[Trigger] Multiboard Deathtimer

[Ziadoma]

Hello,

and friend of mine needed help with a map and I made aworking Multiboard for him with kills/death lasthits.
So I got the idea of a deathtimer (on the mutliboard) and as far as I came it only worked for singleplayer and in multiplayer everthing was wrong. I deleted the trigger so I cant show it to you anymore. But can anyone please help me ? I tried it to do it with a Integer Array so it could be different for any player. MY last idea would be just to make a variable for any player, but I hope you got a better idea.

Thanks

Do you have more than one hero? If not, it should work with using an integer array. recreate your trigger and post it here

It was like this

waits do not work inside a loop

 

[Ziadoma]

it has to be a loop if I want to update it every second or does it not ?

 

[GIMLI_2]

you need a periodic time event instead of a "unit dies" event

 

[Ziadoma]

it is but after that I got a loop to make the number in the multiboard go down ever second

 

[Ziadoma]

But how should that work ?

 

[GIMLI_2]

as i said, waits do not work in loops. you need to split it into 2 triggers. one trigger fires when a unit dies and the other one reduces the count by 1 every second. i can do it if you upload your map

ok but this is not my map and I hope you understand the variables they are on german. The trigger is under leaderboard.

Oh wait sorry the trigger isnt in this version anymore I just got the photo from a old version which I dont own anymore.

waits do not work inside a loop

They do (loop block only, not a functional loop such as ForGroup etc), just it will execute sequentially as one excepts including the waiting between loop iterations.

Many times people actually mean to have 2 separate loop blocks with the wait in-between them.

That said you should be using a periodic trigger as GIMLI_2 suggest. This is because periodic triggers follow game time where as Wait (TriggerSleepAction internally) follow more real time and are quite inaccurate for the purposes of revive systems.

something like that should work, its not perfect, but it should do it. You might need to change some things, because your playable slots are not 1-8 but 1-4 and 7-10, which is weird. I also didnt know where to get the respawn time

@dsg: interesting, didnt know that

 

[Ziadoma]

OK thanks I can work with that.

But it would be nicer to see the trigger not as custom script

Might not be possible as GUI in WC3 is very limited as to the JASS it can produce. Using custom script directly allows one to use the full power of JASS.
