Alright, I'm going to show you how to create a basic Multiboard with Player Name, Kills and Deaths. Easiest tutorial for beginners.

Steps:
Step 1 - Creation
Step 2 - Changing Icons and Texts
Step 3 - Re-setting Texts - Kills and Deaths.

If you wish you can skip the explanation part, just create the 3 triggers at the bottom of the tutorial

Step 1

Open the trigger editor ( F4 ) and create a new folder. First of all create a variable which stores the number of all user players when the game has started. Open the variable editor ( Ctrl+B ) and click on the green "X" to create a new variable. Set the name to PlayersCount and the Type to Integer. Do NOT make it an Array [Do NOT put a tick on the "array" place]. Ok now we have the variable, we must set it, create a new trigger[I named mine "The Running Trigger" If you wonder what's that] with an event - time elapsed - 0 seconds and no conditions. Make a new action to set the variable:

Code: 
The Running Trigger
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set PlayersCount = (Number of players in (All players controlled by a User player))

Now create a new trigger for the multiboard creation with no events and no conditions. Make a new action to create the multiboard: [to remove some leaks minimize it]

Code: 
Creation of the Multiboard
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and (1 + PlayersCount) rows, titled The Name You Wish
        Multiboard - Minimize (Last created multiboard)

Explanation: Columns are the vertical slots and rows are the horizontal ones.( I'm not sure if i spelled it correctly ) Set the rolls to 1 + PlayersCount (The variable we created earlier) so you have 1 free row to set "Players" "Kills" and "Deaths" at the top.
The easiest way to create the columns and rows correctly is by imaging this infront of you:
]
multiboardzd8.th.png
C = Column
R = Row

If you test the map now you will see alot of annoying eye icons, that's what we will remove in the next step:

Step 2

Instead of creating actions that remove all icons one by one create an action that changes the display style to hide icons and show text in column 0, row 0, that will remove the icons in all rows and columns.


Code: 
Creation of the Multiboard
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and (1 + PlayersCount) rows, titled The Name You Wish
        Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons

Alright, we cleared the icons, now lets set the texts:

Create a new event which sets the text of column 1 row 1 to Player and increase its width to 10% of the screen size, so longer names can be contained:
Code: 
Actions
    Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and (1 + PlayersCount) rows, titled The Name You Wish
    Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
    [B]Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Players
    Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to 10.00% of the total screen width[/B]

Next set column 2 row 1 to Kills, there are going to be shown the player kills. Set the width to 3%.
Code: 
Creation of the Multiboard
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and (1 + PlayersCount) rows, titled The Name You Wish
        Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Players
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to 10.00% of the total screen width
        [B]Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to Kills
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to 3.00% of the total screen width[/B]

Do the same thing to column 3 just change the text to Deaths

Code: 
Creation of the Multiboard
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and (1 + PlayersCount) rows, titled The Name You Wish
        Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Players
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to 10.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to Kills
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to 3.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 1 to Deaths
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 1 to 3.00% of the total screen width

Now we will set the names of the players and the scores to 0, Create a variable of type String and name PlayerNames, make it an ARRAY [Set a tick on the tick box near "array"] and set the count to 12 and set the variable, also set the names and "0"'s in the multiboard trigger, just do as shown below:

Code: 
Creation of the Multiboard
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and (1 + PlayersCount) rows, titled The Name You Wish
        Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Players
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to 10.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to Kills
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to 3.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 1 to Deaths
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 1 to 3.00% of the total screen width
        [B]Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set PlayerNames[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Name of (Player((Player number of (Picked player)))))
                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row ((Player number of (Picked player)) + 1) to PlayerNames[(Player number of (Picked player))]
                Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row ((Player number of (Picked player)) + 1) to 10.00% of the total screen width
                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (1 + (Player number of (Picked player))) to   0
                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (1 + (Player number of (Picked player))) to   0[/B]

Ok, we are done with the multiboard, lets set the kills and deaths count:

Step 3

Create a new variable named Score_Kills, make it an array with size 12, just like player names, type - Integer, create a new trigger with event an unit dies, and set the variable there, do as shown below:

Code: 
Kills and Deaths
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Greater than 0
        (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Less than or equal to 12
        (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Greater than 0
        (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Less than or equal to 12
    Actions
        Set Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (1 + (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))) to [B](String(Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit[/B])))]))
The bounded text is a convertion - string to integer.

Now set the deaths, just make a new variable named Score_Deaths, make it an array with size 12 and set it just like Score_Kills, and make an action like shown below:

Code: 
Kills and Deaths
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Greater than 0
        (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Less than or equal to 12
        (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Greater than 0
        (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Less than or equal to 12
    Actions
        Set Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (1 + (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))) to (String(Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))
        Set Score_Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Score_Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (1 + (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))) to (String(Score_Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]))

Now we are almost done, we just need to run the creating trigger, do as shown below:

Code: 
The Running Trigger
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set PlayersCount = (Number of players in (All players controlled by a User player))
        Trigger - Run Creation of the Multiboard <gen> (ignoring conditions)

And done, that was the basic, white colored multiboard with almost no leaks. Just for checkup, these are the full triggers:

