You are thinking of a leaderboard...-_-;

 

[Lonely Wolf.]

Oh?
I thought it was a multiboard, since i wanted the "Teams"

OK. Well...Can you guy's help anyway?

 

[PEONMASTER]

Well.
I think what your talking about is just what i want to do. What i want is to have a "Kill Meter" where there is a little box on the upper right hand corner of the sreen that shows how many kills each player has. I think you have to use a leaderboard for this because i saw some other site that said if you want that here is how and it was a link to a bunch of html. If you find out or know how to do this please email me at [email protected].

A multiboard, which you would probably need over a leaderboard because of the "team" subtitles, is basically just a data table with information in the cells.

Using the multiboard triggers, you create a multiboard with the appropriate number of rows and columns, and then insert data into the right cells.

You'll want to keep the data stored in a variable, since you can't get integers back out of a multiboard cell once you've put them in.

I have no idea what you are talking about. How do I use variables and what exactly are they? Could someone PLEASE help me? I really want this to work on my map.

Thanks,

Well you'll never make a leaderboard without variables.

Quick explanation: variables are "variable datas". You can use many type of variables to store data like: units, numbers, texts, leaderboards, dialog buttons and so on.

To Lonely Wolf:
You can crate a leaderboard or a multiboard ONLY the following way: make a variable (For exaple: KillLBoard or TeamKills or any name). Set it's type ro multi/leaderboard. Don't bother with the initial value.
Then comes the trigger:
In case of leaderboard u have to add all players u want into it, and THEN make it visible.
In case of multiboards you have to define the number of rows/columns, and fill them with data.
THEN make it visible.

Don't forget to update the Kill Leaderboard/Multiboard every time a unit dies:

Events: a unit dies
Cond: -
Actions:
Set the leader/multiboard datas to match the current situation (Use variables - for example: Kills: integer array(12))

Well I still can't figure out how to use the variable for my leaderboard to add 1 to it each time I kill someone. The way I had it was like this:

Event: Time - Elapsed Game Time - 2 Seconds

Action: Create Leaderboard For All Players

Then the other looked like this:

Event: Time - Elapsed Game Time - 1 Second

Action: Add Players To Leaderboard (the one I had made with a variable called "kills") (I added all the players I wanted in it)

Then I had one like this:

Event: A Unit Dies

Action:

Then I tried to figure out how to make a variable to add 1 each time I killed someone but I could not figure out what type of variable I needed. Other than that did I do it right? I hope someone can help me

You'll probably want an integer array variable, indexed by player number. So, if the variable is named "kills",

kills[1] would hold the number of unit kills for player 1
kills[2] would hold the number of unit kills for player 2
etc.

Then, you'll want a trigger that fires when a unit dies, and adds 1 to the integer at the index of the owner of the killing unit.
Following that, you simply insert that information in the appropriate cell of your board.

Thx for the help guy's The board works fine, but i don't know how to add the "TEAM #". I'll trye with the neutral players

 

[PEONMASTER]

Well I got most of it done but I can't figure out exactly how. This is what I have:

Events: Elapsed Game Time - 2 Seconds

Actions: Create Leaderboard For All Players Titled Kills

And I have this:

Events: Elapsed Game Time - 3 Seconds

Actions: Add Player 1 Red To Last Created Leaderboard With Label Player 1. Add Player 2 Blue To Last Created Leaderboard With Label Player 2.

Then I had this:

Events: A Unit Dies

Actions: What should I do here???

I tested it and it all worked fine exept I don't know how to add the things to it when I kill a unit because there is no event that triggers when a player kills a unit.

Please help!

Oh, by the way you can get my map Goblins Vrs Dwarves and try testing it if you email me at [email protected]
