Multiboard help please!

[Enkei]

Hey everyone, thanks for reading. I've got a tough question regarding multiboards. On my map, there are two teams we'll call "East side" and "West side". I want the multiboard to look similar to this.


Enkei TD!
West Side
(player 1's name)
(player 2's name)
(player 3's name)
East Side
(Player 4's name)
(Player 5's name)
(Player 6's name)
Hightest income: (Player's name)

The players would have varying row numbers, but the foundations, "West Side, East Side and Highest income" would always be there. The reason I cannot assign a specific number row to each piece of data, is because.. What if there are only 2 players per team? Then there would be a multiboard that looks like this

West Side
Player1
Player2
<Missing data>
East Side

etc etc. I'd like the rows to be "flexible" if you may.. I want them to form based on how many players are currently playing. But I'm not sure how to do that. Any ideas?

Not entirely sure I fully understand you.

First, try this: Multiboard Tutorial.

Then, come back here and try describe what the problem is, maybe with pictures - Good luck.

Yeh when you create the multiboard you make a loop that only goes through and adds a row for the number of times equal to how many players are in the game. You do that for each team.

If soemone leaves, you have a choice of either remaking the multiboard or you can change the players name to 'left' or something.

In pseudo code it would look like:

Create multiboard
set i = 0
loop
exitwhen i = CountPlayersInForce(CreateForce(GetPlayersInTeam1)) - 1
i = i + 1
Add Row to Multiboard
endloop

I can't remember the exact details for making a multiboard but a loop is what you need to use and then refer to i as the row location or whatever, exit when i = number of players.

If you are doing it in JASS then the max has to have -1 because Player1 is Player(0).
