Multiple Multiboards?

10-17-2005, 06:13 AM

So... I made a test map and tried showing two multiboards for one player, didn't work. So if a player can only display one multiboard at a time, why is there the gui line "Multiboard - Show/Hide All Multiboards"? Is that to easily display all boards, with each board for a different player?

Are there any special tricks or something that I could use to display two catagories of information (scoreboard and hero inventory)?

Tim.	To my understanding only 1 multiboard, 1 resource table (for left players) and 1 leaderboard can be displayed at a time. You might be able to display the scores in a leaderboard using GetLocalPlayer, and the hero inventory in a multiboard also using GetLocalPlayer.

The GUI function you're talking about is for, I assume, hiding -all- multiboards, including the "Left Player Resources" (Can anyone confirm/rebut this?). Although I don't know any details about your map, I would either:

1. Use a leaderboard for one of them.
2. Combine them into one multiboard.
