Domination Map

Ok i want to make a Domination map, for those of you who haven't played Unreal Tournament or know the game type, ill try to explain it.

Ok, lets say there is four Domination points, and 2 teams. each team start out with 0 points, and all the DOM points are Neutral.. then when a player touches the DOM point..or in this case enters the DOM point region.. Then it changes color, and the team points starts counting, then you can leave your DOM point, and its yours until the other team takes it.. the more DOM points you have.. the faster you points count, if you have none.. your points dont count..

Now i want to do this with four teams.. i made the hero selection part.. and the four DOM points.. that change color when different teams enters them.. but i really have problems with the Leaderboard.. i dont even know if its possible to do what i described above.. heeelp ;)

I can make you a multiboard, I have been working with them since TFT first came out. What do you want it to have and do?

Well, its rather tricky, at least i think so. It has to work so that when Player1 enters one of the DOM points, then the red points on leaderboard starts to count. But when a Player2 takes the red spawnpoint (enters the region) the red points stops counting, and the blue starts. And when you hold multiply DOM points, your points count faster.

I think its pretty difficult to do.. and i checked the last mission in the Undead missions to get an idea.. but the Blizzard triggers are pretty confusing :).. well thanks for your help.. i appreciate it :infth:

You could just do a periodic trigger that runs every 3 sec or so that counts how many points a team controls then gives 1 point for each. Functionally identical.

Thats exactly the point, but i can't figure out how to make a trigger like that :P

Anyone knows how i can set up the leaderboard on this one.. and periodic timer.. and how a player can own a region.. etc.

its starting to bug me :)

Event
Every 3 seconds of game time
Action
Set RedDOM = RedDOM + 1
Run trigger "Leaderboard"

for the periodic event thingy. just use redDOM (the variable) as your counting DOM points

Leaderboard

Event : (Elapsed game time is 5 seconds)
Action :
Create leaderboard window
Leaderboard - Change title of 'last created leaderboard' to BLAH
Leaderboard -Add player 1 to "last created leaderboard" with label LABEL and value 0
Leaderboard - Change player value to RedDOM
Leaderboard - Sort 'last created leaderboard' in descending order

I'll try to make it cause I think I have an idea but it would take a while to post my idea, so I will just post the map when I'm done.

Well first, thank you all :P

And second, sorry for being so annoying, but what type should the variable redDOM be ?

Edit: Nevermind, i found out. thank you.

Oh, was it a leaderboard you were doing? I thought you wanted a multiboard(sorry about that :) ), anyway, I don't know if you just went ahead and did the thing yourself or what but I finished my example of how I would do it.

The actual dom point system I used wouldn't work because you can continually enter and exit the region to set your owned dom points up, I could fix it but you already have that part done (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong), so I didn't set up the system for it.

In mine each "dom point" you enter sets your owned dom points up and every 5 seconds you get points equal to "your team points = your team points + # of team owned dom points".

Ah, nice mr.E..

well i created a leaderboard myself.. and so on.. but it lags like hell, cause i used like.. 50 triggers to get the whole thing going for 4 teams, and four DOM points. You would probably laugh if you saw the map :) .. it works like,

E: A Unit enters [Right DOM point]
C: Unit is owned by player 1 equal to true
A: Change color of Unit .. blabla .. the DOM point.
trigger - turn on [red high point]
trigger - turn off [Blue high point]..
and so on...

and that makes.. a hell lots a triggers.. but it works :////

Thank you for your map.. i can definiatly use it..
