Needing a multiboard code

[sionts]

Anyone got multiboard trigger codes with kills and deaths. The dota template isn't helping me. The more players are playing the more the player naems exceed the multiboard box. Basically the box wont incrase size when the more players are playing, well this is what happens with the dota template multiboard.

 

[AceHart]

The DotA Template creates a multiboard of size "6 + PlayersCount",
where PlayersCount is the number of players in the player group "Players",
set to all players that are "is playing".

It always has the correct size.

You probably just missed an action or two.

Care to post your multiboard setup (all of it)?

Thought i'd give you the whole thing, just incase i might come accross any other annoying things.

Okay, my map has 2 teams each team has 6 players. Also when you select a hero and passive hero dies in the hero select terrain it goes to the triggering players score '1 kill'.

The main thing is, the multiboard size doesnt get any bigger if more players are playing. So the player names exceed the multiboard box.

> Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 4 columns and (6 + Player_Count) rows, titled Hero Team Arena

Well, "Player_Count" is never set to any value. At least not in the triggers posted.


You should do so, before the "Trigger - Run Create Multiboard <gen> (ignoring conditions)" action.

Something like "Set Player_Count = Number of Players in East_Players + Number of Players in West_Players" (or "Set Player_Count = Number of Players in Active_Players").
Assuming those groups are already set up by then.
Actually, I would put that "set player_count" action after the actions that prepare those two groups.

 

[sionts]

Will this solve the multiboard not changing size?

 

[AceHart]

If you have all players in "Active_Players", just use that.

If not, start the right side with "Arithmetic", which should already be there, at the very top.

 

[sionts]

What action that prepares the 2 groups?

 

[AceHart]

Well, you are using, for example, "Player Group - Pick every player in East_Players".

So, I guess there actually are some players in "East_Players"?
It's a variable of type "player group", those start as empty groups.
And you need to put some players inside first before you can use it.

 

[sionts]

So i place the "set player_count = number of players in Active_player" under
"Set East_Players = (All players matching ((((Matching player) is in Active_Players) Equal to True) and (((Matching player) is an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True)))"

 

[AceHart]

For example, yes.
I would put it after the action that adds the players to "Active_Players".

There are some actions that put players into "Active_Players", right?

 

[sionts]

nah i kinda figured it would go under active_players. Would this fix the multiboard size? when more players are playing?

 

[sionts]

When i kill a player, the team score stays at zero it doesnt +1

i double posted -_-

 

[AceHart]

> Would this fix the multiboard size?

It should.
Though you would see it I guess...


For your team score, I'd suggest a little test:

After your "set east_players = ..." add:
Game - Display to (all players) the text: "East team:"
Pick every player in East_Players" and do
- Game - Display to (all players) the text: Name of (Picked player)

and, after the "set west_players = ..."
Game - Display to (all players) the text: "West team:"
Pick every player in West_Players" and do
- Game - Display to (all players) the text: Name of (Picked player)


Does it show the correct players? All of them? The comp too?

 

[sionts]

im not sure what to do with what you just gave me?

"Set East_Players = (All players matching ((((Matching player) is in Active_Players) Equal to True) and (((Matching player) is an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True)))" is in my "map initialization" trigger

im not sure what im suppose to do with


After your "set east_players = ..." add:
Game - Display to (all players) the text: "East team:"
Pick every player in East_Players" and do
- Game - Display to (all players) the text: Name of (Picked player)

and, after the "set west_players = ..."
Game - Display to (all players) the text: "West team:"
Pick every player in West_Players" and do
- Game - Display to (all players) the text: Name of (Picked player)

 

[AceHart]

The idea is that the map tells you what players it did put in what team.
To see if the teams actually have the players that are supposed to be in that team.

You can add it to "map init" if you want.
Though you must read somewhat faster since the text will disappear rather quickly.

Or make a new trigger, with the event "time - elapsed time is 2 seconds",
and show the teams in that trigger.

Or, just for starters, post all team lines you have, the one for "Active_Players", the one for "East_Players" and the one for "West_Players".
And, in the same order as they are in your triggers.

 

[sionts]

>Or, just for starters, post all team lines you have, the one for "Active_Players", the one for "East_Players" and the one for "West_Players".

-------- Set Player Groups --------
Set Active_Players = (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)))
Set Player_Count = (Number of players in Active_Players)
Set West_Players = (All players matching ((((Matching player) is in Active_Players) Equal to True) and (((Matching player) is an enemy of Player 7 (Green)) Equal to True)))
Set East_Players = (All players matching ((((Matching player) is in Active_Players) Equal to True) and (((Matching player) is an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True)))

I this what you wanted?

 

[AceHart]

Unfortunately, this looks correct.

Hm...


> When I kill a player, the team score stays at zero it doesn't +1

And, does your own score change?

 

[sionts]

yeah the players score does change.

By the way, it showed west teams and east teams text but it didnt show "worldedit"

 

[AceHart]

Hm... all of this sounds very weird.
There must be some small detail somewhere I'm missing.

Here's a once-in-a-lifetime offer:
Post your map, and I'll have a look.
