[Trigger] Multiboard Question [Solved]

[Peacehagen]

So I am trying to make a multiboard for each player. I have created 8 different multiboards and then i hide them. After that I use this loop but it doesnt show any multiboard at all. If you want I can post the whole trigger but I dont think there is anything wrong with the creation of the multiboards as they showed up before i tried to add this. I have never used GetLocalPlayer before so I am not familiar with how it works.

• For each (Integer LoopInt) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_LocalPlayer = GetLocalPlayer()
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • LocalPlayer Equal to (Player(LoopInt))
      • Then - Actions
        • Multiboard - Show MB_Player[LoopInt]
      • Else - Actions

EDIT: I can add that this is supposed to happen at map start, for now its on an event time elapsed equal to 0. Maybe GetLocalPlayer requires a player event? How would I then set this up so it happens automatically at map start?

That should work fine assuming that the Event is happening after you've created the Multiboards. But I prefer this method:

• For each (Integer LoopInt) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(udg_LoopInt - 1) then
    • Multiboard - Show MB_Player[LoopInt]
    • Custom script: endif

Mainly because I know for certain that it works, lol.

Anyway, make sure that you've actually set MB_Player[X] to the different Multiboards.

I can't tell you much more without seeing all of your related triggers.

Yeah, the multiboard setup is correct, i use the same 1-8 loop to set it up.

When i changed the show multiboard to a player types chat message event it worked properly though.

Will try your custom script and see how it works though when i tried a different custom if/then/else script i got an error saying unexpected "else". But will see how this one works when i get home

Edit: I see you added a LoopInt -1 in the array which might solve the problem i guess player numbers are 0-7 instead of 1-8?

Thanks for the reply!

They're only indexed starting at 0 if you call the Player() function. The trigger editor's version of Player(#) starts at 1 like you'd expect.

I can't see your full trigger so I can't really help much more.

Oh ok, I can post full triggers when i get home after work

EDIT: I copied your suggestion and it worked thanks alot for the help!
