Multiboard Problem -->Can't Solve<--

[DoYouLikePie]

I have been working on this problem for a while. Here is the explained problem:

I need the triggers for a timer on a multiboard going down from 10 minutes when a unit dies. Does anyone know how? I really need to get this problem solved. Thanks for anyone who helps!

Every time a unit dies or a specific unit die or the first unit dieing?

When the medic (the unit) dies, I need a timer on the multiboard for 15:00 counting down to 0:00. When it reaches 0:00, the medic is revived.

You'll not want a multiboard, but a timer.

No, a timer on a multiboard

Check thats it better... Senkins made a multiboard to show time elapsed, but you can make it so it decreases instead of increasing the timer.

I kinda got a timer started on the multiboarrd, but when it gets to 10 seconds it does this: 0:11, 0:10, 0:9, 0:8, (I need an extra 0) Like this:
0:11, 0:10, 0:09, 0:08

Thanks if you figure it out!

Just add an if loop - if time < 10 secs, put a 0 before time.

but

but how would i do that. Conditions - Interval change? I don't understand...

check this post on how to do that

 

[Senkin]

Here ya go

Here is what you need in detail (even on what trigger it takes to make this)

[B][COLOR=DarkRed]Events[/COLOR][/B]
Time - A Unit Dies [B][COLOR=Lime](Genaric Unit Event)[/COLOR][/B]

[B][COLOR=Green]Conditions[/COLOR][/B]
Triggering unit equal to [COLOR=Lime](Your unit here)[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=Lime](I am not on WE but im sure u can find it)[/COLOR][/B]

[B][COLOR=Yellow]Actions[/COLOR][/B]
Set Seconds = (Seconds - 1)   [B][COLOR=Lime](Set Variable)[/COLOR][/B]
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)  [B][COLOR=Lime](If then elce multiable conditions)[/COLOR][/B]
  If - Conditions
    Seconds Equal to 60 [B][COLOR=Lime](integer variable I belive)[/COLOR][/B]
      Then - Actions
        Set Seconds = 0 [B][COLOR=Lime](set variable)[/COLOR][/B]
        Set Miniutes = (Miniutes + 1) [B][COLOR=Lime](set variable)[/COLOR][/B]
          Else - Actions
            Do nothing
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)  [B][COLOR=Lime](If then elce multiable conditions)[/COLOR][/B]
  If - Conditions
    Seconds Less than 10 [B][COLOR=Lime](integer variable I belive)[/COLOR][/B]
      Then - Actions
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (Player_Count + 2) to (((String(Miniutes)) +  + (0 + (String(Seconds)))) 
          Else - Actions
            Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row (Player_Count + 2) to ((String(Miniutes)) + (: + (String(Seconds))))

For the areas I did not explain it is cause it would take too long to do it.


Anyway this should do it.

Oh yeah and if you got a different multiboard then the one from my tutorial or ryoko's then please post it so I can edit some of this to work with yours.
If it would make it easier on you, you can upload your map here and ic an put it all in for you and make sure it works.

Uh

Where did you get Player Count from? And Im going down not up. :banghead: too much pain :banghead: lol Help! Help! lol thanks if you do and remember, :shades: stay cool. BUT HELP! lol

I appreciate Senkin's attempted help, but I'll state my opinion. WE already HAS a timer and a timer window...it counts down which is what you want. If you want to count UP, use a multiboard, and it's usually complicated.

This is all you do (I'm also away from my computer, which is why I'm not on my Rinpun account ).

Events
A Unit dies

Conditions
Unit type of (triggering unit --or-- dying unit) equal to Medic (your unit's type basically)     <----- Senkin, you have to use unit types :)

Actions
Set MedicUnit = (triggering unit --or-- dying unit)
Create a one-shot timer that expires in x seconds (how many seconds you'd want)
Set MedicTmr = (last created timer)
Create a timer window for MedicTmr <----- Something like that.
Set MedicWndw = (last created timer window)
Show MedicWndw

-----------------------------
Then create a second trigger
-----------------------------

Events
A timer expires

Conditions
Timer equal to MedicTmr <----- This is the part I don't remember XD

Actions
Destroy MedicWndw <----- You might need to hide it too. I'll get back to my computer on that.
<Do whatever you want to do to the MedicUnit>

Yes, you need three variables. MedicUnit is a Unit variable and it keeps track of your Medic, because your Medic is nonexistant in the second trigger. MedicTmr is a Timer variable, and it keeps track of your timer for the second trigger. MedicWndw is a Timer Window variable, and it keeps track of your timer window for the second trigger. The latter two aren't exactly needed because you can do "(last created timer/timer window)". HOWEVER, it will conflict with whatever timers and timer windows you already have going in your map, so variables will be needed if you have more timer windows.

Couldnt you use 2 variables?

1 minute variable and 1 second variable and each time second reach 0 it substracts 1 minute and if minute and second = o then it revives the Dood?

 

[Senkin]

The player colors part is a variable to my multiboard, much like the one from the tutorial. And as to make the timer count down is already done, look at the code I posted above and it works.

As for timers, they look ok, but sometimes it has bugs when in a multiabord. Like the not showing 0:09 it shows :9 and so on. I found it alot more relyable to use my style of trigger, And mind you that trigger is 2 months old I have learned alot since then so I am sure I can make a little better one but I can garentee you it works fine.

Here I will do this for you. Tell me what multiboard you are using. Mine from the tutorial, or your own made one. Then I will make you the code you need for a timer in the multiboard that counts down. I will also make sure I tell you exactaly how to put it all in.

 

[DoYouLikePie]

I am using the multiboard from the tutorial.

 

[NRinpun]

Usually when a unit dies you don't even bother adding said timer to the multiboard. It's better letting it sit in its own window just above the multiboard.

 

[DoYouLikePie]

Yea but that doesnt look so great now does it?

 

[Senkin]

I agree So this timer is for only a cirten unit? Or is this for a player's hero that is dead?
