This trigger is supposed to create a multiboard for every player but only show 1 specific multiboard to a specific player. For some reason, only Player 1 gets a multiboard. I've tried it many different ways, but haven't managed to make it work.

(I realize there is no event but the trigger is ran through another trigger and the multiboard is created just fine.)

which players are in DL_Force, did you check that?
if you are alone, add some computers to DL_Force and run the trigger again.

  • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 2 columns and 4 rows, titled Hero Picking
The problem is with this one.

- Why?
- Here comes ugly Jass.

JASS:
function CreateMultiboardBJ takes integer cols, integer rows, string title returns multiboard
    set bj_lastCreatedMultiboard = CreateMultiboard()
    call MultiboardSetRowCount(bj_lastCreatedMultiboard, rows)
    call MultiboardSetColumnCount(bj_lastCreatedMultiboard, cols)
    call MultiboardSetTitleText(bj_lastCreatedMultiboard, title)
    call MultiboardDisplay(bj_lastCreatedMultiboard, true)
    return bj_lastCreatedMultiboard
endfunction
- Ok, but where is the problem?
- In this BJ everything is nice and fine except... this: call MultiboardDisplay(bj_lastCreatedMultiboard, true)

- And this why causes me problems?
- Let me explain. You have a loop for two player, on the first time it creates the board, also displays it, then hides for all, in the end displays for Player Red. Everything is fine, Red has multiboard, Blue doesn't.
Now comes the second period for Blue player. Creates a multiboard, displaying for player Blue, and ALSO displays for Red, hides it for both, and displays for Blue. Now Blue has board, Red doesn't. If you went for 3 players Red nor Blue would have a table.

- Ok ok I have read your badly written shit, can you give a solution??
- Yes, there is several solution. But the easiest:
Replace this line of code:

  • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 2 columns and 4 rows, titled Hero Picking
With these:

  • Custom script: set bj_lastCreatedMultiboard = CreateMultiboard( ) // Or use "set udg_Picking_MultiBoard[udg_Player_Number] = CreateMultiboard( )" and you won't need the next line :>
  • Set Picking_MultiBoard[Player_Number] = (Last created multiboard)
  • Multiboard - Change the number of rows for Picking_MultiBoard[Player_Number] to 4
  • Multiboard - Change the number of columns for Picking_MultiBoard[Player_Number] to 2
  • Multiboard - Change the title of Picking_MultiBoard[Player_Number] to Hero Picking
Ok this should solve the problem. If not then I am an asshole who haven't checked it out.

There. Hmm.. It only displays to player red? Strange. However the solution is still can be the same.

Yea I actually saw your reply in another thread and tried it but it still didn't work. Here are 2 things I tried:

              • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                • If - Conditions

                  • Multiboard - Set the text for MB_Board1[(Player number of (Picked player))] item in column 2, row MB_Integer[0] to (FN_PlayerColor[(Integer A)] + ((Name of (Player((Integer A)))) + |r))
                  • Multiboard - Set the display style for MB_Board1[(Player number of (Picked player))] item in column 1, row MB_Integer[0] to Hide text and Show icons

          • Multiboard - Maximize MB_Board1[(Player number of (Picked player))]
          • Custom script: endif
I think the above should have worked, but didn't so I also tried this:

  • MB GP Create 1
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Player Group - Pick every player in DL_Force and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions

          • Multiboard - Change the number of columns for MB_Board1[(Player number of (Picked player))] to 2
          • Multiboard - Change the title of MB_Board1[(Player number of (Picked player))] to (R) The True Death ...
          • Multiboard - Set the display style for MB_Board1[(Player number of (Picked player))] item in column 1, row 0 to Hide text and Hide icons
          • Multiboard - Set the display style for MB_Board1[(Player number of (Picked player))] item in column 2, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
          • Multiboard - Set the width for MB_Board1[(Player number of (Picked player))] item in column 1, row 0 to 1.50% of the total screen width

                • Then - Actions
                  • Set MB_Integer[0] = (MB_Integer[0] + 1)
                  • Hashtable - Save MB_Integer[0] as (500 + (Integer A)) of (Player number of (Picked player)) in (Last created hashtable)

          • Multiboard - Maximize MB_Board1[(Player number of (Picked player))]
          • Custom script: endif
Didn't work either. At first, it just created a tiny multiboard with no columns/rows, then I added "change title/rows/columns" and it did not work anymore.

Ewwwz. Thats just bad. I can't spot any errors. However as I see you are calling one more row than you have. Dunno if its true, and if that would create an error.

My suggestion:
Step 1: Add a Display Text to the end of the script to see if your code crashed or not.
Step 2: If it didn't show up, disable the Integer A loop completely. ( leave text display at the end )
Step 3: If it shows up without the A integer loop, try with changing this:
  • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 2 columns and ((Number of players in DL_Force) + 2) rows, titled (R) The True Death ...
( changed +1 to +2 ). Also enable your loop stuff. If it shows up, it works, if not, it needs further investigations.

EDIT: Just checked, it won't work.
 
do you know that in GUI it starts as 1, so your GetLocalPlayer() is 0 and your picked player is 1?
try this:
  • Custom script: local integer i = 0
  • Custom script: loop
  • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(i) then
  • Custom script: call MultiboardDisplay(udg_MB_Board1(i),true)
  • Custom script: call MultiboardMinimize(udg_MB_Board1(i),false)
  • Custom script: endif
  • Custom script: set i = i+1
  • Custom script: exitwhen i==12
  • Custom script: endloop

Interadasting... I don't know why I didn't try this before... but it didn't worked. I added a text message "convert integer to string (player # of picked player) at the end of the Pick Every Player function, and it only displayed #1. I also added the message "done" at the very end of the trigger, which, however, displayed correctly. I'm uncertain as to why it would only pick player 1, then stop picking every player and resume the trigger.

Still no idea how to fix it as of now :(

edit:

try this:
  • Custom script: local integer i = 0

  • Custom script: call MultiboardDisplay(udg_MB_Board1(i),true)
  • Custom script: call MultiboardMinimize(udg_MB_Board1(i),false)
  • Custom script: endif
  • Custom script: set i = i+1
  • Custom script: exitwhen i==12
  • Custom script: endloop

Not sure why it would matter since I'm not using using a players number but the picked player. But I will try anyway.

I don't know why would this be a problem, since he was using "GetConvertedPlayerId" which uses the 1 based stuff. Anyways I don't really get what have you tried to say.

If it only show for player red, then the problem is not here. Show the trigger where you initialized the DL_Force.

Fixed it by doing 2 things. Although I have no idea why those things fixed it, so if anyone cared to shed some light on it, they'd be very welcome.

1) The trigger was crashing after picking player 1. I fixed it by assigning "(Count Players in DL_Force +1)" to a variable outside the "Pick Players" loop, as setting the MB to have rows equal to the number of Players in DL_Force +1 caused it to crash. No idea why that was. Still, the MBs were not displaying but the trigger was running fine, so I had to...

2) Remove "Hide all multiboards" don't know why this one was a problem, but once I removed it, everything worked & displayed perfectly. (Only applicable to the 1st trg I posted.)