The Running Trigger:
Code: 
The Running Trigger
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set PlayersCount = (Number of players in (All players controlled by a User player))
        Trigger - Run Creation of the Multiboard <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Creation of the Multiboard
Code: 
Creation of the Multiboard
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and (1 + PlayersCount) rows, titled The Name You Wish
        Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Players
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to 10.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to Kills
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to 3.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 1 to Deaths
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 1 to 3.00% of the total screen width
        Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set PlayerNames[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Name of (Player((Player number of (Picked player)))))
                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row ((Player number of (Picked player)) + 1) to PlayerNames[(Player number of (Picked player))]
                Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row ((Player number of (Picked player)) + 1) to 10.00% of the total screen width
                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (1 + (Player number of (Picked player))) to   0
                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (1 + (Player number of (Picked player))) to   0

Kills and Deaths
Code: 
Kills and Deaths
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Greater than 0
        (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Less than or equal to 12
        (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Greater than 0
        (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Less than or equal to 12
    Actions
        Set Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (1 + (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))) to (String(Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))
        Set Score_Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Score_Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (1 + (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))) to (String(Score_Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]))

For questions - reply :D

I added the "minimize" part after i have posted the tutorial, that's why that part exists only in the first "creation" trigger. I'm sorry for that.

Extras

Clock: Change the first part in the "creation" trigger to:

Code: 
Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and ([B][U]2[/U][/B] + PlayersCount) rows, titled The Name You Wish

Now create new actions at the creation trigger ( Recommended to be at the bottom of all actions [ Not at the pick player's bottom, the bottom bottom :D ] )

Code: 
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (PlayersCount + 2) to Clock[COLOR="red"][U]__[/U][/COLOR]0
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (PlayersCount + 2) to 0
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (PlayersCount + 2) to 0
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (PlayersCount + 2) to 7.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (PlayersCount + 2) to 3.00% of the total screen width
        Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (PlayersCount + 2) to 3.00% of the total screen width

Empty space at the red place is recommended. Now create a variable named Clock_Sec_Min_Hour, make it an array with size 3 and type Integer. Now create a new trigger named Seconds and do this:

Code: 
Seconds
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[1] = (Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[1] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (PlayersCount + 2) to ((String(Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[1])))

Now create a new trigger named Minutes and do as shown below:
Code: 
Minutes
    Events
        Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[2] = (Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[2] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (PlayersCount + 2) to 0
        Set Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[1] = 0
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (PlayersCount + 2) to (String(Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[2]))

Now create a new trigger named Hours and do as shown below:
Code: 
        Hours
    Events
        Time - Every 3600.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[3] = (Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[3] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 4, row (PlayersCount + 4) to 0
        Set Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[2] = 0
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (PlayersCount + 4) to (Clock[COLOR="red"][U]__[/U][/COLOR] + (String(Clock_Sec_Min_Hour[3])))

On the underlined red place leave as much space as you left at the first one above.
That was it, now you have a pretty good clock in your multiboard :)

Very simple tutorial, and looks user friendly. Although i think you could use loops in the changing the items in the multiboard. Im not all that experienced with it.

Anyway, +rep.

Instead of "If you test the map you'll see no icons"
you could do "If you test the map you'll see this:" and post.

I'm not sure if i spelled it correctly

Use Spellcheck in that case.

Indeed.
From a multiplayer game where players 1, 4 and 9 are playing. All other slots empty / unused.

Post back when you fixed it.

I don't know what must i fix, because if players 1, 4 and 9 are playing, it will be okay, because it will create 4 rows, 1st for the players, kills, deaths and the other 3 for player 1, 4 and 9...

I'm working on a clock, I'll edit the tutorial thread when I'm done with the clock thing and i will add it. I'll add the hero revival aswell.

Instead of:

Code: 
(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Greater than 0
(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Less than or equal to 12

Why not use:

Code: 
(Owner of (Killing Unit)) Not Equal to Neutral

Or maybe:
Code: 
(Owner of (Killing Unit)) Slot Status Equal to User

Where would it show the kills for player 9?

there is one part of the trigger Kills and death which i am having trouble to fix.


Set Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (1 + (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))) to (String(Score_Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))
Set Score_Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Score_Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (1 + (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))) to (String(Score_Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]))
Click to expand...


execpt.. i tried to get that script and my result was.

Click to expand...

You can try 'reshuffling' the player number. Add players into a player group. Then work from there instead of using All players.

Example:

Map Init
Code: 
Map Variables Setup
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        -------- Player Setup --------
        Set Z_Playergp_General = (All players matching (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing))
        Player Group - Pick every player in Z_Playergp_General and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Player Group - Add (Picked player) to [B]Z_Playergp_AllPlayingPlayers[/B]
        Custom script:   call DestroyForce (udg_Z_Playergp_General)


Code: 
Multiboard Total Kills or Stings
    Events
        A unit dies
    Conditions
    Actions
        Player Group - Pick every player in [B]Z_Playergp_AllPlayingPlayers[/B] and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Multiboard - Set the text for X_Multiboard_Bumper item in column 3, row ((Player number of (Picked player)) + 2) to (String(D_Int_Kills_TotalKills[(Player number of (Picked player))]))

Hope you get what I mean.

Did you create both variables Score_Kills and Score_Deaths? Both variables are with size 12 and type integer, use them in (String(Score_Kills(Player number of....
and (String(Score_Deaths(Player number of ...

really simple just convert the string to integer, open the blue text after "String" and it has a field named variables, open the scrolldown menu and find the variable there, it should have index when you click "ok" there set "Player number of owner of killing (this is only for score_kills) unit" and "Player number of owner of triggering unit" for score_deaths

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    I think I need to split the Sci/Tech news forum into 2 one for Science and one for Tech but I am hating all the moving of posts I would have to do

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
