[Trigger] Multiboard Help!

[BallGoo]

I'm making a minigame like map based on Star Wars VI's battle of Endor. I'm only using the world editor for like 5-6 months and I never made a multiboard and thats the problem. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH THE MULTIBOARD! I made a multiboard by myself with some tutorials but it doesn't work. It shows the board but the problem is that the kill counter doesn't work. So I need someone who is pro in these things and CAN HELP ME MAKE THE MULTIBOARD COUNTER! It would be really cool if you can help. (if you want I send you the map and we can work together )

ok, I will.

I need to know how many column and raw you need. I can give you instruction step by step if you want to.

Man pls post map here and I will make it for you for sec. xD I haven't seen your post

 

[Starquizer]

Do you know how to create multi-board and customize its number of columns and raws or lets start from the beginning ?

 

[BallGoo]

ok, I will.

Well, thanks

Map

Here's the map you can see what's the problem. If you want fix it and send it to me or just tell me how to do it.

Ok, here is what you must do. We create an integer variable named 'Kills', 'Kill_Count' or 'Death_Count' whatever name you need.

The we need to update this integer when a unit is killed with this event:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Dies

But take care that this event will fire the trigger when any unit dies, so it is important to add condition or make this event

• Events
  • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies

Do you understand so far ?

yes. the action with the change text is the problem and there are 2 types of monsters that counts as a kill in one type. I mean if you kill an ewok you get 1 point to ewok kills. and if you kill a wicket you get a score to ewok kills too

Ok I assume it is a multi-player.

• Kill Counter
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Kills = (Kills + 1)
    • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 2 to (String(Kills))

 

[BallGoo]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!! it works but how to do it for another unit-type? (it is column 4 row 2)

 

[Starquizer]

This is very simple example, but if you need more than 2 types then it is better to use array variable but lets stay on 2 types for now, here:

• Kill Counter
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Ghoul
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Kills_Type_A = (Kills_Type_A + 1)
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 2 to (String(Kills_Type_A))
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Abomination
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Kills_Type_B = (Kills_Type_B + 1)
            • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 4, row 2 to (String(Kills_Type_B))
          • Else - Actions

 

[BallGoo]

okey it works for me but because the trigger sais column 3 row 2 I'm afraid that it only works for player 1, doesn't it?

 

[Starquizer]

Yes, this is for One player only.

Now, you are going to more advanced triggers.

 

[BallGoo]

and now.... how to do it in multiplayer xD?

 

[Starquizer]

We will make the integer variable Kills_Type_A and Kills_Type_B an array variables.

Then we will refer to the multi-board row count using another integer variable corresponding to the owner of the killing unit. That integer variable, lets say i will be the index of the variables Kills_Type_A and Kills_Type_B.

But to set the right values you will need an Initialization trigger.
