Tom Jones · Jan 24, 2008

Just register when a units dies, set increase a varible for the trigger unit and the killing unit, update the multiboard:

Code:

Multiboard
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column *Kills Column*, row *Player Row* to (String(Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))
        Set Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column *Kills Colums*, row *Player Column* to (String(Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]))

what type of variables are Kills and Deaths?

and if i want to add a condition for difference between heroes and units, for example:

Code:

Deaths Count
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column *Kills Colums*, row *Player Column* to (String(Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]))

Code:

Kills Count
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Killing unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Dying unit))) Equal to True
        ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column *Kills Column*, row *Player Row* to (String(Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]))

It is ok?

cleeezzz · Jan 24, 2008

Conditions are fine.

kill and death are integer variables, make sure to check array, size = (number of players total)

Nocturne · Jan 24, 2008

oks thanks

Nocturne · Jan 24, 2008

i was experimenting that in the map Multiboard I.w3x of the tutorial but i make something wrong...

when i kill a another hero the count KILL increase perfectly, like this:
Kills / Deaths
6 / 0

but when i die the two counters become 1
Kills / Deaths
1 / 1
and the Kills counter doesnt work more

if i die again increases the 2 counters
Kills / Deaths
2 / 2
:nuts:

what is wrong? help please

any ideas?

Uhh dude... Do you really think we can help from the information you gave?

Pretend you don't know anything about your trigger, then read what you just said...

Show your trigger...

Nocturne · Jan 25, 2008

the most diffucult trigger that I have modified :banghead:
ive search any error but nothing...

any help will be grateful

Almighty11 · Jan 25, 2008

Hey I'm not very experienced either but I took a small look at your
code and didnt find anything wrong.
Maybe the fact that two identical events matching same exact condition
are running can make one of the two time; cos I've found nothing wrong
with the triggers. Are there any other things or triggers in the map involved?

Terrabull · Jan 25, 2008

Add the condition "Killing Unit is not equal to No Unit" to both triggers. Looks like some bad data gets mixed in when you die which screws everything up.
Also, which player owns the units that kill your guy?

Choppa · Jan 25, 2008

Code:

Deaths
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of [B](Triggering unit)[/B]))] = (Deaths[(Player number of (Owner of [B](Triggering unit)[/B]))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard_flag item in column 3, row (4 + (Player number of (Owner of [B](Triggering unit)[/B]))) to (String(Deaths[(Player number of [B](Triggering player)[/B])]))

There are more specific things then Trigger unit/player.

Almighty11 · Jan 25, 2008

Well if the problem is about running the two triggers with these exact same events and conditions fullfilled, then using more specific things then triggering unit/player should really work, because it wouldnt matter the run order; correct me if im wrong. You should just test it.

Terrabull · Jan 25, 2008

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand your last post at all.

Nocturne · Jan 25, 2008

the main trigger is fine... i think....

Code:

Deaths
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set Deaths[(Player number of ([COLOR="Red"]Owner of (Triggering unit)[/COLOR]))] = (Deaths[(Player number of ([COLOR="Red"]Owner of (Triggering unit[/COLOR])))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard_flag item in column 3, row (4 + (Player number of [COLOR="Red"](Owner of (Triggering unit))[/COLOR])) to (String(Deaths[([COLOR="Red"]Player number of (Triggering player[/COLOR]))]))

Code:

Kills
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Killing unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Dying unit))) Equal to True
        ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kills[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row (4 + (Player number of ([COLOR="Red"]Owner of (Casting unit)[/COLOR]))) to (String(Kills[(Player number of [COLOR="Red"](Owner of (Killing unit)))]))[/COLOR]

im not sure, but the red parts maybe are wrong...

Quauhtli · Jan 25, 2008

Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard_flag item in column 3, row (4 + (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))) to (String(Deaths[(Player number of (Triggering player))]))

Are the blacked ones supposed to be different?

Nocturne · Jan 25, 2008

>Are the blacked ones supposed to be different?
Today 02:57 PM

i think that red parts are wrong
but i dont sure

Quauhtli · Jan 25, 2008

I was pointing out that you should change them.
And what exactly happened at 2:57 PM? There is a great time difference so I have no idea which post you are talking about.

Nocturne · Jan 25, 2008

when i copy and paste your message also paste the date... forget that

if someone want, i can upload the map for anyone can see whats happend

Mr.Banankaka · Jan 25, 2008

Just combine the two triggers and change a few things to make it look like this:

Code:

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

You´ll have to change the column and row numbers in the trigger but you´ll probably make that of you own.
