Time variable to Multiboard

[Giho]

Im making a map and I want a time variable (a timer that counts down) to show up in the multiboard instead of using a time window.Now i only have so it show how long time it gona take until the hero revive.
I have this now:
revive hero
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
((Dying unit) has an item of type Ankh of Reincarnation) Equal to False
Actions
If ((Owner of (Killing unit)) Not equal to Neutral Hostile) then do (Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((player_colors[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + (Name of (Owner of (Killing unit)))) + ( Killed + ((player_colors[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + (Name of (Owner of (Triggering uni else do (Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((player_colors[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + (Name of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))) + |r Dies To Creeps))
Set hero_wait = ((Hero level of (Dying unit)) x 5)
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] to (String(hero_wait))
Wait (Real(hero_wait)) seconds
If ((Owner of (Dying unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) then do (Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of human hero revive <gen>), Show revival graphics) else do (Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of undead hero revive <gen>), Show revival graphics)
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row ((Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit))) + 1) to OnL

And i would like to make the hero_wait variable to count down for the owner of the dying unit in the multiboard. Or that a time variable or somthing shows in the multiboard and count down.

I would be very happy if someone could help me with this problem.

You could try a repeating timer that goes off every second. Then you could subtract one from the variable and update the text on the multiboard. You would just have to check for when the variable got to zero, and then do whatever else you wanted.

Thanks

Thanks! I got it to work. I dont know if I did like u said (I didnt get all of it). But I got ideas out of it and now it works thx a lot!

hmm... problems again

Hi! I solved my problem but when two heroes dies at the same time, the timer for the last hero stops. And I would like the timer to work for both at the same time. I use two triggers for the revive and clock.

revive hero
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        ((Dying unit) has an item of type Ankh of Reincarnation) Equal to False
    Actions
        Set hero = (Dying unit)
        Set hero_wait = ((Hero level of (Dying unit)) x 5)
        Set timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = hero_wait
        Trigger - Turn on timer update <gen>
        Wait (Real(hero_wait)) seconds
        If ((Owner of (Dying unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) then do (Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of human hero revive <gen>), Show revival graphics) else do (Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of undead hero revive <gen>), Show revival graphics)

timer update
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (timer[(Player number of (Owner of hero))] Equal to 0) then do (Set timer[(Player number of (Owner of hero))] = 0) else do (Set timer[(Player number of (Owner of hero))] = (timer[(Player number of (Owner of hero))] - 1))
        If (timer[(Player number of (Owner of hero))] Equal to 0) then do (Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Player number of (Owner of hero))] to stats[(Player number of (Owner of hero))]) else do (Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Player number of (Owner of hero))] to (String(timer[(Player number of (Owner of hero))])))

Im sorry that I didnt get what u mean (maybe beacause Im a noob in world editor). :banghead:
But I would be very glad if someone could solve this problem (even if i must make whole new trigger).
All help are gladly received!

And by the way Im new here. :shades:

 

[the Lumpy]

So you want to make a separate timer for all the heroes that die?

 

[Giho]

Yes

Yes thats correct. Im sorry that I sound a bit confusing.
But that thats right I want a timer in the Multiboard that works for for each player (my game is for 12 players ^^).

Ok, since you allredy know how to use arrays here is some tips:

1. Save the hero of each player in a unit array at the index for the owning player

2 General layout of your triggers:

revive hero
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        ((Dying unit) has an item of type Ankh of Reincarnation) Equal to False
    Actions
        Set timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = ((Hero level of (Dying unit)) x 5)

timer update
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        timer[(Integer A)] Greater than 0
                    Then - Actions
                        Set timer[(Integer A)] = (timer[(Integer A)] - 1)
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                timer[(Integer A)] Equal to 0
                            Then - Actions
                                Hero - Instantly revive Hero[(Integer A)] at (Center of (Playable map area)), Hide revival graphics
                                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Integer A)] to stats[(Integer A)]
                            Else - Actions
                                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Integer A)] to (String(timer[(Integer A)]))
                    Else - Actions
                        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Integer A)] to stats[(Integer A)]

like this?

1. Save the hero of each player in a unit array at the index for the owning player

Like this?

