Multiboard Timer does not work correctly

[folfol322]

Hi, I need little help for Multiboard.

I am create a Multiboard Counter, but it does not work correctly.

1. -----------

• Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set BossDK[1] = 1
    • Set BossDK[2] = 30
    • Set BossDK[3] = 0
    • Set BossDK[4] = 0
    • Set Aktivasyon[1] = False

2. -----------

• BossBOARD 01
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • BossDK[1] Less than 0
        • BossDK[2] Less than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Aktivasyon[1] = False
        • Set BossDK[1] = 0
        • Set BossDK[2] = 0
        • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 4, row 9 to (PlayerColors[(Player number of Player 10 (Light Blue))] + (Seytani Dev + |r geldi!))
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Aktivasyon[1] Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • BossDK[2] Greater than or equal to 10
              • Then - Actions
                • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 4, row 9 to ((String(BossDK[3])) + ((String(BossDK[1])) + ( : + (String(BossDK[2])))))
              • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • BossDK[2] Less than 10
              • Then - Actions
                • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 4, row 9 to ((String(BossDK[3])) + ((String(BossDK[1])) + ( : + ((String(BossDK[4])) + (String(BossDK[2]))))))
              • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • BossDK[2] Greater than or equal to 0
              • Then - Actions
                • Set BossDK[2] = (BossDK[2] - 1)
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • BossDK[2] Less than 0
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Set BossDK[2] = 59
                    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                      • If - Conditions
                        • BossDK[1] Greater than or equal to 0
                      • Then - Actions
                        • Set BossDK[1] = (BossDK[1] - 1)
                      • Else - Actions
                  • Else - Actions
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

When the counter is zero, it continues to count negative numbers.
I did not understand where the problem was.
I'm very happy if you can help me.

(My English is not very good. That's why I use google translate. I am sorry for my mistakes.)

• If - Conditions
  • BossDK[1] Less than 0
  • BossDK[2] Less than 0
• Then - Actions

That condition will never be true, because as soon as BossDK[2] is set to -1, you set it back to 59 right away.

EDIT: Well, I got bored, and I ended up making another version

trigger

• Countdown
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • TimeUp Equal to False
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Seconds Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Seconds = (Seconds - 1)
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Minutes Greater than 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Minutes = (Minutes - 1)
            • Set Seconds = 59
          • Else - Actions
    • -------- Display Values --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Seconds Less than or equal to 0
        • Minutes Less than or equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Set TimeUp = True
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Time UP
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to
      • Else - Actions
        • Set Minutes_STR = (String(Minutes))
        • Set Seconds_STR = (String(Seconds))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Length of Seconds_STR) Equal to 1
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Seconds_STR = (0 + Seconds_STR)
          • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions

          • Else - Actions
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to ((Minutes_STR + :) + Seconds_STR)

Ah, thank you so much but why BossDK[2] -1?

 

[BloodSoul]

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • BossDK[2] Greater than or equal to 0
  • Then - Actions
    • Set BossDK[2] = (BossDK[2] - 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • BossDK[2] Less than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Set BossDK[2] = 59
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • BossDK[1] Greater than or equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Set BossDK[1] = (BossDK[1] - 1)
          • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions
  • Else - Actions

Imagine that BossDK[2]'s value is 0. Then, the periodic timer fires the trigger actions once again. As soon as it gets to the condition mentioned above (BossDK[2] >= 0), BossDK[2] is subtract by 1 - which leaves it with -1. However, the next line checks if BossDK[2] value is less than 0, which in this case is true - so, its value changes back to 59, not allowing the very first condition block to be true.

Jeez, this code is so messy.

What's the goal here, just display a countdown timer on a multiboard?

If you tell us you might get a much cleaner solution.

Ah, thx for help and explanation

I already made one. I'm doing a Campaigne. My goal is to send 3 different types of BOSS to the map and set a separate counter for each one. I want to repeat this counter when every boss is dead and I want to show the task about this boss besides the timer.
I'm not very good at making triggers. I'm trying to improve myself. There was a forum in my language that explained them, but it closed. For this reason, I sometimes experience problems.
