How do you create a board with the gold, lumber, and food used\food total with the corresponding icons?

The problem is that the player needs to be a COM that Player 1 can control, like in the Blizzard Frozen Throne Undead campaign where you control Garithos' and Sylvanus' forces.

I'm not too sure about the picture parts but i think that you can just an event that happens every few seconds.

Then make an action that is like Player-Set <Gold Variable> = Player # current gold

THen make another trigger with a board that makes the food variable displayed...

Wel you probably already knew that errr... ya...

The biggest problem was getting all the rows\columns right and getting an event that wasn't periodic, as that usually causes lag...

Hmmm... when i used periodic event it never causes lag for me... Even when i have a 700 Mhtz and 56k.... But oh well.

I tried that, but couldn't find it within Blizzard's many triggers, so I thought it easier to come here... Periodics are also not as accurate... I was thinking of saying every time a Player 2 completes a building, set the variables on the board, but I'm not sure if it'll work...

From what i noticed about blizzard maps sometimes they will explain what they did and other times they hide them....
