Well. I think what your talking about is just what i want to do. What i want is to have a "Kill Meter" where there is a little box on the upper right hand corner of the sreen that shows how many kills each player has. I think you have to use a leaderboard for this because i saw some other site that said if you want that here is how and it was a link to a bunch of html. If you find out or know how to do this please email me at [email protected].
A multiboard, which you would probably need over a leaderboard because of the "team" subtitles, is basically just a data table with information in the cells.
Using the multiboard triggers, you create a multiboard with the appropriate number of rows and columns, and then insert data into the right cells.
You'll want to keep the data stored in a variable, since you can't get integers back out of a multiboard cell once you've put them in.
I have no idea what you are talking about. How do I use variables and what exactly are they? Could someone PLEASE help me? I really want this to work on my map.
Well you'll never make a leaderboard without variables.
Quick explanation: variables are "variable datas". You can use many type of variables to store data like: units, numbers, texts, leaderboards, dialog buttons and so on.
To Lonely Wolf: You can crate a leaderboard or a multiboard ONLY the following way: make a variable (For exaple: KillLBoard or TeamKills or any name). Set it's type ro multi/leaderboard. Don't bother with the initial value. Then comes the trigger: In case of leaderboard u have to add all players u want into it, and THEN make it visible. In case of multiboards you have to define the number of rows/columns, and fill them with data. THEN make it visible.
Don't forget to update the Kill Leaderboard/Multiboard every time a unit dies:
Events: a unit dies Cond: - Actions: Set the leader/multiboard datas to match the current situation (Use variables - for example: Kills: integer array(12))
Well I still can't figure out how to use the variable for my leaderboard to add 1 to it each time I kill someone. The way I had it was like this:
Event: Time - Elapsed Game Time - 2 Seconds
Action: Create Leaderboard For All Players
Then the other looked like this:
Event: Time - Elapsed Game Time - 1 Second
Action: Add Players To Leaderboard (the one I had made with a variable called "kills") (I added all the players I wanted in it)
Then I had one like this:
Event: A Unit Dies
Action:
Then I tried to figure out how to make a variable to add 1 each time I killed someone but I could not figure out what type of variable I needed. Other than that did I do it right? I hope someone can help me
You'll probably want an integer array variable, indexed by player number. So, if the variable is named "kills",
kills[1] would hold the number of unit kills for player 1 kills[2] would hold the number of unit kills for player 2 etc.
Then, you'll want a trigger that fires when a unit dies, and adds 1 to the integer at the index of the owner of the killing unit. Following that, you simply insert that information in the appropriate cell of your board.
Well I got most of it done but I can't figure out exactly how. This is what I have:
Events: Elapsed Game Time - 2 Seconds
Actions: Create Leaderboard For All Players Titled Kills
And I have this:
Events: Elapsed Game Time - 3 Seconds
Actions: Add Player 1 Red To Last Created Leaderboard With Label Player 1. Add Player 2 Blue To Last Created Leaderboard With Label Player 2.
Then I had this:
Events: A Unit Dies
Actions: What should I do here???
I tested it and it all worked fine exept I don't know how to add the things to it when I kill a unit because there is no event that triggers when a player kills a unit.
Please help!
Oh, by the way you can get my map Goblins Vrs Dwarves and try testing it if you email me at [email protected]
