How do i make multiboard work

[Nazifromhell]

i can get a multiboard to come up with my rows and coloums working but only think theat shows is a bunch of eyes instead of what i want... i have tried different things it just slowly gets annoying. i want it in my tower defence so everyone can see every one elses kills and gold. help would be very apreciated! if u see my game some time join its called Arthas's Game Tower Defence.

im dumb

i followed that link to the multiboard stuff and i downloaded the simple multiboard file but i dont know how to open it i tryed opening it with worleditor but it didnt work... please tell me how!

 

[Darg]

the only way you wouldn't be able to open it was if you didn't have the war3 frozen throne expansion pack.

 

[nazzfromhell]

i thought so

i have frozen throne and i saved that fiel to my desktop and i right clicked fiel and selected opne with world edit, world edit came up but then it said cant open this file. so i was like the hell. (sigh). alot of the stuff with world edit i do is new to me cause i taught my self every thing. i tried comping that one example of a multi borad on that link but i cant get that to work niether i looked over every thing and i cant find a difference bettween what i have down and what is down on the thread. its all dissapointing lol.

[nazzfromhell]

ahhh

im getting pissed now i have messed around with the example trigger and only thing that comes up on the mutli board is the title and to icons of eyes. plz help me!

 

[SD_Ryoko]

I think it does that when...

You don't define a value for that cell.

You never set that cell to display text.

 

[nazzfromhell]

whats the cell

whats the cell in this trigger:
am i useing the right varibles in this trigger im using:

mymultiboard = multiboard none
mymultiboardrowindex = integer 0

Actions
    Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 2 columns and 1 rows, titled Your Multiboard Title...
    Set myMultiboard = (Last created multiboard)
    Set multiboardRowIndex = 1
    Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching
           (((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)) and do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Multiboard - Change the number of rows for (Last created multiboard) to 
                     ((Number of rows in (Last created multiboard)) + 1)
            Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, 
                    row multiboardRowIndex to (Name of (Picked player))
            Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, 
 row multiboardRowIndex to (String(NumberOfKills[(Player number of (Picked player))]))
            Set multiboardRowIndex = (multiboardRowIndex + 1)
            Multiboard - Show (Last created multiboard)

 

[SD_Ryoko]

LIKE I SAID

Your not setting the display style for each cell

For each (Integer A) from 1 to (List - 1), do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (Integer A) to Show text and Hide icons
        Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (Integer A) to Show text and Hide icons

ok i c the cell thing now... but there is still a problem the icon are gone but there is no text (sigh) i must have varibles mest up a guess caus eim not great with thoughs and i had to guess at them.

 

[nazzfromhell]

always a problem

i found out how to import a trigger but evry time i import it it come up as a trigger called untitled "#" and has noothing on it. has this happend to ne one else???

 

[nazzfromhell]

plz

if i emailed somone my game coul dthey look at what i did wrong with the triggers for my multi board. if it make a difference ur name will go under the loading screen.

I would almost venture to guess your editor is corrupted in some shape or form, you seem to have problems no one else has. Perhaps a reinstall of the game would be of benefit.

 

[nazifromhell]

yea

ywa i was think in about it (sigh)
