need trigger to find WHO IS WINNER and Ranking

[DexterFstone]

Hi, I'm working on my map and it is done now I need a trigger to find who is the winner

My Map Detail
12 Player, 4 Team, each team have 3 player
10 Round game
I use multiboard

	Kill	Die	Flag
Human team	var Kill(0)	var Die(0)	var Flag(0)
orc team	var Kill(1)	var Die(1)	var Flag(1)
undead team	var Kill(2)	var Die(2)	var Flag(2)
night elf team	var Kill(3)	var Die(3)	var Flag(3)

and another variable I called Win(4)(for each win round score)
now after 10 round playing I need to find who is...
Rank 1: (winner)
Rank 2
Rank 3
Rank 4
by using this formula --> (Win*100) + (Flag*10) + (Kill) - (Die*3) = Team score


NOW NEED TRIGGER TO FIND WHO IS WINNER????

TNX FOR HELP...

This is assuming that you already have all of the wins, kills, deaths, and flags tracked for each team.

First, create a new Integer array called TeamScore and use your formula to calculate and track each team's total score:
TeamScore[0] = Human's total score, TeamScore[1] = Orc's total score, etc.

Then you compare these TeamScore variables to one another and set the Ranks using a Sorting algorithm.
This one is GUI friendly and has a simple to follow example: Merge Sort [GUI Friendly] v1.01

Merge Sort will take your TeamScore values and sort them in a variable array called MSort_Indices.
So MSort_Indices[1] = Rank 1 (Winner), MSort_Indices[2] = Rank 2, etc.

so if I use merge sort, when 2 teams score as same what's happening?

It should still index the tied values in the array. I don't know how it handles that exactly but the result should be a filled out array with higher values always coming before lower values (if using Descending order). Whether a case of a tie means that let's say Orcs are the first in the array before Humans despite having the same score would depend on how the code works, but that's not really important in this case.

It's up to you to check for ties after the sorting is complete. To do so you could do something like this:

Create a boolean array called Tied and an Integer called TieCount.

Then Loop over MSort_Indicies.

For Integer A from 2 to 4 -> If MSort_Indicies[1] Equal to MSort_Indicies[A] then Set Tied[A] = True and Set TieCount = TieCount + 1.

After that you can check for ties.

If TieCount > 0 then do:
For Integer A from 2 to 4 -> check if Tied[A] is Equal to True -> If it is then do whatever you need to do (change text, multiboard, rank position, etc).

I suppose you really only need the first Loop and could get rid of TieCount/Tied. But maybe you want to store the ties for some later use or something.

In your case you could change the Rank text if ties are detected. For example, if Human/Orc/Undead all tied for first you could display it like this:
Rank 1: Human (Tied)
Rank 1: Orc (Tied)
Rank 1: Undead (Tied)
Rank 2: Night Elf

Edit: On second thought, Player Groups would be more useful for storing the Ranks, especially in the case of Ties. With a Player Group you can easily Add players to their proper Rank, so using my above example Human would be added to RankGroup[1], Orc to RankGroup[1], Undead to RankGroup[1], and Night Elf to RankGroup[2]. Then you can take advantage of Pick Every Player and do something like give Victory to each player in RankGroup[1] and Defeat to each player in RankGroup[2-4].

and another problem is if
team 1 and team 2 are the same score team 1 is wins always, how fixes it?

 

[Uncle]

1) Group arrays need to be initialized. You MUST do this inside of the variable editor. So set the Array size to 4 in this case.

2) For ties (when 2+ teams have the same score) you can use that Boolean method I described.

So if Teams[1-3] are Tied with Team[0] then Set their Tied[Team Number] to True.

Then you can check this Tied boolean when Picking Every Player:
If Tied[TeamRank[Integer A]] Equal to True then Victory (Picked player) else Defeat (Picked player).

Alternatively, you could just Add the Tied players to Team[0] (Winning Team) instead of using the Boolean. In the case of your trigger you wouldn't even have to Remove them from their previous Team because they'd be given Victory before Defeat.

it is 4, now fix it, the problem is another think

can u explain by my trigger it is for Merge sort (I'm confused)

 

[Uncle]

Oh and I just realized you're never adding your Players to the Team Player Groups.

 

[DexterFstone]

Oh and I just realized you're never adding your Players to the Team Player Groups.

For the first time, I use set variable to adding player then changed it to add player

 

[Uncle]

Here's what I came up with using Merge Sort. Note that some of these Variables like the Users, Team, and TeamNumber should be set beforehand like during Map Initialization or after teams are decided if you do that ingame. These variables are meant to keep track of the players as a whole and their individual Teams (human, orc, undead, night elf).

