Leaderboard

[ZypHeRx™]

Hey, i got some problems with leaderboards.

I got a castle with 5000hp.
And i've added a title in my leaderboard stating:
Team 1 : Castle's life : 5000
Team 2 : Castle's life : 5000

But my problem is , how do i update the hp when the castle gets attacked?

Please help me. Thanks !

Here a basic example you can use

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Change the label for Player 1 (Red) in (Last created leaderboard) to <Empty String>

• Castle Damage
  • Events
    • Unit - Castle Takes damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Change the value for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) in (Last created leaderboard) to <Variable that contains the health of the castle>

I THINK that's what you need. Not 100% sure though. If you stick an If/Then/Else action there, you could possibly fit the code of both your castles getting damaged into the same trigger, possibly something like this:

• Castle Damage
  • Events
    • Unit - Castle 1 Takes damage
    • Unit - Castle 2 Takes damage
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to <Team 1>
      • Then - Actions
        • Leaderboard - Change the value for <Team 1> in (Last created leaderboard) to <Variable containing Castle 1 health>
      • Else - Actions
        • Leaderboard - Change the value for <Team 2> in (Last created leaderboard) to <Variable containing Castle 2 health>

Those in '<' '>' tags are your own variables.

Using

• Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time

Or something like that is better because if too many units attack the castle in same time it will cause a very big lag.

• Castle 1 Damage
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Attacked unit) Equal to &lt;Castle 1&gt;
      • Then - Actions
        • Leaderboard - Change the value for &lt;Team 1&gt; in (Last created leaderboard) to &lt;Variable containing Castle 1 health&gt;
      • Else - Actions

Would that be more suitable? With that, you might probably have to create two triggers, one for each Castle. You can probably fit them both in the same one still, but I lack the knowledge for that. ^^"

There is no "Unit is attacked" event, so you can't use Attacked unit.

Thanks for the sweet help.

But it still doesnt change the value in the leaderboard.

Have i done something wrong elsewhere?

• Events
  • Unit - Castle 0039 &lt;gen&gt; Takes damage
  • Unit - Castle 0040 &lt;gen&gt; Takes damage
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 9 (Gray) in LEADERBOARD_Kills to INT_Lives1
      • Else - Actions
        • Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 11 (Dark Green) in LEADERBOARD_Kills to INT_Lives2

      • If - Conditions
        • (Attacked unit) Equal to &lt;Castle 1&gt;
      • Then - Actions
        • Leaderboard - Change the value for &lt;Team 1&gt; in (Last created leaderboard) to &lt;Variable containing Castle 1 health&gt;

That don't make sense

• Events
  • Unit - Castle 0039 &lt;gen&gt; Takes damage
  • Unit - Castle 0040 &lt;gen&gt; Takes damage
  • Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
  • Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 9 (Gray) in LEADERBOARD_Kills to INT_Lives1
  • Else - Actions
  • Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 11 (Dark Green) in LEADERBOARD_Kills to INT_Lives2

Make 2 differents trigger one for Unit - Castle 0039 <gen> Takes damage and the other for Unit - Castle 0040 <gen> Takes damage and remove the condition.

bump ..

 

[Summoned]

• Events
  • Unit - Castle 0039 &lt;gen&gt; Takes damage
  • Unit - Castle 0040 &lt;gen&gt; Takes damage
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Change the value for Owner of (Triggering Unit) in LEADERBOARD_Kills to Life of (Triggering Unit)

If it's an integer, then use the Conversion - Convert Real to Integer function. Or Real to String. Haven't touched Leaderboards in a while.

EDIT: Although, as previously stated, a periodic update (i.e. every 1 second) will be more consistent and less laggy overall. If your Castle has a health regeneration ability, its health increase won't show up until it gets attacked again.

• Events
  • Every 1.00 Game Seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Change the value for Owner of (Castle 0039 &lt;gen&gt;) in LEADERBOARD_Kills to Life of (Castle 0039 &lt;gen&gt;)
    • Leaderboard - Change the value for Owner of (Castle 0040 &lt;gen&gt;) in LEADERBOARD_Kills to Life of (Castle 0040 &lt;gen&gt;)
