So confused with Multiboard

Thunderbuff246 · Apr 5, 2008

In my current Map i'm struggling with a Multiboard

Creating the multiboard is the easy part... But creating the values etc... is where i'm failing.

Info:
There are 4 teams
Every team can spawn up to 100 hero type units
Each unit can level up

What is wrong with this trigger:

Events
Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in Your_Heroes and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Multiboard - Set the icon for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 1 to ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor00.blp
Multiboard - Set the text for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 1 to Player Red:
Multiboard - Set the width for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 1 to 10.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the icon for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 2 to ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor01.blp
Multiboard - Set the text for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 2 to Player Blue:
Multiboard - Set the width for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 2 to 10.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the icon for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 3 to ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor02.blp
Multiboard - Set the text for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 3 to Player Teal:
Multiboard - Set the width for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 3 to 10.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the icon for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 4 to ReplaceableTextures\TeamColor\TeamColor03.blp
Multiboard - Set the text for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 4 to Player Purple:
Multiboard - Set the width for Income_Multiboard item in column 1, row 4 to 10.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the text for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 1 to (String((2 x (Hero level of (Picked unit)))))
Multiboard - Set the icon for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 1 to UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceGold.blp
Multiboard - Set the width for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 1 to 5.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the text for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 2 to (String((2 x (Hero level of (Picked unit)))))
Multiboard - Set the icon for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 2 to UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceGold.blp
Multiboard - Set the width for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 2 to 5.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the text for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 3 to (String((2 x (Hero level of (Picked unit)))))
Multiboard - Set the icon for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 3 to UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceGold.blp
Multiboard - Set the width for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 3 to 5.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the text for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 4 to (String((2 x (Hero level of (Picked unit)))))
Multiboard - Set the icon for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 4 to UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceGold.blp
Multiboard - Set the width for Income_Multiboard item in column 2, row 4 to 5.00% of the total screen width

This is another trigger That sets the picked units:

Multiple Units Income
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
Conditions
((Trained unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
Actions
Unit Group - Add (Trained unit) to Your_Heroes

Problem is... the picked units are all colliding causing the table to either only register the last trained unit... or register it globally so that every trained unit on the map adds to the leader board

I've been stuck on this issue for awhile now, and i'm finally stumped...

Now, I'm guessing my trigger didn't work, then...
I don't think there's a way to add all the hero levels to one variable, but there's probably someone knowing more than me out there, and I sincerely hope they help you out!

BTW: If your problem really is that the multiboard registers all the players hero, replace this trigger:

Multiple Units Income

Events

Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit

Conditions

((Trained unit) is A Hero) Equal to True

Actions

Unit Group - Add (Trained unit) to Your_Heroes

with this:

Multiple Units Income

Events

Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit

Conditions

((Trained unit) is A Hero) Equal to True

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Owner of (Trained unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)

Then - Actions

Unit Group - Add (Trained unit) to P1_Your_Heroes

Else - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

In my opinion it would be better to make a unit group array variable.

xXMephistoXx · Apr 6, 2008

I bet it is, Rui. The problem is, I don't know how those works... :S
Id you could post a trigger for him, I think it would be easier and much simpler.

darkrider · Apr 6, 2008

well... the way arrays work is simple... you use the same variable name and a number between [] to identify the data stored into that variable

for ie: unit[1] could be a footman and unit[2] a grunt...

i would do this:

Actions
for each integer A from 1 to 12
- loop
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
- Conditions
  - (Owner of (Trained unit)) Equal to Player[integerA]
- Then - Actions
  - Unit Group - Add (Trained unit) to Your_Heroes_P[integerA]
- Else - Actions

you will need to store players (player 1, 2, 3, 4, etc) into a variable array (in this case named Player[number of player] so... Player[1] will be player 1 ( i recomend to store the players variable in map initialization)

this loop actions plus variable array does the same as mephisto did in his trigger... but is more efficient

if you need further help just post your doubts

Variable:	Type:
P1_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P2_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P3_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P4_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P5_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P6_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P7_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P8_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P9_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P10_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P11_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
P12_Your_Heroes	[Unit Group]
