Mulitiboard Help

[Im_On_56k]

Ok i know how to create a multiboard, but never really needed one so i don't know much about them.

How would i make the multiboard change the icon for the player to the hero they have. And in another columm have the % of the hp of the hero and in another how many kills the player has?

The player will only have 1 hero.

 

[AceHart]

Multiboards come with "Set item icon", where you can select,
as you may have guessed, an icon.

Now, whether a unit icon is usable there, I wouldn't know...
They are rather large.
(Anyone tried this?)

For the "normal" Heroes, however, you certainly can go with their "score screen" icon.
(Under "units - special")

 

[darkmaster24]

you can do it, ive seen it done before in maps and they use the scorescreen icon, im just not sure how you do it, but you can

im not sure you could have the percent of health left but possibly how much health left. it might be something like

events
a unit is attacked
conditions
none
actions
set score in last created multiboard for owner of attacked unit to acttacked unit's current health (roughly something like that)
show last created multiboard

 

[AceHart]

Small update:
Yes, you can use any unit's icon in a multiboard.
The board scales them down to fit.

 

[SilverHawk]

Yes, you can do it, but it's rather painstaking. For the icon, you need to createa pick every unit loop and an if-then-else action for each hero saying "If <herotype> equal to <herotype1> then set icon in row <x>, column <y> to <icon>" Not exact, but that's basically it. As for the percent thing, yes you can do it, just set the value to (current HP / max HP) * 100.

-Edit-

Be sure to convert that to an integer.

-Edit-

There is a better way in a thread with a similar title if you would prefer.

 

[AceHart]

> (current HP / max HP) * 100.

Instead of calculating this by hand, just ask for the health as percentage...

 

[SilverHawk]

I know, I saw that afterward. Here we go again, Ace correcting me for making something simple way more complicated...

 

[SD_Ryoko]

I might note, there is a fully working multiboard in the Free Tutorial Code thread, in my demo map, that has name, kills, and icons.

 

[Senkin]

Ryoko, we are using that multiboard, but the probolem is we are trying to add the players hp% in.

I am working with 56k to get it working.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Try a periodic event of every 2 or 3 seconds of the game.

For each player, calc the percentage, and use the same Mspots variable the kills trigger uses to change the cells value.

Of course, you'll need to add another column, and change the other triggers (or they will change the wrong column)

If you cant get it, I'll try coding it.

 

[Senkin]

I dont think I can quite get what you ment, but here is the multiboard I have re edited.

Ok trying to go by what ryoko and aceheart said this is the trigger I came up with

Tally Score Copy
Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Conditions
((Owner of (Attacked unit)) controller) Equal to User
Actions
Set Player_Hp[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacked unit)))] = (((Integer((Life of (Attacked unit)))) / (Integer((Max life of (Attacked unit))))) x 100)
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row List to (String(Player_Hp[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacked unit)))]))

I tried this and it didnt work.

 

[SilverHawk]

Be sure you show the multiboard at the end.

 

[Senkin]

I did, and it still didnt work. Ok I done some testing and it shows that this exact line does not want to respond in any way not even color.

Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row List to ((String(Player_Hp[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacked unit)))]))

Maybe this is not letting it work but here is the variable set

Set Player_Hp[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacked unit)))] = (Integer((Percentage life of (Attacked unit))))


P.S I have tried these too and it still wouldent work

Set Player_Hp[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacked unit)))] = (((Integer((Life of (Attacked unit)))) / (Integer((Max life of (Attacked unit))))) x 100)

Set Player_Hp[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacked unit)))] = (Integer((Life of (Attacked unit))))

 

[AceHart]

What's the value of "list" when that trigger runs?

 

[Senkin]

List is a placement of eatch new row for eatch player that is in the game. Look up in these posts a little in my post where I show my Create Multiboard trigger and it makes sence.

 

[AceHart]

Well... yes...


In "Update hp", you use:
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row List to <something>


What row would that be? First? Second? Somewhere outside the board?

 

[Senkin]

'Sighs' (DONT MIND THE SIGH I have had a bit of a bad day)
Aceheart. The variable List in that trigger sets the row depending on what player is the triggering player and the part
[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacked unit)))])) sets it so List is the row # is what ever player that is the owner of the attacked unit)

 

[AceHart]

Well, I'm having my really slow day today,
so, just for the fun of having something to post,
here's a copy of the trigger as seen in post #11:

Update hp
Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Conditions
Or - Any (Conditions) are true
Conditions
(Owner of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
(Owner of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
(Owner of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Player 3 (Teal)
(Owner of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
(Owner of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Player 5 (Yellow)
(Owner of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Player 6 (Orange)
Actions
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row List to (String((Percentage life of (Attacked unit))))

That was simple.

Now, if we have a unit of any players 1 to 6 under attack,
some text is put into "column 3, row list".

Ok, so far.
And you're telling me that your "list" variable automatically
knows what row is what player?

Cool, how is it doing that?

I'm obviously missing the totally obvious
But, well, whatever floats your boat...

 

[Senkin]

I am sorry for the sigh, I just had a bit of a rough day and I am a little stredded, I did not mean the sigh to be mean in any way at all.
