System Multiboard (Wrapper)

[Darthfett]

ok thanks man
Edit: ok I got the above but how would I call that multiboard in another trigger? set the multiboard to a global instead of a local var?

If you want to use the multiboard outside of that trigger, that would be the most logical thing to do, yes.

Just a question, is this more useful than jBoard?

It's made for a different reason than jBoard. This was made to create a simple interface, and to make it easier to avoid using MultiboardItems. It's made to be efficient, and to avoid all the bloat that comes with additional features.

Okay. :thup:

[EDIT]
Eh..
I got it working now =)

My problem now, is this..

When I try to change the display of Column: 2, Row: 2..
Column: 1, Row: 0 gets changed, too..
It's queer

call mb.setItemValue(LeakC, Row<i>, I2S(Leaks<i>))</i></i>

i = 0
LeakC = 2
Row[0] = 2

I have to add in, [lJASS]call mb.setItemValue(1,0,"|cffffa500Kills")[/lJASS] or it will be changed to [lJASS]I2S(Leaks)[/lJASS] as well.. =/

demo map, please.
or at least code an example.
why so many resources without examples, anyway?

 

[SineCosine]

I would upload the map, but..
Err..
I can't seem to, I need to delete my other uploaded 'maps'..
And I don't remember which threads have these maps that must be deleted =x

(I have reached the upload limit, lol)
Do you know how I can find the stuff that I have to remove? o.0

[EDIT]
Ahh..
Never mind, figured it out, there ya' go! =)
The problem is at:
Core Functions -> When Creep Enters Goal

The code is here:

library EnterGoal requires CAL, Spawn, Multiboard
    
    globals
        private constant string RedeemE = "Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\Awaken\\Awaken.mdl"
    endglobals
    
    private function GRAct takes nothing returns nothing
        local integer i = -1
        local boolean b = false

        loop
        exitwhen i == 4
        exitwhen b == true
        set i = i + 1
        
            if GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) == Tribe<i> then
                set b = true
            endif
        
        endloop
        call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(i), 0, 0, &quot;You have leaked a creep!&quot;)
        call CreateEffectTimed(RedeemE, GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit()), GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit()), 3.00)
        call GroupRemoveUnit(MonsterGroup<i>, GetTriggerUnit())
        set Leaks<i> = Leaks<i> + 1
        call ClearUnit(GetTriggerUnit())
        
        //If I do not add call mb.setItemValue(1,0,&quot;|cffffa500Kills&quot;) after this, it will change it to the value of Leaks<i>, test the map in-game and purposefully leak a creep to see it xD
        call mb.setItemValue(LeakC, Row<i>, I2S(Leaks<i>))
    endfunction

    private function GRCond takes nothing returns boolean
        if IsUnitInGroup(GetTriggerUnit(), MonsterGroup[0]) == true then
            return true
        endif
        
        if IsUnitInGroup(GetTriggerUnit(), MonsterGroup[1]) == true then
            return true
        endif
        
        if IsUnitInGroup(GetTriggerUnit(), MonsterGroup[2]) == true then
            return true
        endif
        
        if IsUnitInGroup(GetTriggerUnit(), MonsterGroup[3]) == true then
            return true
        endif
        
        return false
    endfunction

    function GoalReach takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
        
        call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(t, EndPoint[1], null)
        call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(t, EndPoint[2], null)
        
        call TriggerAddCondition(t, Condition(function GRCond))
        call TriggerAddAction(t, function GRAct)
    endfunction
    
endlibrary

And the map is here:

oh, thanks. nice to see you got the multiboard figured out for your map. i think the jboard one was easier to understand, until i got to the point where i was confused about how to update the multiboard.

 

[SineCosine]

I don't think my example is good to learn from ._.
It has a bug with the Leaks part =/

And I sort of BS'd my way through the entire thing =x

Bump for this, because I have a question:
Why do you make all the functions take columns first, then rows? o.0

I thought that matrices and anything like it (like a multiboard) should takes rows, then colums?

The original idea behind it was to have a Multiboard that had an interface nearly identical to the original, but removing the pointless multiboarditem stuff. If you can use the original multiboard interface, it should be very simple to transfer over, and you can directly transfer knowledge from a multiboard tutorial to this one.

I believe the original reason was because the natives did so. I'm actually working on a sortable multiboard, which may a more logical interface, and during the release I may update this one. They will be separate systems, though.

 

[SineCosine]

Looking forward to it =)
I'm already using your Multiboard wrapper and it's been very useful.

setRowCount is broken: it increases the amount of rows, but their values aren't modifiable.
