trigger help please

Im trying to make a leader board that shows lives. You start with 3 and lose when you run out. I can get the board to show up but I can't figure out how to make it subtract from it when you die.
Any suggestions? thanks in advance.

a leaderboard is designed to show only kills, to do what you need, you're gonna have to make a multiboard.
To learn how to set up a multiboard, i suggest you start looking for a tutorial, i'm sure there's one out there.
If you need help making one, you can also pm me, and i'll see what i can do for you.

That's wrong, i use them to show both lives and level in my TD! Just update your leaderboard to your life variable whenever you loose a life.

Hi

forget what the other guy said, its easy to do what you want with a leaderboard.

First, set the leaderboard up.

Then you need a trigger which goes (something) like this:

Event:
A unit dies

Conditions:
--whatever you want, probably this;
Dying unit is a Hero equal to True
Owner of Dying unit equal to User

Actions:
Set Lives[Player number of (owner of (Dying unit))]=Lives[Player number of (owner of (Dying unit)) -1]
Leaderboard - set value for (owner of (Dying Unit)) in (last created leaderboard) to Lives[Player number of (owner of (Dying unit))


and that should do it
Hope that helps

oh, alright, sorry then, i've been told otherwise.

i had my trigger set up exactly the way you say bort minus the owner of dying unit = user but i can't find where that is to put it in.

errrrr.... no. That is to check that the owner ISN'T neutral/enemy or someone who is already dead. The condition is just mixed up in your case

Event:
A unit dies

Conditions:
--whatever you want, probably this;
Dying unit is a Hero equal to True
Owner of Dying unit not equal to neutral

Actions:
Set Lives[Player number of (owner of (Dying unit))]=Lives[Player number of (owner of (Dying unit)) -1]
Leaderboard - set value for (owner of (Dying Unit)) in (last created leaderboard) to Lives[Player number of (owner of (Dying unit))

well it works now i just had somthing screwed up in the variables thanks for help guys.

hi again

I didnt have WE running when i made that (dont now either) but that condition was meant to check that the owner of the unit was controlled by a user (as opposed to computer or rescuable or whatever else there is)

glad i was able to help,
