Well, I'm using the multiboard uploaded by Ryoko but it's still not working on my map.
I checked a thousand times to find something wrong, but there's nothing wrong there.

Well, my map is a hero survival map and I wanted to keep track of creep killed by players on multiboard. Also, if it's not to ask too much, I also wanted to set up picked heroes icons on multiboard.

It's just that. Please someone help me with that. I've passed 2 days trying to find a solution for it in vain.

PS.: I never used JASS, but if there's no way to do that with GUI I can try it too.

i tried creating the multiboard for you, but i stopped for the information given will not suffice.. probably the multiboard i'd create would not be to your liking.. i'd create that multiboard for you if like, just send me what you want the multiboard to display, how it will display, color for each text? number of players? everything.. i suggest you open up paint, draw the multiboard you want me to make for you.. i'd be glad to help

i'll start as soon as you give me the necessary information. :D

Well first I suggest remove the icon box, it's simply useless. You can insert an icon in the box itself, no need a seperate one ONLY for an icon. I created a multiboard for my map, and I don't mind copying it to another map and upload it here. If you'd like me to.

for icons you will need database - hero:icon and dont need separate line, simply set style icon+text and add icon.

The biggest thing you have to do with a multi-board is bust out the pen and paper, sketch out what you want it to look like, and number your columns and rows. It makes it SIGNIFICANTLY easier to create that way. I have been somewhat successful with multiboards in the maps I've made. If you're interested, I might be able to help. =]

i second this. It helps incredibly.

And couldnt the hero icons just be put alongside the player names? each box has it's own icon, so i think it'd be a bit more efficient as far as screen space if you just combined the two :x Though, that's just imo. you probably have some justification.

Edit: this is an irrelevant addon to my post, but i'm still sad face about the new b4 version killing the gui tags t.t

How can I do this database? =S

btw, this multiboard I've done it's not working. It's not keeping track of creep kills. It stays frozen in 0.

I would be glad if you, comparami or anybody else do that... Specialy bcuz I will be able to see exactly how to do it and understanding the triggers it will be easier for me to change something in the future if I need or to set a multiboard for another map if I need

        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 4 to (String(int_creepsalive))
        Set leaderboard_disp = (Last created leaderboard)

That initiates the board and places text and/or variables in said positions.

Code: 
MBoard Creeps Spawning
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters creepstart <gen>
        Unit - A unit enters creepstart II <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is in (Units owned by Player 11 (Dark Green))) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set int_creepsalive = (int_creepsalive + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 4 to (String(int_creepsalive))

That makes it so any time a creep is spawned, it adds to the count of total creeps on the field. The following takes them off the multiboard when they die or reach the end.

Code: 
MBoard Creeps Dying
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
        Unit - A unit enters creepend <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is in (Units owned by Player 11 (Dark Green))) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set int_creepsalive = (int_creepsalive - 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 4 to (String(int_creepsalive))
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
            Then - Actions
                Set int_kills[0] = (int_kills[0] + 1)
                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 3 to (String(int_kills[0]))
            Else - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
                    Then - Actions
                        Set int_kills[1] = (int_kills[1] + 1)
                        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 3 to (String(int_kills[0]))
                    Else - Actions

I hope this gives you a decent idea about what's up with Multiboards. I think I included everything these need to be made. I have no idea about using icons in my multiboards. It's something I've never done, so I can't advise you in that aspect. I hope this helps though!

While I am glad you'd be willing to make it for him, I hope he takes the time to pick it apart and see how it was done. Otherwise, nobody ever really learns anything. That was my mistake when I first started mapping. -shrug- Either way, you've got your resource for your multiboard =P

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
