Multiboard Question - will appreciate fast reply

Just a simple question concerning multiboards: I have a multiboard in my game, but I can't find the trigger to add values, i.e. in column one, row one, the title is Red's Kills. I want there to be a 0 there in the beginning of the game, and once red kills a unit, it goes to one, then he kills another, then it goes to two, etc... my problem is simply that I can't find where I can set the value and add or subtract points. Thanks in advance, Dragon_Lord.

O yea, I suggest using an interger for the killz

Oh yea, I suggest using an interger for the killz

Ok, I understand that I should use an integer, but HOW. You didn't give any examples. You gave examples of the things I DIDN'T ask for. Could you please give me an example of a base integer, and then an example of adding/subtracting other integers from it? Thanks, Dragon_Lord[/quote]

this is pretty basic stuff, but

define nKills as an integer variable

KILLS ADD
event: a unit dies
condition: killing unit owned by player 1
actions:
set nKills = nKills + 1
run trigger (update multiboard)

UPDATE MULTIBOARD
event: none
condition: none
actions:
Multiboard - Set the text for (multiboard variable) item in column (whatever), row (whatever2) to (String(nKills))
//Thus changing the text in that spot to the number nKills

of course, this is the most inefficient way possible, i just used it as an example to show you what you should be doing

Quite basic indeed...

well i answered your 2 questions,

Dragon_Lordmy problem is simply that I can't find where I can set the value and add or subtract points. Thanks in advance, Dragon_Lord.

Multiboard - Set the text for (multiboard variable) item in column (whatever), row (whatever2) to (String(integer variable))
is for setting values in a multiboard

Set (variable)
is for adding or subtracting points (to an integer variable)

I KNOW... I got it the first time. I said "simple indeed", as I was agreeing with you.
