Multiboard text overlapping?

Karzama · Dec 23, 2021

I am trying to create unique multiboards for each player of my map that will show how many of each faction or trait type they have, I am trying to make it so rather than it show every single type of faction/trait it will only show what the player actually has. So to do this I have made it so that the rows increase/decrease accordingly - however it has led to some weird text overlaps? I have tried adding to the update trigger to clear and remake the relevant multiboard but that just kept making the game crash instead...

Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?

Why don't you create one big multiboard accordingly?
Not sure i've ever seen multiple multiboards, hmmm.

Karzama · Jan 2, 2022

Unfortunately the data I want on the multiboard would give your opponents an idea of what units you are buying...

On Legion TD the multiboard is half hidden when playing on mastermind (?) - half map hidden. So all the stats for the enemy team are hidden but you can see all of your teams stats, not sure how they did that but that would work fine if I knew how to do it

Pwnica · Jan 3, 2022

I think they have 2 multiboards for both teams

And in the First one they show stats set it to and then they null them when hiding that means you think it’s one multiboard for both but it’s not it’s two showing they Same things only mirrord

Example 2 multiboards one for player 1 and one for player 2

Both have:

Player1 name / icon / gold
Player2 name / icon / gold

Now you show both values for both players...

Multiboard player1
Player1 name / icon / 300 gold
Player2 name / icon / 250 gold

Multiboard player2
Player1 name / icon / 300 gold
Player2 name / icon / 250 gold

Now you hide the value of them

Multiboard player1
Player1 name / icon / 300 gold
Player2 name / icon / - gold

Multiboard player2
Player1 name / icon / - gold
Player2 name / icon / 250 gold

You just need two multiboards created for each team
And the variables holding the data for each team

That means:

GoldMultiboard1[1] = 300
GoldMultiboard1[2] = 250

GoldMultiboard2[1] = 300
GoldMultiboard2[2] = 250

And when you hide them:

GoldMultiboard1[1] = 300
GoldMultiboard1[2] = -

GoldMultiboard2[1] = -
GoldMultiboard2[2] = 250

Ps. Correct me if I’m wrong....

Just to clarify, you have given each player their own unique multiboard which is shown just to them using GetLocalPlayer? I would avoid locally editing the same multiboard for individual players.

If using custom script, I recall multiboard sizes being measured in fraction of the screen. This might cause issues with some resolutions depending how it handles scaling.

It is possible this is caused by some Reforged bug. I have noticed multiboards in some older custom maps having overlap issues which likely did not have them before widescreen support was added.

It is possible this is caused by a scripting logic bug. Without knowing your triggers it is difficult to diagnose.

Karzama · Jan 3, 2022

I hadn't got as far as showing them locally per player as I was just testing it as it is, so in its current state everyone would be shown the multiboard when it has been updated (or rebuilt in my case)

The triggers are in my original post

Dr Super Good · Jan 3, 2022

I recall something similar to this problem long ago. I forget the exact details though.

Try hiding the multiboard before editing it, especially when changing properties like row/column count or column width. After all edits are done, show it again to the player. If that does not work try enabling it again with a delay, such as 0.01 seconds.

Karzama · Jan 3, 2022

Can't seem to get it working at the moment so will have to keep trying things

Thanks for the help so far though!

Dr Super Good · Jan 3, 2022

If you can post a demo map that shows the issue when tested, possibly with just the relevant triggers, I could try poking it to help come up with a solution.

Karzama · Jan 5, 2022

I've attached the map below - I've made a folder with all the triggers that affect the multiboards in any way so you should be able to find them easily

The easiest way to see the problem ingame is to pick the "Rations" modifier as it gives increased food so you can get more factions/traits easier

(or just add whatever you need!)

Thanks for this, my previous method for showing this was just a game message but the list gets too long and gets cut off, so I thought a multiboard would be better and would probably be easier to view anyway!

Dr Super Good · Jan 6, 2022

The problem seems related to resizing (actions changing row or column count) a multiboard multiple times instantaneously (same frame/internal update). There seems to be some unsafe behaviour when this happens resulting in elements of the multiboard that should have been removed being left attached to the multiboard in a way they can no longer be manipulated. This sort of dangling reference bug likely explains the crashes when you try to destroy the multiboard.

I think a sensible solution would be to first determine the total number of rows needed, set the number rows to the number needed in a single action and then fill in all the rows with information. This way the multiboard will only be resized once, as opposed to currently where it is resized for each row.

Karzama · Jan 6, 2022

OK no worries thanks for looking into this! I will have to try your method

Karzama · Jan 6, 2022

Your method works! Had some overlapping issues still but that seems to have been fixed by adding a condition to only update each multiboard while it is showing

Just need to make them show to the relevant player

On a different note, is it possible to have multiple multiboards showing at a time? I tried and it doesn't seem to be the case?

Dr Super Good · Jan 6, 2022

Only 1 multiboard can be shown on any client at a given time. To get around that you might need to use custom UI (feature added as part of the Reforged work).

Karzama · Jan 6, 2022

No worries that's fine was just an idea but it's fine as it is. Thanks again

EDIT: I'm almost there but having trouble setting up the local player stuff (not done it before). I've checked other threads and think I have got it right but am getting an error message when I try to save?

Your else statement has no accompanying if statement. The if statement above it has already been closed by an endif statement so it does not make any sense (else to what?).

Karzama · Jan 6, 2022

Sorry I don't understand??

Dr Super Good · Jan 6, 2022

You are opening a flow control if statement. The block of code that is run when that is true is then specified. You then closing that flow control statement using an endif. Then you are trying to have else actions should the condition not be true, which makes no sense as there is no flow control statement open for the else statement to be associated with.

What you are currently doing...

Code:

if blah then
// ...
endif
else // SYNTAX ERROR: There is no open if statement for this!

What you might be wanting...

Code:

if blah then
// ...
else // When the above condition fails, the below block will run!
// ...
endif

Karzama · Jan 7, 2022

Sorry I've not really done much with custom scripts and coding. So it is an issue to do with the GUI if/then/else condition? Or is it caused by the custom scripts?

I only have the extra "endif" as I thought it was required to be able to show a multiboard to a particular player?

Dr Super Good · Jan 7, 2022

Karzama said:

You have only showed the resulting script. You will need to show the GUI trigger for me to be able to locate and explain the exact cause. In any case it seems like you are terminating the conditional flow control sequence at an inappropriate time.

Karzama said:

It closes a conditional flow control sequence. Specifically it ends an if/elseif/else sequence. This is part of telling the computer what code you want run under specific conditions rather than just executed sequentially like a computer will do otherwise.

The positioning of the endif custom script does not make sense. You do not open up an if statement of your own and GUI automatically places endif to close its own if statements.

OK but I just copied this from a different thread... if I delete the custom script endif then it comes up with a different error about the "then" statement

How do I fix it?

This line is corrupt/incomplete. I am guessing it is meant to be...
Custom script: if udg_localplayer == GetLocalPlayer() then
In which case you need to return the endif statements since you are then opening your own conditional flow control block. The missing if threw me off earlier.

Oh yeah sorry I must have copied it incorrectly from the other thread. I've made that change and it doesn't come up with any errors anymore!

However when I pressed the ability to change the multiboard the game crashed... so something still isn't quite right!

Multiboard text overlapping?
