[Trigger] Multiboard help

Superclaude · Dec 30, 2008

Following the tutorial I did something like this:

Kills
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 6 (Orange)
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 7 (Green)
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 8 (Pink)
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 10 (Light Blue)
    - Then - Actions
      - Set RedKills = (RedKills + 1.00)
      - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row 1 to (String(RedKills))
    - Else - Actions
      - Do nothing
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 3 (Teal)
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 5 (Yellow)
    - Then - Actions
      - Set BlueKills = (BlueKills + 1.00)
      - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row 3 to (String(BlueKills))
    - Else - Actions
      - Do nothing

But when i try ingame it doesnt work

What isn't working? Isn't the board visible? Or isn't it updating the values?

SanKakU · Dec 30, 2008

i'm not familiar with that method of setting the text.
i'm guessing your problem though is that either your method is flawed, or the fact that you're using a multiboard is bad.
i don't think it's the multiboard but i don't know.
when i added one to a player's current lumber/gold whenever a unit was killed and then make the leaderboard display text according to that lumber or gold count it worked just fine.

anyway, i think you can make your conditions...oh wait nevermind i see your problem!
your conditions should say ANY, not ALL. how is the triggering unit going to be owned by all those players???

but actually, instead of going ahead and doing that, save yourself some trouble and just use one condition, that being owner of killing unit equal to player 1 (red), and then set the red kills in your board. then do the same with the other players.

do it like this?

Kills
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
    - Then - Actions
      - Set RedKills = (RedKills + 1.00)
      - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row 1 to (String(RedKills))
    - Else - Actions
      - Do nothing
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
    - Then - Actions
      - Set BlueKills = (BlueKills + 1.00)
      - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row 3 to (String(BlueKills))
    - Else - Actions
      - Do nothing

oh, actually i just noticed you had blue unit in blue kills section...
my guess is that is for red and blue teams?
if so then ignore the above part and do it like you had it already but change the all conditions to any conditions.

Superclaude · Dec 30, 2008

What doesnt work is when ingame it appears on the multiboard:
(String(RedKills))
(String(BlueKills))
And thats because Red means Red Team im setting like player 1 2 3 4 5 are red teams
and 6 7 8 9 10 are the blue teams

SanKakU · Dec 30, 2008

lol really? i assumed it said that the number was zero...haha
well i can let you look at my map but let me warn you the map is far from finished.
The Flying Fortress (Beta) - Warcraft 3 Maps - EpicWar.com
anyway i think you'd have to do change integer to string (possibly?) to do it your way so ask somehow how to do that? or else just use the method of giving lumber/gold to neutral hostile/extra/passive and victim. you can basically fit in 8 values this way. you could add food too i suppose but the limit i think is going to be 300 for that so it's not smart to do that.

of course there's probably an easier way still to do it than how i did it, but at least my way worked!

the triggers you want to look at are set players, enable kills, and timer sign.
but don't copy everything in that map because that's the map of a newbie.
i'm in the process of releasing a much more refined version of that map.

Your variable Redkills is an integer variable right?

and if so you are using convert integer to string?

it should work.

Superclaude · Dec 30, 2008

Ok thanks

Superclaude · Dec 30, 2008

Oh actually my variable is Real :con:

Just_Spectating · Dec 30, 2008

well change it to integer, and when you change the multiboard use the Convert Integer to String and use your integer variable.

Marcelo Hossomi · Dec 30, 2008

I can't know it right now beacuse I'm only reading the trigger, but in the action that sets the text, did you select Conversion - convert integer to string or did you write (String(Redkills))?

That may sound quite dumb but it might happen xD

EDIT: OMG I'm really to slow to write x.x

Superclaude · Dec 30, 2008

Do you mean like this

Kills
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 3 (Teal)
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 5 (Yellow)
Then - Actions
Set BlueKills = ((Integer((String(BlueKills)))) + 1)
Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 3, row 2 to (String(BlueKills))
Else - Actions

Just_Spectating · Dec 30, 2008

not for setting the variable, but for setting the text.

you have to change your variable type to integer, not make your real into integer.

Superclaude · Dec 30, 2008

Now i understand why it didnt work thanks alot

Superclaude · Dec 30, 2008

If you want to have +1 for each kill, I think this trigger won't work, because you made all of them into if condition, so you need to kill all instantly, this is my result how I would solve it (not tested)

Kills
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - Or - Any (Conditions) are true
        
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 6 (Orange)
        
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 7 (Green)
        
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 8 (Pink)
        
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)
        
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 10 (Light Blue)
  - Then - Actions
    - Set RedKills = (RedKills + 1)
    - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row 2 to (String(RedKills))
    - Else - Actions
      - Do nothing

I have one question to you. Do you want that red get kills even if he is not the "killer"?

Superclaude · Jan 3, 2009

Yes because its a red team after all.

SanKakU · Jan 3, 2009

yeah i already told him that but he hasn't noticed yet i guess

i told him his problem is that he won't get past 0 kills and why is because he's using all conditions for multiple players instead of any conditions

apparently he had another problem in addition to that and that's why he skipped what i said because he assumed i didn't know what i was talking about since it didn't fix what he was stumped on earlier.

Rayk · Jan 13, 2009

Have you tested yet? If there are any more problems, let us know.

Superclaude · Jan 14, 2009

Yeah it works fine thanks.
Btw i found out that the variable with real also works. it doesnt have to be integer.
