Requesting A Favor from a good multiboarder...

[Husky]

Hi,
Okay my map is pretty much done except that I need a favor from a multiboard.
I have one on my map but i'm not exactly sure how to get it how I like.
Anyway what i want to happen is when someone is tagged (note: only one person is it at one time) they get time added to their total time.
And after about X time whoever has the least time is the winner.

So what i was palnning to do was e-mail or post it up and they could fix it up quick so the BETA would be ready for release tonight or tomorrow morning.

So if anyone wants to help they will get full credits for their work and it would make me a happy man.
Thanks,
-Husky

I made a map to show one way to do it. If you dont understand you can upload your map here and I am sure that some one help you.

And it is always better to show that you have tested some ways to do it before you ask for something. I think people is more helpfull if the see that you have put som work into it.

Well it knida worked.
I got it so that Player1's time counts up but when he tags another player their time doesn't change and Player 1's just keeps counting up.
I think it would be easier if I just mailed it to someone and they could please fix it up for me.
It shouldn't take to long, so it would be so great if you could.

...they will get full credits for their work....

Also, are you looking for help with beta-testing?

Okay the triggers, these were from phrex1ans map:

TRIGGER 1:
Init Multi
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.10 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions

Well that's it. I'm guessing most of you will spot problems staright away.

Silverhawk - As for BETA testing the map will be posted up and yes, I do want people to test it.

Any ideas?

I think the problem is that TagPlayer is always player 1. Somehow you need to switch it when appropriate.

 

[Husky]

Well what do you think I should set it too?

 

[Rinpun]

Well I'll tell you one thing right up front.

You don't need the initialization.

Go to your variables and you can SET them to an initial value (sometimes). It saves a lot of work.

TagPlayer? If you're doing tag and stuff like that, you will want to switch the tagger player to a different player--perhaps the last captured (use a boolean array variable IsCaptured).

Seeing i'm no good with multiboards cold I just send it to someone and they fix it up for me? Sorry, I just really want this map out ASAP.

 

[phyrex1an]

Well what do you think I should set it too?

It depends on how your unit is being tagged
If it is by an ability:
TagPlayer = Owner of(Target of ability being cast)

And I think your multiboard is working fine. The only probles is to change TagPlayer when it is supposed to change.

Post how your units is being tagged.