• Demo
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Keep track of each team: --------
    • Player Group - Add Player 1 (Red) to Team[1]
    • Player Group - Add Player 2 (Blue) to Team[2]
    • Player Group - Add Player 3 (Teal) to Team[3]
    • Player Group - Add Player 4 (Purple) to Team[4]
    • -------- Keep track of all players that are part of a team: --------
    • Player Group - Add Player 1 (Red) to Users
    • Player Group - Add Player 2 (Blue) to Users
    • Player Group - Add Player 3 (Teal) to Users
    • Player Group - Add Player 4 (Purple) to Users
    • -------- Keep track of each player's Team Number. Index = Player Number and Value = Team Number. So TeamNumber[2] means Blue is an Orc (1 = Human, 2 = Orc, 3 = Undead, 4 = Night Elf) --------
    • Set VariableSet TeamNumber[1] = 1
    • Set VariableSet TeamNumber[2] = 2
    • Set VariableSet TeamNumber[3] = 3
    • Set VariableSet TeamNumber[4] = 4
    • -------- Keep track of each team's total score ( you would use your formula here for kills/deaths/flags ) --------
    • Set VariableSet TeamScore[1] = 5
    • Set VariableSet TeamScore[2] = 15
    • Set VariableSet TeamScore[3] = 20
    • Set VariableSet TeamScore[4] = 10
    • -------- The Merge Sort system needs to know these Team Scores. It uses a Real variable so in this case let's convert that to an Integer: --------
    • Set VariableSet MSort_Values[1] = (Real(TeamScore[1]))
    • Set VariableSet MSort_Values[2] = (Real(TeamScore[2]))
    • Set VariableSet MSort_Values[3] = (Real(TeamScore[3]))
    • Set VariableSet MSort_Values[4] = (Real(TeamScore[4]))
    • -------- Ascending = Lowest value is first. Descending = Highest value is first. --------
    • Set VariableSet MSort_Ascending = False
    • Set VariableSet MSort_StartIndex = 1
    • Set VariableSet MSort_EndIndex = 4
    • Trigger - Run Merge Sort <gen> (checking conditions)
    • -------- --------
    • -------- Display the sorted values AND add players to their Team Sorted player groups: --------
    • For each (Integer i) from MSort_StartIndex to MSort_EndIndex, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player Group - Pick every player in Users and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set VariableSet pn = (Player number of (Picked player))
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • TeamScore[TeamNumber[pn]] Equal to (Integer(MSort_Values[i]))
                • HasBeenSorted[pn] Equal to False
              • Then - Actions
                • Player Group - Add (Picked player) to TeamSorted[i]
                • Set VariableSet HasBeenSorted[pn] = True
              • Else - Actions
    • -------- --------
    • -------- The players have all been put into the TeamSorted player groups. TeamSorted[1] = 1st place, [2] = second place, [3] = third place, [4] = fourth place --------
    • -------- Example of winning the game for 1st place and losing for everyone else: --------
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Users and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked player) is in TeamSorted[1].) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Game - Victory (Picked player) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
          • Else - Actions
            • Game - Defeat (Picked player) with the message: Defeat!

So this has a problem that might not matter to you. The way it adds players to TeamSorted can be incorrect for teams beyond the 1st.
For example:

• Actions
  • -------- Keep track of each team's total score ( you would use your formula here for kills/deaths/flags ) --------
  • Set VariableSet TeamScore[1] = 20
  • Set VariableSet TeamScore[2] = 10
  • Set VariableSet TeamScore[3] = 20
  • Set VariableSet TeamScore[4] = 10

Player 1 = 20 (tied with p3)
Player 2 = 10 (tied with p4)
Player 3 = 20 (tied with p1)
Player 4 = 10 (tied with p2)

My trigger adds Player 1/3 to TeamSorted[1] which works. But it adds Player 2/4 to TeamSorted[3] instead of TeamSorted[2].

This isn't an issue if you're simply Defeating anyone that's not in TeamSorted[1], but it could be if you wanted to do something different for Teams 2/3/4 like giving the 2nd place team a better reward than the 3rd place team. I'll try and fix this issue and post it here if I can think of a good solution.

Player Group - Pick every player in Users and do (Actions)

• 
  
  
  
  Loop - Actions
  • 
    
    
    
    
    If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • 
      
      
      
      
      
      If - Conditions
      • 
        
        
        
        
        
        
        ((Picked player) is in TeamSorted[1].) Equal to True
    • 
      
      
      
      
      
      Then - Actions
      • 
        
        
        
        
        
        
        Game - Victory (Picked player) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
    •

      • 
        
        
        
        
        
        
        Game - Defeat (Picked player) with the message: Defeat!

I changed to it

• Player Group - Pick every player in Team[TeamRank[(Integer A)]] and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • TeamScore[(Integer A)] Equal to TeamScore[0]
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Victory (Picked player) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
      • Else - Actions
        • Game - Defeat (Picked player) with the message: Defeat!

it is ok?
I think it is work
team 1 score = 1000
team 2 score = 1000
team 3 score = 1000
team 4 score = 100
now return
Rank 1: team 1 (victory)
Rank 2: team 2 (victory)
Rank 3: team 3 (victory)
Rank 4: team 4 (Defeat)
