How to: Create Multiboards

[Lanboy]

 Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + 1) to (String(player_kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))

Look at the row. What if there weren't all players in the game to begin with, for example:

Name
Red
Blue
Teal
Yellow
Orange

...where for example, player four (purple) is missing? wouldnt that make the scores malfunction for yellow and orange? yellow is player 5, yet he's in row 5 (instead of 6?)

 

[sniperz]

can the guy's here provide multiboard with like set 50 kills to win / 70 kills?

a tutorial map uploaded shud be nicer i mean with Kills to WIn

Yep! I'm trying to figure out how to fix that right now. I might just have to look at the unprotected DotA, since that has a multiboard that doesn't malfunction when the player slots aren't perfectly arranged.

For a LOOOOOONG time I wondered how to make a multiboard. You rock AndrewGosu!

 

[Fame.]

Is there anyway to add a picked heroes icon to a multiboard if so can anyone help me?

Player kills
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Owner of (Killing unit)) is in players_playing) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set player_kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (player_kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + 1) to (String(player_kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))

Same for dying, the colum 3, row x player needs to be updated every time your hero dies.

Player dies
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Owner of (Dying unit)) is in players_playing) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set player_deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (player_deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit))) + 1) to (String(player_deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))]))

Those can be compressed into If/Then/Elses, you say If ((Owner of (Dying unit)) is in players_playing) Equal to True Then blah blah blah Else (another if/then/else) If ((Owner of (Killing unit)) is in players_playing) Equal to True then blah blah blah.

As for spelling (didn't read everything btw) Appreciated* a lot*
I dunno why people need tutorials on this, seemed kinda obvious to me

Well for some people it's not 100% clear on how to create a multiboard sensei it's quit different for leaderboard.... I didn't know how to make one.

to Fame., I would give each hero different point value (got 70 heros? for the first one give point value 1, to the second 2, and so on unilt 70.) Now get a string variable with array equal to num of heros you got. Now set each variable to the appropiate hero icon. Lastly then use that string (with the proper array (hero's point value)) as the icon.

 

[Terrabull]

Quick note here. After some messing around I found that if you use the value 0 in the colum or row it will effect all of either the colums or rows. This could be useful for formatting so you don't have to use the loops.

 

[CrazyChao]

All of the text on my multiboard keeps getting cut off, and I do not know why. Great tutorial.

EDIT: Sorry, just forgot to set the width. Works great now. :shades:

 

[Leos]

-------- row 2, colum 1, 2, 3. --------
    -------- red team --------
    Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard_flag item in column 1, row 2 to (cc_players[1] + (Red Team + cc_endtag))
    Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard_flag item in column 2, row 2 to (String(team_score[1]))
    Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard_flag item in column 3, row 2 to string_owns_flag[2]

Whats the variable "team_score[1]" equal to? It was never mentioned before it's inclusion, and while I can figure out its a integer array, I don't know what to set it to?

 

[Andrewgosu]

It's default value is 0. Set it to that.

 

[Leos]

No, I mean in the function Set team_score[1]=X , what should X be?

I didnt see this anywhere, but I may have missed it as I only skimmed through the latter portions of the trigger.

 

[Andrewgosu]

"set team_score[1] = (team_score[1] + 1)" every time the team scores a point.

 

[Leos]

Ah, I see now. Since the initial value is 0, thats all that would be required. Thanks.

 

[duyen]

Resurrection is spelled wrong one S

 

[DeathWing]

Meybe instead Loop Part use this:

Wieloschowek - Set the display style for multiboard_main item in column 0, row 0 to View text and Hide icons

Cuz when u use "0" WE uses this settings to all rows/columns.

 

[butters132]

i made a multiboard representing kills/deaths but it tallies in the wrong place when i kill a hero, heres what i have:

Events
Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds

Actions
Set Player_Count = (Number of players in (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing))))
Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 4 columns and (1 + Player_Count) rows, titled Hero Arena
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to Player Name
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 1 to Kills
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 4, row 1 to Deaths
For each (Integer A) from 1 to (1 + Player_Count), do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (Integer A) to 2.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 4, row (Integer A) to 5.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (Integer A) to 3.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (Integer A) to 8.00% of the total screen width
Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (Integer A) to Show text and Hide icons
Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 4, 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
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 1, row 1 to Show text and Hide icons
Set List = 2
Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching ((((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing) and (((Matching player) controller) Equal to User))) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set Multiboard_Spots[(Player number of (Picked player))] = List
Player Group - Pick every player in (All players controlled by a User player) and do (Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row List to (Name of (Picked player)))
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row List to Player_Color[(Player number of (Picked player))]
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row List to 0
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 4, row List to 0
Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row List to UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceGold.blp
Set List = (List + 1)
Multiboard - Show (Last created multiboard)

Then i made a new trigger:
Events
Unit - A unit Dies

Conditions
((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
((Owner of (Killing unit)) controller) Equal to User

Actions
Set Death_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Death_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] + 1)
Set Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row Multiboard_Spots[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] to (String(Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 4, row Multiboard_Spots[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] to (String(Death_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))]))
Player - Add 1 to (Owner of (Killing unit)) Current lumber

My problem is that when you kill somebody it tallies on deaths in the first row and tallies on deaths on the player row, or multiboard_spots. It also tallies on kills so thats good. TO clear things up this is an example of my multiboard:

Player Name:--Kills---Deaths
butters132----0------0

Now when i kill a unit it becomes:

Player Name:--Kills--1
bitters132-----1----1

*Note -'s aren't really there i just put them there to even it up, for some reason when i put spaces it didn't save it

P.S sry i don't know how to make one of those narly scroll down-light blueish thingys that you guys use in turtorials nor do i know how to make charts.

Thanks a bunch

Well.. i think the problem its in the player_row for the updates.

Well can anyone say how to fix? =O

 

[butters132]
