Everything besides kill count works fine, and I don't know what's the problem :(

Like whenever I kill something as a player it works, but the numbers get mixed up for reasons unknown to me. For example, I get 1 kill as a red player, it works, but as soon as orange (computer 6) gets the kill, numbers start to mix up for no reason...

Can you show a screenshot of your multiboard in game?
What I believe is the problem:
  • Player 6 orange slot state is not "playing" but "empty" (and controller is "user" by default for empty slots).
  • The on-kill trigger only checks if the killer is "user"-controlled, but does not check if the killer's slot is filled.
  • When that empty "player" kills, its "multiboard_spots" value is 0, so the kill count for that player is shown in every row.
You can add a condition to the on-kill trigger to check that the killing player slot is "playing", in addition to them being user-controlled. Then orange's kills will be ignored.

The number on ''Player Name'' shouldn't exist and whenever orange gets a kill it starts deducting it into my score. After I get the kill, my kill score shows up for a brief moment then once again after orange kills something his score gets up over mine.

EDIT: I added the function which you've advised to do and now it works great, problem solved!

Thanks for the help dude, I appreciate it :)

The command is:

((Owner of (Killing unit)) slot status) Equal to Is playing
