ok if its just lives, then leaderboard is probably the easiest.
if your going to have like deaths and all that use a multiboard.

for a leaderboard:

create a variable array called Lives[12]
set it to the amount you want
and then have two triggers. one to create it and one to reduce the lives as a player dies.

To create:

Events:
Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
Conditions:
Actions:
Leaderboard - Create a leaderboard for (All players) titled Lives
Player Group - Pick every player in (All players controlled by a User player) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Leaderboard - Add (Picked player) to (Last created leaderboard) with label (Name of (Picked player)) and value Lives[(Player number of (Picked player))]
Leaderboard - Show (Last created leaderboard)

To sort, remove lives and revive:

Events:
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions:
(Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to "The Hero"
Actions:
Set Lives[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Lives[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] - 1)
Player Group - Pick every player in (All players controlled by a User player) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Leaderboard - Change the value for (Picked player) in (Last created leaderboard) to Lives[(Player number of (Picked player))]
Leaderboard - Sort (Last created leaderboard) by Value in Descending order
Wait 5.00 seconds
-------- Depending on how you revive the hero --------
Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Random point in (Playable map area)), Show revival graphics
Selection - Select (Reviving Hero) for (Owner of (Dying unit))
Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Dying unit)) to (Position of (Reviving Hero)) over 0.01 seconds

sorry if this is hard to read, i will attactch a map if neccessary.

I get stuck at this point: how do i make it '- 1' and not '-1'?
I want it to reduce the number of lives by 1, not set it to -1

 

[helpmeplease]

you need to make it arithmatic then select what it says there

 

[xz-master]

you need to make it arithmatic then select what it says there

How do i do that? :banghead:

 

[Inflicted]

well what your doing is taking the lives variable and subtracting one.

" Set Lives [(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Lives[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] - 1) "

this doesnt set it, it reduces.

 

[Inflicted]

ok i will list steps

-new action
-set variable
-select lives
-set index[] to "Player - Player Number
-set the player to Owner of Unit
-set that to Event Response - Dying Unit

then press ok a few times

-then click on the red text value, next to the equals sign
-find arithmetic
-value:
{ -select lives
-set index[] to "Player - Player Number
-set the player to Owner of Unit
-set that to Event Response - Dying Unit } this again
-then change the arithmetic sign to subtract/minus (-)

then just hit ok a few times.

hope this helped.
