Guest | It seems that all the leaderboards that ppl have created on maps and in tutorials are just leaderboards of how many units a person has killed. The one I require, is a leaderboard that shows the point value given to a player for killing a unit, where each unit has a set Point Value under the Unit Editor where they give X number of points when they get killed by a player. On default all units and buildings give 100 points, where you can edit it to any points you want like 25 or 1000 under the Point Value in the Unit Editor for each unit and building. I've tried to take the basics of all the tutorials and try to convert it into a point valued leaderboard but it doesn't work. Can anyone post a full lengthed, detailed trigger list of how I can get this working? or a link which can show me how to get a point valued leaderboard? This will be used in the MTG map that i'm working on. If anyone is wondering, yes i'm the guy who made MTG4 3nigma. And i've completed the terrain of how my WCIII MTG map will look and play, and i'm working on triggers now. and I need help with this minor probelm i'm having difficulties with. Thx in advance. |

Guest | I don't know how to access the total point value of all killed units for a player, but it might work if you make the UpdateLeaderboard trigger use "Unit - Point-Value of Dying Unit" instead of just "1" for the value it adds to the leaderboard kill score. |

Guest | yea i've tried that before I posted and it didn't work, when it seemed to look right, i've even tried other values and it doesn't seem to work. Man if this was in SC triggering I would have been done the map by now. This stupid leaderboard multiple trigger thing is BS. thx for the words. Can anyone else be of further use/help me out a bit? |

Point value of ( ... ) action does indeed work. For my leaderboard in Missile Command, kills didn't really make sense so I had it do number of units in play/bounty. Since you can't access the bounty field using triggers, I modified all the point value fields to match the bounty and read the point value fields instead. You can find a copy of the map in the Retail Map Downloads section above. Look in the category Leaderboard under the count bounty trigger. |

Guest | Bounties, eh? Is there a way to change them, what are they based on and where can I get a list of them? |

I don't know why bounties fell into disuse in the retail. It is still very useful to let the player know how much gold they are getting for each kill even though it is no longer necessary to use it to calculate kills. You can turn the bounty on using the action: player - turn flag on/off. You can change the bounty values for units in the unit editor. There are 3 fields near the bottom. Note: The bounties may not show up correctly when you use "test map". It works perfectly fine in multiplayer games. |

Guest | I meant the bounties awarded for each unit. I know what they are. Nevermind. I must have been blind not seeing the fields in the unit editor before. |