Set hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] =(Dyingunit)

then I need a unit in the unit when i use it in another trigger (because intreger A doesnt work there and i need a unit)

timer[(Player number of (Owner of hero[(Integer A)]))] Greater than 0

Anyway it worked , but not for two heroes , and I suppose it because it cant be intreger A after hero in the other trigger ,but I cant have player number of owner of hero after hero either.

ok here we go again sry

 

[Heptameron]

Like this?

Set hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] =(Dyingunit)

You've got the idea. But you have to do that when the Hero is created, not when it dies.

 

[phyrex1an]

Do every player have more than 1 hero? If they have this is not going to work. Else that is the exact triggers. (One of the ways)

And as Heptameron (Ctrl + C) says you have to set the hero array when you create the hero for each player, or if they are preplaced at map init.

How such a trigger will look since we dont know how the players get there units in your map.

For the last time

Thanks! it works now. I saw that the timer didnt showed up when I tested the map for my self (stupid me ) , but when I tested the map for more players it worked. And I think it is because intreger A are set to be between 1 to 12,and thats what it should be because my map are for 12 players.
I must say that u are amasing (some minor changes to my trigger and a lot easier to understand) Wow!!!
Greatjob!

 

[Tryingtohelp]

actually computers count 0 as a number so it maybe should be set for 0 to 11 you might want to try that but i don't know im new to editor thats just what you do in computer programming.

 

[Heptameron]

actually computers count 0 as a number so it maybe should be set for 0 to 11 you might want to try that but i don't know im new to editor thats just what you do in computer programming.

In this case, there's no player 0 (from the editor's point of view), though that'd be right in Jass.

ohh

As I sad it worked for 12 players, but when you are playing 1v1 2v2 3v3 4v4 or 5v5 the stats or timer dont showup, but the hero revieves after the time hero.lv *5. I tested the map for only me but nothing showedup but my hero revived after the correct time, then I changed intreger A to 1 to 1, then all showedup and worket.So I changed Intreger A to 1 to the last players number. So when I played the map with my friends (2v2) the stats only showed up for my two friend who was player 7 and 8. When it was blank for me and my other friend who was player 1 and 2.
the trigger looks like this:

 timer update
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        timer[(Integer A)] Greater than 0
                    Then - Actions
                        Set timer[(Integer A)] = (timer[(Integer A)] - 1)

                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                timer[(Integer A)] Equal to 0
                            Then - Actions
                                Hero - Instantly revive hero[(Integer A)] at ((Owner of hero[(Integer A)]) start location), Show revival graphics
                                Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of hero[(Integer A)]) to ((Owner of hero[(Integer A)]) start location) over 1.00 seconds
                                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Integer A)] to stats[(Integer A)]
                            Else - Actions
                                Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Integer A)] to (String(timer[(Integer A)]))
                    Else - Actions
                        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Integer A)] to stats[(Integer A)]

info: multiboard_spot(x) and stats(x) have these codes

Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching ((((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing) and (((Matching player) controller) Equal to User))) and do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Set multiboard_spots[(Player number of (Picked player))] = list 
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row list to (player_colors[(Player number of (Picked player))] + ((Name of (Picked player)) + |r))
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row list to OnL
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row list to (player_colors[(Player number of (Picked player))] + 0|r)
        Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 4, row list to (player_colors[(Player number of (Picked player))] + 0|r)
        Set list = (list + 1)

Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching ((((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing) and (((Matching player) controller) Equal to User))) and do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Set stats[(Player number of (Picked player))] = OnL
        Player - Add 5 to (Picked player) Food cap
        Player - Set (Picked player) Current gold to 500

Have the problem something to do that there are 2 teams?
Or doesnt multibord text work correctly in intreger loops?

Ohh this is my biggest problem (I cant play with fullhouse allways , it must work for less players also) :banghead:

 

[Giho]

hmm

I test to change like this

Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row multiboard_spots[(Player number of (Owner of hero[(Integer A)]))] to stats[(Player number of (Owner of hero[(Integer A)]))]

instead of use only intreger a, I changed to: player number of owner of hero IntregerA . And when I did that the stats showed up for right player even if I had intreger A to 1 to 12, But the timer didnt showedup when a hero died.
