Hero Revives with Mutliboards-Leaderboards -Help-

Well, in my Footman Wars map, the Heros instantly start to revive when they die. My formula is really weak right now, but it's 3 * Hero level. That's how long it will take the hero to ressurect.

My issue - I have seen in Enfos' and Tides of Blood games, that they have multiple timers. I didn't even know that anyone else had did them until I accidentaly entered a Tides of Blood game yesterday, it said New Footmen Wars, so I clicked it and walked away.

Anyways, I tried to make a Local Leaderboard, which turned out nicely. I just changed the title to the time I wanted and it worked. Yet, the moment another Hero died, it replaced the new Leaderboard with the old one. So I tried Multiboards, same issue.

How do I do this? It would be a really nice to have this, as it is annoying me. I would like to show the Hero Revive times for everyone, as I know I can just use Local Player and everything. I just converted my trigger to JASS, and I showed the Multiboard/Leaderboard to all players, but used Local Leaderboards and Integer Arrays.

Thanks for any help you might give!

I think it is done with Timer windows, not Leaderboards or multi boards. The Timer for each hero is set by the formula, and the Hero revives via a "Event - Timer Ends"(I think that's what its called)...

Thanks, I'll try that.

:EDIT: OK, well I got it. Is there anyway I can avoid using 13 triggers? I would have to make 1 for each palyer the way I see it.

ummm... well i used a count down timer for my maze map in production... it works so far..

it goes

Event
unit Dies

Condition
Boolean - Unit is Hero Equal To True

Event
Countdown Timer - Create "Count Down" with title "Hero Will Revive In"
Countdown Timer - Start "count down"
wait - the time
hero - Revive dying unit

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

i did something along there, and set the countdown to interger (consanant strings 1+2)...

and it goes show to "player group (triggering player)"

It would probably work easyer if you put the Players in an Array, the Units in an Array, and the Timmers in an array, that way you could just do a loop.

I'm actually doing a local type of Timer Window. I gave you both rep for helping me. Thanks.
