Use a variable (either an array, one for each player, or a variable for each player) to keep track of lives, and when a unit enters the region, set it to itself - 1. Then just have a seperate trigger the organizes the leaderboard, and set the values for the players to their lives. (Try searching the tutorials and threads to find out how to make a leaderboard). Then do something that says something like: Warning - (Lives_Left) Lives Remaining!

DDRtists, that would cause major lag from the periodic events. Try making his Trigger A run Triggers B and D. That way it would only run when a unit entered the end.

i just fixed that right after i posted it, ya it makes it lag a little, but not much...

No it wouldn't.
Only reason it might lag is from the group leaks.

Use

Call DestroyGroup(GetLastCreatedGroup())
After your pick every unit action.

 

[DDRtists]

Call DestroyGroup(GetLastCreatedGroup())
After your pick every unit action.

What does this do, i see this alot but never figured out what it does

 

[Im_On_56k]

Each time you use pick every unit action, it creates a group but never removes it. So after awhile you will have a ton of unused groups, causing lag to the map.

call DestroyGroup(GetLastCreatedGroup()) will remove the group that was created.
