Multiboard question..

I am pretty new to multiboard triggers and I am wondering how to create text in the multiboard. So far all I've tried doesn't seem to work.

Could someone please explain the meaning of all the multiboard triggers so I can learn this...

I'd be interested to know that as well, as I have found them rather difficult to work with.

in jass its
Code:
call MultiboardSetItemStyleBJ ( {multiboard var}, {item x position}, {item y position}, true, false)
call MultiboardSetItemValueBJ ( {multiboard var}, {item x position}, {item y position}, "{text}")
in GUI its about the same, set the style to have text and not icon, then set the value. im gonna go check up on some of those false, true things tho... brb

edit: ok function had some errors and more description, the first line makes it so that specific area of the multiboard is allowed to show text and not an icon. if you want it to show an icon as well, change the false to true. {multiboard var} is the variable your multiboard is using. if your going to use my jass layout put in udg_{your variable}. as for {item x,y position}, if you know anything about multiboard you should know its where the item is located. for jass 0,0 would be the top left, 0,1 would be 1 to right of top left and 1,0 would be 1 below the top left. that was really confusing... sorry ://// i can make a gui one for you if you want.

edit2: URG!! i havent done jass in a while, had to fix more stuff :////

Hmm... Thanks for the answer... It helped a bit... I have another question. How do to create text over several columns? For some reason I can't get the text in my multiboard to show... I have done the "Show the Value and Hide the Icon" triggers. And I think that the problem is that the text goes over several columns and then crashes and doesn't show. But I don't know.

Make sure its not firing on map initialization. Try .01 seconds
