[Rocker742]

Well... I'm currently making a map... and I'm at a point where i realized a needed a Multiboard... But for some reason... When I kill an enemy Hero... it does this on me...

Yes... That thing with the 3rd colum...

can someone help?

Heres my Trigger thingy...

I'm at the point where im ready to scream...

So... Anyone wanna help?

(If you need more screenshots to help... just say so.)

The above trigger doesn't seem to be wrong.

Yea, we are gonna need more screenshots.

 

[Rocker742]

Kk heres... 3 others

heres the 2nd half of the trigger that got compressed

and heres one more just in case

We need all of them that have to do with the multiboard I think. Cause there's nothing wrong with the ones you posted.

 

[Rocker742]

ok.. i'll edit this post in a bit with the images.

Edit: ok here they are.. the rest of the triggers that have anything to do with the multiboard.

• Hero Kills
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • ((Owner of (Killing unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Dying unit))) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
    • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row List[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] to (String(Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))

First i would suggest not to use screenshots, use Trigger Tags and copy your Triggers in.
( http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28955 )

On Second use loops to create the Multiboard, its mutch easier, and explain what the mulitboard is supposed to do. Also you can put the Score Trigger together (Hero Death & Hero Kills)

 

[Rocker742]

I have no clue what you just said but it sounds helpful and I'll try it.

You can create Mulitboards like this

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and 14 rows, titled Whatever
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
    • For each (Integer A) from 2 to 7, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (Integer A) to (Name of (Player((Integer A))))
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row ((Integer A) + 7) to (Name of (Player((Integer A))))
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (Integer A) to (String(0))
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row ((Integer A) + 7) to (String(0))
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (Integer A) to (String(0))
        • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row ((Integer A) + 7) to (String(0))

That will do it for setting up values at the start, well you will have to setup the first row like it was before. Hope you get an idea about loop, they save space and time.

I see...

I'll try it. I'll edit this post with what happens in a bit..

oh I see your problem

In this trigger

You use last created multiboard. This only works if you create the multiborad in the same trigger. You have to make a multiboard variable when you create the multiboard and then set last created multiboard to that. From then on whenever referring to the multiboard, use that variable.

To the merging You can merge those two in one

• Hero Kills
  • Events
  • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • ((Owner of (Killing unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Dying unit))) Equal to True
  • Actions
  • Set Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
  • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row List[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] to (String(Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))

• Hero Kills
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • AND - Multiple
      • ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • ((Owner of (Killing unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Dying unit))) Equal to True
  • Actions
  • Set Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
  • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row List[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + 1 ] to (String(Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))
  • Set Death_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying Unit)))] = (Death_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying Unit)))] + 1)
  • Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row List[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying Unit))) + 1] to (String(Death_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying Unit)))]))

A then ther comes to my mind it isnt the First row you seek for its the 2nd so you have to add + 1 in the multiboard update thing. It could also be that the Playernumber is returning 0 so the whole row will be set to the value.

 

[Rocker742]

I just tried that... and now the funkiness spread to the Deaths row of the board... Hmm.. What could be wrong...?

 

[MagnusCalgar]

This has become to spead out and convoluted for me to try and figure out exactly ( maybe try posting a temp map with just multi board triggers in it )

but i feel like you problem is in how you are handling your List variable
specifically here

• Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row List[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + 1 ] to (String(Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))

like i said i cannot be sure as i cant fully wrap my mind around all this text without seeing it in a map

 

[Rocker742]

Uh... How do I insert a map file into my post?

EDIT:

OH. Nevermind. I found out how.

Here's the a map containing the multiboard.

And Sry if you don't have TFT

 

[valkemiere]

[Rocker742]
