I dont think it is possible with a leader board but here it the code for multi board, of course u'll have to set up the board and change a few things in the code that I have but what I made for you is the basic concept.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to (String((Life of (Triggering unit))))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, I got it to work well enough that I could watch Tichondrius' regeneration on the leaderboard. There are two variables, a leaderboard variable and a real variable. The unit used for this trigger was Tichondrius. The first trigger sets up the leaderboard:

Code:

Trigger001
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Leaderboard - Create a leaderboard for (All players) titled Health
        Set LeaderboardVariable = (Last created leaderboard)
        Set RealVariable = (Life of Tichondrius 0007 <gen>)
        Leaderboard - Add Player 1 (Red) to LeaderboardVariable with label Tichondrius and value (Integer(RealVariable))
        Leaderboard - Show LeaderboardVariable

The second one is the update trigger:

Code:

Update Leaderboard
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set RealVariable = (Life of Tichondrius 0007 <gen>)
        Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 1 (Red) in LeaderboardVariable to (Integer(RealVariable))

I hope this helps!

Aznwhore	question: would that update lag up the game?

05-04-2004, 10:34 PM	#9
Shimrra	It depends. How much do you plan on having going on at the same time? If it does start lagging, you can always have a less accurate, slower update rate, but also have less lag. Unfortunately, there's no 'Unit's Life Changes' event...

Aznwhore	okay, that worked out fine, thx
