Trigger Challenge of the Day-Week!

Well, the Trigger Haven hasn't exactly been active lately, so I decided to liven it up a little bit.

So here is how this will work. I will give the forumers a challenge to do. Whoever does it the best and cleanest, wins. I am too lazy to do terrain, so I expect the same from you. In other words, terrain is NOT going to affect your score. In a few days, I'll pick the winner and they will get some rep points. [That's all I can really do right now...]

if you have a .rar extractor, you can put a password on the file and post it here and IM, PM, or E-mail me the password. Otherwise, just send the map.

Selection Multiboard

As the first challenge, it will revovle around using Multiboards. This is how it works.

Create a multiboard that when you select a unit, it displays the following:

• HP
• Mana
• Level
• Kills the unit has gotten
• Current order of unit

If you select more than one unit, it will still work. It will just add that new unit to the list. Here are the Bonuses to the challenge

• Showing the Icons of the Units/Heroes
• When one unit is selected, show more specific stats... like average damage. And... Preferred spell.
• If the Multiboard displays the units in the same order as you have them selected
• XP to next level N/A if its a unit

All together, it adds up to be 100 points. Here is the critera...

Smoothness 25 - How well it runs

Mutliplayer Compatible 5 - Can more than one player use it? I hate this stuff, but I gotta put it in here.

Visual Effects 20 - How well the item looks

Trigger Comprehension/Effectiveness 20 - I should be able to read your triggering nicely... Are the triggers complex? Using loops etc, does it memory leak?

Use of JASS - No affect on your score what-so-ever

Over all feel 30 - Just, does it feel nice to have around?

Things I will be doing


-=- I will be deleting all pre-placed units and adding my own. This is to prevent any pre-placed unit effects.

-=- Mass clicking to see how fast your Mutliboard reacts

-=- Increading REGEN rate of the units to see how well your multiboard times in and out


Try to add things that will make it a bit more friendly. ANything you can make that will make it more creative, will boost points. I will annouce the winners sometime in the near future. There is no deadline at the moment. The quicker, the better.

Good luck to everyone!

Just wondering, how would you do that?

I don'y know exactly, I'll write up a post about it. I'll go find out.

Here's a visual walkthrough... Cuz I'm bored.

heh, never tried that

This is a good challenge with a few minor flaws. Prepare to be critiqued...

this should really be a bonus because there is no direct GUI function for next XP level.

Good luck getting idle...

I applaud anyone who manages to get a working function for this. (I mean, consistantly working)

Sorry, I just had to quote this.

I dont even know if this is possible, unless there is a function that sorts units by strength, or something.

Well, I'm spent. Have fun anyone who try's this, actually, who is trying this (other than me)?

Well, the XP thing ould be a bonus... but there isnt much point. It adds to the effect. [I'll make it a bonus]

Alot of thats bullshittedly hard. Theres no way to get the icon of a unit so its a huge pain in the butt.

You're right. Which is why it's a Bonus...

Ok, I finally finished this little beastie, with a few bugs along the way. I guess I fell out of trigger practice. I should do lil excercises like this every now and then to say in shape.

Anyway, I'll tell the password when everything is judged. It has a few neat features but other than that its your standard selection multiboard.

Edit: Err, whoops, wrong password o.o . Fixed.

Here is my one.

heres mine. cant wait to see everyone elses, they prolly figured out the exp thing. I may use this in my map :> and one more side note: I HATE BLIZZARD.J FUNCTIONS! ARG!
