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

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
