Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was just sitting and looking at my awesome multiboard I made and I figured that I might as well help out those who lack a bit of knowledge with multiboards by posting a sampling on how to make:
1) a good looking multiboard
2) a decent elapsed time count
3) a multiboard that resizes to fit the number of players
4) a multiboard function that also handles the revival for players
This multiboard can be used for AoSs, Arenas or anything else that it is useful to keep track of stats.
-----------------------------------------------
Triggers:
-----------------------------------------------
This is the initialization trigger that starts up your multiboard. Note that Player 1(Red) and Player 7(Green) are ommited in this case because this board is for an AoS that has them as the team's computers.

PART 2: I hit the limit for characters to a post so it is in two pieces.
This is the trigger that updates the board with each kill.
Code:
Death Update
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
Actions
Set ReviveTimer[(Player number of TempPlayerSecond)] = (TempInt x (Hero level of (Dying unit)))
Set XXMultiDeath[(Player number of TempPlayerSecond)] = (XXMultiDeath[(Player number of TempPlayerSecond)] + 1)
Set XXMultiKill[(Player number of TempPlayer)] = (XXMultiKill[(Player number of TempPlayer)] + 1)
Set XXMultiSpree[(Player number of TempPlayerSecond)] = 0
Set XXMultiSpree[(Player number of TempPlayer)] = (XXMultiSpree[(Player number of TempPlayer)] + 1)
Multiboard - Set the text for MultiBoard item in column 4, row XXTakenSlotXX[(Player number of TempPlayerSecond)] to (String(XXMultiDeath[(Player number of TempPlayerSecond)]))
Multiboard - Set the text for MultiBoard item in column 5, row XXTakenSlotXX[(Player number of TempPlayerSecond)] to 0
Multiboard - Set the text for MultiBoard item in column 3, row XXTakenSlotXX[(Player number of TempPlayer)] to (String(XXMultiKill[(Player number of TempPlayer)]))
Multiboard - Set the text for MultiBoard item in column 5, row XXTakenSlotXX[(Player number of TempPlayer)] to (String(XXMultiSpree[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))
Set ReviveTimer[(Player number of TempPlayerSecond)] = (TempInt x (Hero level of (Dying unit)))
This is the second to second update of the board, note that is also handles revival for the players

This is the minute to minute update, this could be merged with the second to second update but I chose not to.
Code:
Multi Time Minutes
Events
Time - Every 59.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Set XXMultiTime[3] = 0
Set XXMultiTime[2] = (XXMultiTime[2] + 1)
The update from hour to hour
Code:
Multi Time Hours
Events
Time - Every 3599.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Set XXMultiTime[2] = 0
Set XXMultiTime[1] = (XXMultiTime[1] + 1)
I will be posting up a demo map that shows how this multiboard looks/handles in a real game.
-----------------------------------------------
Needed Variables:
-----------------------------------------------
XXTakenSlotXX[12] = an integer array, this is so that we can set what row a specific player is using, so we can recall it later.
XXMultiTimeXX[3] = an integer array that I use to count the time
1 = hours
2 = minutes
3 = seconds
Multiboard = a multiboard variable to store the multiboard in
PlayerColourText[12] = an array that I fill on map init with each player's colour code
TempCount = a temporary integer I use for various things, in this case it is to document which row we are on when initializing the board
TempInt = a temporary integer that is again used for various things
TimeSlot = the slot(row) that the elapsed time takes up
Revivetimer[12] = an array integer that stores a player's time until revival
TempPoint = just a temporary point so we can remove it after useanyone can help me cause im confused plz make a trigger of this and put a map here plz its usefull for my aos
