Integer A loop not adding players to Multiboard

[Danis[h]]

Okay, so I'm wanting to create a for each integer A loop to add all six players to the multiboard, if said player is playing. However when I removed the conditions to check if it would work, it still only added me.

• Loop - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
    • Then - Actions
      • Set i = (i + 1)
      • Set PlayerRow[(Integer A)] = (i + 1)
      • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (i + 1) to (Colors[(Integer A)] + (Name of (Player((Integer A)))))
      • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (i + 1) to (Colors[(Integer A)] + (String(LivesLabel[Lives[(Integer A)]])))
      • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (i + 1) to (Colors[(Integer A)] + (String(Kills[(Integer A)])))
    • Else - Actions
      • Do nothing

The full trigger looks as follows.

• Init multiboard
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 2.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and (1 + (Number of players in Players)) rows, titled (Colors[10] + Game Status|r)
    • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to (Colors[10] + Player:|r)
    • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row 1 to (Colors[10] + Karakter:|r)
    • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 1 to (Colors[10] + Kills:|r)
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
    • Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to 10.00% of the total screen width
    • Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 0 to 6.00% of the total screen width
    • Multiboard - Minimize (Last created multiboard)
    • Multiboard - Maximize (Last created multiboard)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
          • Then - Actions
            • Set i = (i + 1)
            • Set PlayerRow[(Integer A)] = (i + 1)
            • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (i + 1) to (Colors[(Integer A)] + (Name of (Player((Integer A)))))
            • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (i + 1) to (Colors[(Integer A)] + (String(LivesLabel[Lives[(Integer A)]])))
            • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (i + 1) to (Colors[(Integer A)] + (String(Kills[(Integer A)])))
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing

lol your trigger is made just to add one player.

No it is not. It is made to add six players.

 

[crazyfanatic]

didnt see it all, now ill check it.

lol your trigger is made just to add one player.

Note the 'For Each Integer A from 1-6' loop. This tells the game to run that part of the trigger 6 times, allowing six players to be added with very few actions.

Could you post a screenshot of the multiboard in-game?

Umm... Why so many i+1s? Player one from that will appear on row 3, player two row 6, player three row 9 ect. Just do the 'set i to i + 1' action and change everything else to 'set PlayerRow to i' and 'row i'. Also, why the If/then/else? there are no conditions so it is useless.

 

[crazyfanatic]

afrer you set i=i+1 you set the row =i+1, why? It should set it just row=i.

I removed the conditions for debugging purposes. and the integer i doesn't do anything but count how many times the loop has been run through, why? Because I need it to save which row which player has been added to for later reference..

Example.. Player 1 is playing. Player 5 is playing.. Then the game has to be told to save player 5's data to row 3 instead of row 6. (Note the first row has been used to add text labels)

This means that if I want to alter player 5's data such as kills, I will need to refer to row 3, not row 6.. this is why I have an integer counting how many times the loop has been run through, and thus to what row which player goes.

  • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 1 to (Colors[10] + Kills:|r)
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
  • Then - Actions
  • Set i = (i + 1)
  • Set PlayerRow[(Integer A)] = (i + 1)
  • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row (i + 1) to (Colors[(Integer A)] + (Name of (Player((Integer A)))))
  • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (i + 1) to (Colors[(Integer A)] + (String(LivesLabel[Lives[(Integer A)]])))
  • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (i + 1) to (Colors[(Integer A)] + (String(Kills[(Integer A)])))
  • Else - Actions
  • Multiboard - Set the display style for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
  • Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 0, row 0 to 10.00% of the total screen width
  • Multiboard - Set the width for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row 0 to 6.00% of the total screen width
  • Multiboard - Minimize (Last created multiboard)
  • Multiboard - Maximize (Last created multiboard)
  • Do nothing

I don't think you can add players after the display has been adjusted.. maybe I don't know.
After you create the multiboard add the Game - Display message to All Players - Integer To String (Number of players in Players).

FYI it's flat unfortunately, I only moved the multiboard actions between Display Style and maximize to the bottom.

This did nothing, a good suggestion though.

Alright, what did the Message of how many players in the Player Group players display?

Doooh what a huge oversight.. I add players to the playergroup in the main initialization trigger of the map, and here I still had the condition of Player controller and player slot status, so no matter what I changed in the multiboard trigger, it would only make it with 2 lines because the playergroup only had me in it, and so it couldn't write to the last lines as those didn't exist.

It works like a charm now.
thank you.

No worries
