Hi

I'm having an issue with Multiboards. My map needs to have 2 different multiboards (if not possible another suggestion?). I have them both made but the one which is made last always replaces the first one. Am I wrong in thinking you could have 2 multiboards?

Pretty sure every player can only have 1 multiboard visually showing at any given time, though maybe you can combine a leaderboard with it to technically have 2? Otherwise hide one and display one with the command/ability to show/hide each other. You'll likely need to know how to use GetLocalPlayer to avoid desync's, not entirely sure.

I think I prefer the idea of having two seperate multiboard's that switch... I think I was thinking of when I had seen multiple timer windows. Thanks for the help :)

example i dont change fast, so can recreate a existing one, like u have a multiboard and need another then reset the cloumn and rows and titles etc to same multiboard this mainly if u dont switch too often, need only 1 variable for multiboard not 2 :)
 
Creating rows and adding them to a multiboard can have problems. You can only increase one row at a time then refresh then increase again. ( small bug with them.)

Having 2 multiboards and switch them by hiding / unhiding is a lot easier.
You can do this several different ways.
have 1 ability to click that will switch the multiboards.
have 1 unit to click that causes the multiboard to switch.
Have a different string entered in chat to show a multiboard.
Have the same string to show one multiboard and hide the other.

Also note that multiboards when using show / hide will show that multiboard to all players. You can use GetLocalPlayer block to allow the player to see the multiboard that they want to see.
