Revival Timer in Multiboard

[Richardchang]

I've created a multiboard that contains all players of the map. I wanted to make one of the column to show the time left for the player's hero to revive. How do I make the trigger? I had saved a variable with the time needed for the hero to revive.

If you use a countdown timer, convert the timer current time to a string and put in on the board.

If its an integer, then convert integer to string and do the same.

I've tried it, but the multiboard only shows the total time for the revival, not time left for the hero to revive.

I've tried it, but the multiboard only shows the total time for the revival, not time left for the hero to revive.

You have to keep updating the Multiboard just like any other string/real on the board, every countdown but be refreshed as well, also make sure the string is being constantly updated.

You know what... just post the trigger and I'll get back to you lol.

So this is what I did:

Triggers

• Revive Hero
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Dying unit) to RevivableHeroes
    • Set TempReal[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (((Real((Hero level of (Dying unit)))) x 5.00) + 5.00)
    • Countdown Timer - Start ReviveTimers[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in TempReal[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title (Name of (Owner of (Dying unit)))
    • Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window) for (Owner of (Dying unit))
    • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 5, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit))) + 1) to (String((Integer((Remaining time for ReviveTimers[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))])))))
    • Set RevivableTimersWindows[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Last created timer window)

• Leaderboard
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds

        • Set MultiboardLoop = (MultiboardLoop + 1)

I don't have any experience in multiboard

• Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 5, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit))) + 1) to (String((Integer((Remaining time for ReviveTimers[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))])))))

I lost track of your post.

The issue I can clearly see is that you only set the text to the multi board once, when the unit dies, you need to put this into a every X amount of seconds it sets it again, until it hits 0.

It's a very simple problem.

You just need consistently keep setting the text = to the timer so it updates on the multiboard.
