Code:

Melee Initialization
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Neutral Hostile Dies
    Conditions
        ((Killing unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        If ((Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) then do (Set Kills_Integer = (Kills_Integer + 1)) else do (Do nothing)
        If (((Killing unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) then do (Floating Text - Create floating text that reads ((String(Kills_Integer)) +  Kills) above (Killing unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency) else do (Do nothing)
        Wait 3.00 seconds
        Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)

I am not 100% sure on this trigger...I know it's "close" to what you want I just can't think of the actual trigger since it's 1:23 in the morning..and I am not sure if I know the exact trigger function anyway >_< and I hope you know how to make variables since it will require that you do so :)

what he says would work like a charm, but the best thing to do would be to not use like 12 If statements for all the players, but just do it like this:

Code:

Set Kills_Integer[Player Number of(Owner of killing unit)] = (Kills_Integer[Player Number of(Owner of killing unit)] + 1)

this way you dont have to make all the ifstatements, and can just call the variabe for each person.

Btw, it is a Integer Array that is used, and the index is the player number of the ownen of the killing unit.

Creating one trigger for each player like player_72985 said would work.

Wiebbe's won't work because:
If hero x kills a unit, his kills will be shown above his head, but if hero z kills a unit (within those 3 secs before hero x's Floating Text will be destroyed) the hero x kills text will be shown forever since hero z's "score text" is the last created.

So either create one trigger for each player, or use local variables.

bananarchy	if there was a generic unit event, when a unit kills another unit, i can see how this could be done on a per hero basis, but there isnt such a generic unit event. do you guys know any work arounds?
