[Trigger] Need help with Multiboard Color Refresh

[KaiserG]

First.. ill explain... On my map i made a multiboard to display to each player with his status (shows % of life and mana)
Well... here it goes: Is there any other way to make a multiboard color to change depending on the % number (i mean... when the % is 100 it will be green, then at 90% will be green yellowish, then at 50 yellow, and at 0 would be RED... progressively...), that without using the large If/Then/Else triggering? if not... could there be any JASS code to make it?

my thanks to you in advance

You should really just use If/Then/Else , it really wouldn't require much work.

Simple mathimatical formulas could do the colour part. Based on the HP percentage it changes the RGB value.

Overall simple but I can not derive a formula as I foget what makes yellow.

 

[KaiserG]

in RGB = 100% R, 100% G, 0% B

dont know how to do the formula by myself

and remember that multiboard item text color is editted in R, G and B percentage values

 

[Dr Super Good]

Not true, the multibaord colour native takes values from 0-255 for every colour, including alpha.

//
native MultiboardSetItemValueColor takes multiboarditem mbi,integer red,integer green,integer blue,integer alpha returns nothing
native MultiboardSetItemsValueColor takes multiboard lb,integer red,integer green,integer blue,integer alpha returns nothing
//

Anyway the formula is (for that native) for the red colour

RMinBJ(255,R2I(510-510*p))

and for the green colour

RMinBJ(255,R2I(510*p))

where p is the real (as in decimal) form of the hitpoint percentage (IE 1.0 = 100%HP and you use the 1.0 for p).

oh... thats kinda difficult for me... i just began using JASS yesterday so im not that good xD
i think ill be using the long but useful If/Then/Else as busterkomo recommended xP

anyway thanks... i could use your code when im more familiar with JASS ^^

[Dr Super Good]

My code gives a smooth colour change as apposed to sudden making it a little more advanced.

 

[KaiserG]

yeah, just what i wanted to do ill keep it so i can implement it later

again, thanks for the help

EDIT: if you want to tell me how to use it exactly... i will appreciate it a lot...
as far as i understand i need a variable for each color... could i use arrays?
I have a multiboard variable called Multiboard (array, size:10), then in the 1st row i have 2 columns saying "Health" and "Energy"... and in the 2nd row there are the percentage values for each... the percentage value variables are called "Status_Health" and "Status_Energy" respectively.. and they are arrays with a size of 10 each (the number of each player)... i finally could use JASS in order to display each Multiboard to each player..

so each Multiboard works like this:

• WindowInit
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 2 columns and 2 rows, titled Status
        • Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to 6.00% of the total screen width
        • Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to 6.00% of the total screen width
        • Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 2 to 6.00% of the total screen width
        • Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 2 to 6.00% of the total screen width
        • Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNStatUp.blp
        • Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNSleep.blp
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Health
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to Energy
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 2 to ((String((Integer(Status_Health[(Integer A)])))) + %)
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 2 to ((String((Integer(Status_Energy[(Integer A)])))) + %)
        • Multiboard - Hide (Last created multiboard)
        • Set Multiboard[(Integer A)] = (Last created multiboard)

as you can see i use Loops...
this is the loops refresh trigger:

• WindowRefresh
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 2 to ((String((Integer(Status_Health[(Integer A)])))) + %)
        • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 2, row 2 to ((String((Integer(Status_Energy[(Integer A)])))) + %)

thanks in advance for your help before

PS: if ure a little lazy to explain me... dont care... ill figure out by myself anyway thanks a lot

 

[KaiserG]

i would love someone to help me in this one, im stuck on this part of my project

anyway... thx to all

If Status_Health is in percent you could use this,

• //Custom script: local real udg_color1 <- Not needed
• //Custom script: local real udg_color2 <- Not needed
• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 2 to ((String((Integer(Status_Health[(Integer A)])))) + %)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • 'IF'-Conditions
        • (Status_Health[(Integer A)]) greater than 50.00
      • 'THEN'-Actions
        • Set color1 = (2 x (100 - Status_Health[(Integer A)]))
        • Set color2 = 100
      • 'ELSE'-Actions
        • Set color2 = (2 x Status_Health[(Integer A)])
        • Set color1 = 100
    • Multiboard - Set the color for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 2 to (color1)%, (color2)%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency

edit: damn GUI, dont use the costume script thought, use two globals instead, will work fine anyway color1 and color2 are real global vars.

edit2: tested it and found out the second formula was wrong its should be (2 x Status_Health[(Integer A)]) instead of (100 - (2 x Status_Health[(Integer A)]))

 

[KaiserG]

thanks! it does really works... just has a problem... every time it gets below 50, the numbers go black, and progressively to solid green

cant find where the problem is... i used this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Status_Health[(Integer A)] Greater than or equal to 50.00
  • Then - Actions
    • Set Multiboard_ColorHealth2[(Integer A)] = 100.00
    • Set Multiboard_ColorHealth1[(Integer A)] = (2.00 x (100.00 - Status_Health[(Integer A)]))
  • Else - Actions
    • Set Multiboard_ColorHealth1[(Integer A)] = 0.00
    • Set Multiboard_ColorHealth2[(Integer A)] = (100.00 - (2.00 x Status_Health[(Integer A)]))
• Multiboard - Set the color for Multiboard[(Integer A)] item in column 1, row 2 to (Multiboard_ColorHealth1[(Integer A)]%, Multiboard_ColorHealth2[(Integer A)]%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency

huh, the current displayed Trigger should work fine as it is. I encounter the black letter bug only when i used locals. Here the If i use atm.

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • 'IF'-Conditions
    • (Percentage life of Hero[((Integer A) - 1)]) greater than 50.00
  • 'THEN'-Actions
    • Set color1 = (2.00 x (100.00 - (Percentage life of Hero[((Integer A) - 1)])))
    • Set color2 = 100.00
  • 'ELSE'-Actions
    • Set color1 = 100.00
    • Set color2 = (1.00 x (2.00 x (Percentage life of Hero[((Integer A) - 1)])))

edit ye use (2.00 x Status_Health[(Integer A)] instead of (100.00 - (2.00 x Status_Health[(Integer A)]) then it should work fine

 

[KaiserG]

yeah! that mat wasnt working properly: "100-(2xVar)"

now it works

thanks for the help! got JUST what i wanted ^^
