King of the hill?

Limb_Smasher	ok Im doing this king of the hill kind of thing when a unit enters a region, then a leaderboard displaying their time will increase every second they are in the region... ok this is my problem: 1. once the enters the region it only gets to 1 second and stops there. 2. if it could keep going its will display a time such as "205" seconds... id rather have it like "3:25" thanks

ok well first is the leaderboard thing (it gets ran by another trigger):

creating the leaderboard
Events
Conditions
Actions
Leaderboard - Destroy KillerLeader
Leaderboard - Create a leaderboard for (All players) titled Time In Pond
Set PondLeader = (Last created leaderboard)
Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (If (((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing) then do (Leaderboard - Add (Picked player) to PondLeader with label (Name of (Picked player)) and value 0) else do (Do nothing))
Leaderboard - Sort PondLeader by Value in Descending order
Leaderboard - Show PondLeader
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Set TimeInPond[(Integer A)] = 0)

This trigger makes the time go up:

gaining time
Events
Unit - A unit enters Hill <gen>
Conditions
(Triggering unit) Equal to (Entering unit)
Actions
Wait 1.00 seconds
Set TimeInPond[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (TimeInPond[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)
Leaderboard - Change the value for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) in PondLeader to TimeInPond[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
Leaderboard - Sort PondLeader by Value in Descending order

and there those are the triggers

you will have to do a periodical check of some sort, or a recursive trigger (ignore that if the jargon throws you), i'll leave that up to you unless you need more help, then give a holler

and as for putting it in time form X:XX, you can't do that in the value part of a leaderboard, since you may only put an integer there, you can do it with a multiboard though

Guest	As for the leaderboard time, have a trigger that says if there is 60 seconds remove 60 seconds from whatever variable you use and add 1 minute to another variable. Then on the leaderboard show (vMins):(vSecs). I'm not sure if you would need a multiboard for this.

luckyownz92	For the first trigger "creating the leaderboard" make it A Unit Enters Hill <gen>. Then it will create the leaderboard with the gaining time trigger. Edit : Also at the end of creating the leaderboard do Trigger - Turn on gaining time and make sure gaining time is off in worldedit so when you enter hill the gain time trigger will start the leaderboard.
