What this is supposed to do is create a multiboard for each player, and then continuosly update its stats with the stats of the player (playermarine is a Unit array)

I know playermarine is set to the unit because I've used it in other triggers which work. Its set to player number owner. The multiboard appears, but all the stats (Health, "Battery" or mana) remain 0.0

Why is it not workingz?

Next time you post in the wrong forum, it'll go directly to the Recycle Bin.

I've moved them into the loop to no avail. They still dont work.

Bane · Sep 10, 2008

The actions arnt acually in the loop, they're outside of it.

Steel_Stallion · Sep 10, 2008

Ya I fixed that, they are inside the loop now. It still doesnt work.

Bane · Sep 11, 2008

Wierd, sorry i couldnt help; i tried.

You destroy the trigger inside the loop.
Also, what's the point of the wait?
And last but not least, your actions in the second trigger are outside the loop.

Steel_Stallion · Sep 11, 2008

1. Ok, I guess ill move it. But the Multiboard is created and thats what the trigger does so obviously that isnt the problem.

2. I dunno, Ill take it off.

3. I already mentioned that I moved those into the loop. Those actions are now inside the loop but it hasnt changed anything.

Custom script: if( GetLocalPlayer() == ConvertedPlayer(bj_forLoopAIndex) ) then
There's your problem.
JASS player numbers are 1 less than GUI player numbers. Thus, Player 1 (Red) is actually Player Number 0, blue is 1, teal is 2, etc.
When you have a loop running from 1-10, it will only hit from Blue to Dark Green. If you want it to hit red through light blue, loop it from 0-9.

ConvertedPlayer adds +1. For some reason, some people like using lame BJs and too much array space, rather than properly starting from 0... blah.

Need_O2 · Sep 12, 2008

but thats not the problem
he should use ConvertedPlayer() as he does

Steel_Stallion · Sep 12, 2008

Again guys, the multiboard appears for the player its there. It just wont update.

I tried changing it, didnt help.

b_a_d · Sep 12, 2008

Hey i have had this same problem before and what i did to fix it was i had to show the text on the multi board. It looks like your not showing the text so its updating it so it seems like its not. so just add show text for each line

Steel_Stallion · Sep 12, 2008

I've updated the trigger to this

Multiboard
- Events
  - Time - Elapsed game time is 6.00 seconds
- Conditions
- Actions
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 1 columns and 3 rows, titled |c00FF8000Status|r
      - Set Multiboard[(Integer A)] = (Last created multiboard)
      - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 1 to (|c00FEBA0EHealth:|r + ( + (String((Life of Playermarine[(Integer A)])))))
      - Multiboard - Set the display style for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 1 to Show text and Show icons
      - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 2 to (|c00FEBA0EBattery:|r + ( + (String((Mana of Playermarine[(Integer A)])))))
      - Multiboard - Set the display style for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 2 to Show text and Show icons
      - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 3 to (|c00FEBA0EFear:|r + ( + (String((Real(((Owner of Playermarine[(Integer A)]) Current gold)))))))
      - Multiboard - Set the display style for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 3 to Show text and Show icons
      - Multiboard - Set the icon for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 1 to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNSkillz.tga
      - Multiboard - Set the icon for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 2 to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNLament.blp
      - Multiboard - Set the icon for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 3 to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAuraOfDarkness.blp
      - Multiboard - Set the width for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 0, row 0 to 10.00% of the total screen width
      - Multiboard - Minimize Multiboard[(Integer A)]
      - Multiboard - Maximize Multiboard[(Integer A)]
      - Custom script: if( GetLocalPlayer() == ConvertedPlayer(bj_forLoopAIndex) ) then
      - Multiboard - Show Multiboard[(Integer A)]
      - Custom script: endif
  - Trigger - Turn on Updating Multiboard <gen>
  - Trigger - Destroy (This trigger)

================

Updating Multiboard
- Events
  - Time - Every 0.30 seconds of game time
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard[1] item in column 1, row 1 to (String((Percentage life of Playermarine[1])))
  - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard[1] item in column 1, row 2 to (String((Percentage mana of Playermarine[1])))
  - Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard[1] item in column 1, row 3 to (String(((Owner of Playermarine[1]) Current gold)))

I changed it to Playermarine [1] temporarly as a test, since thats what player 1 red controls (World editor test).

But still no luck, the multiboard doesnt update.

Oh @ donut and Poot when I changed it to for each integer 0-6 it crashes the game instantly upon the trigger booting.

b_a_d · Sep 12, 2008

are you sure its not the other triggers that are setting those variables. be sure to check those as well

Steel_Stallion · Sep 12, 2008

playermarine is set, I know because I've used it plenty in other triggers which function fine.

This is frustrating, I'm going to upload the map soon and see if someone can tinker it. If no one can figure it out this way.

Or better yet, can someone just show me how to trigger a Multiboard for each player that displays the health and mana of a unit (Set to a var array)?

b_a_d · Sep 12, 2008

you have column 0, row 0, set to 10% width of screen why is that

edit: you dont set the width to any column i dont see how you can see any numbers or text

Steel_Stallion · Sep 12, 2008

Because putting Column 0 Row 0 makes it apply to the entire Multiboard.
