Multi board ?

i just downloaded some multiboard trigger from the trigger area but it looks pretty hard...

does the multiboard require to put some file in C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\UI\ directory. if some how and why?
( i use umsWE i heard it doesn't work well with it)

And second What's the difference between a MultiBoard and a Global MultiBoard ?

Why the global one seem to be more difficult to do and need to be carefull about the udg_xxx thing.
"don't use locals with a global multiboard trigger! Instead, your multiboard's name will be udg_Whatever Its Called in variable editor. Example: fire = udg_fire

Last question what is a Locals ?


sorry for all the question i am a noob....

Just dl umswe 4 and the multiboard triggers are in there...

Well to start you off with a few answers.

Globals and Locals are both variables, globals can be used throughout the whole map, IE, you can have the integer variable "Player1cash" set to 150 in one trigger, then another trigger can read it, and it would be the same value.
Locals on the other hand are the complete opposite, you will not be able to read the things you set in 1 variable with it, because that's what local means. It is unique to THAT trigger only. (Jass only) A good example of a local people are normally unaware of, is the loop. The local variable starts off as 0, then for each time it loops, it adds 1 to it, until it reaches the "kill point" where the trigger will no longer fire, because you set a condition "If local var = 5 then stop trigger" well that's english anyways.

I suppose that also answered the question about multiboard and global multiboard, multiboard is local, global is global.

hum....at first read it seems quite hard to figure out exactly what it means. maybe i am a not very clever (cough*)
but after a few time i think i understood what u mean, global is all variable that i usually use and that can be used by any trigger i make, then my board must be always global, if i need to update them, change value or title.
the local is true in only one trigger and only in this trigger, local board i am not quite sure what it could be but well...

thanks a lot to FyreDaug for answering and BoZo for the tips about the UMS4.0...
