Second Trigger: Modify if a unit dies:

Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup=true
Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)

"All Players" Player Group is an already made group so if u destroy it u can't use it again so u better remove this custom script

The very next trigger that runs a "pick every unit in" action will destroy whatever group it's using.
Remove it.
It's for unit groups btw, not player groups.

"All players" doesn't leak anyway.

"Do nothing" isn't needed, it isn't doing anything anyway.

> ((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing

This condition isn't needed.


Your second trigger should have a condition:
(Killing unit) not equal to No unit

It's good, some errors, (mentioned above), but this helped me sort some stuff out. Thanks! +rep

Wait, it's not? But if a player leaves, won't the slot status still be set to User? In other words, won't it add people who are longer playing? (given that it is done at the beginning of the game I realise that's a low-probability chance, but it still is a chance).

Your second trigger should have a condition:
(Killing unit) not equal to No unit

How would that be possible? Damage over time would refer to the unit that killed it, and most poisen won't kill a unit. Also, how would that make any problems if it wasn't there?


In refrence to your trigger, I like to put my leaderboards at 0.00 time, but if there isn't anything around to kill for 5 seconds it won't matter.

A Unit dying by a DoT buff wouldn't actually have a killing Unit...it is usually reffered on killing by normal attack.

Well, if that's something you worry about, you need a trigger anyway that deals with leavers once the game is running.

> How would that be possible?

You can die for plenty of reasons. Not all of them include an enemy beating you up...
Entangling Roots and the caster dies before you do.
Some long lasting effect, and the dummy unit that cast it is long since gone.
Some area spells that don't register a caster.

The problem?
Well, the player number of a player that doesn't exist is 0.
And the owner as such does not exist.
But you're still trying to set his value in the leaderboard.

Some day, you may want to add a multiboard to your map.
Features like this one will result in entire rows or columns to get weird values...
Leaderboards are rather resistant, but, well, at least you know about it...

 

[Terrabull]

Ah, I hadn't even thought about Multiboards. Makes sense now.

Ok, anyway i dont need to reconstruct the thread. I think the users should see all the posts to make it work. Although it will help brushing up on World Editor.

I suggest adding CODE tags too

The # button.
