A multiboard variable
   • Integer variables to support the multiboard

The following multiboard triggers are among those that I am developing for my own forthcoming (single player) map. You can use these as examples to create your own board.

Ew.. Wolverabid, you need to use Integer A functions in that trigger. That would take forever to write. Not to mention it looks gross.

 

[Wolverabid]

Sorry about the mess in that multiboard scheme Tonks, I was going for functionality and stability and so not very concerned about size or looks. Also, since that board is designed for a single player RPG scenario it should be OK even without the integer A function.
