Multiboard help!

06-01-2005, 08:51 AM

Hello all! I hope people would supply some trigger help on this multiboard I wanna create which I totally have trouble figuring out about variables and stuff like that.

I wanna create a multiboard consist of a player's name, kills, deaths and another row which shows the word (DEAD) whenever a player is down. I totally understand colums and rows and stuff like that, but I really don't understand variables and how is it being used. Can someone please explain to me what are they, and actually do a basic multiboard trigger pasted here to show with the rows I have mentioned ? I would really really appreciate it. Thanks =)

Anitarf	There's a nice example of a multiboard that does pretty much everything you asked for in my Era of War map. Go take a look.

Ok, to triggers, one to set it up and the other to add kills/update

Code:

    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and 5 rows, titled Score Board
        Set Multiboard = (Last created multiboard)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column (Integer A), row 1 to Multiboard_Text[(Integer A)]
        For each (Integer A) from 2 to 5, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 1, row (Integer A) to (Name of Player[(Integer A)])
        For each (Integer A) from 2 to 5, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row (Integer A) to 0
                Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 3, row (Integer A) to 0

Code:

    Actions
        Set Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row 2 to (String(Kills[1]))
        Multiboard - Set the text for Multiboard item in column 2, row 3 to (String(Kills[2]))

This condition doesn't really work. Let's say players 1, 2 and 3 are allies. Player 1 kills a unit that belongs to player 2. The trigger creates a player group (which, by the way, causes a memory leak) that has all allies of player 2, meaning players 1 and 3. Then it picks one randomly, let's say it picks player 3. Player 3 is not equal to the killing player (who is player 1), so player 1 is awarded points for a team kill.

Just use the boolean comparison "player is an ally of player" instead.
