Going insane trying to figure out why this isn't working. I can only get my leaderboard to open and close if I do it for All Players, anyother value I use....is ignored. I have a custom open/close button setting on top of an image. The button is set to 100% transparency. The button works, here is the actions in the Map Initialization trigger that sets up the button.

        Dialog - Create a Modal dialog of size (300, 150) at (0, 40) relative to Top of screen
        Variable - Set Leaderboard DialogUI Image = (Last created dialog)
        Dialog - Show (Last created dialog) for (All players)
        Dialog - Hide the background image of Leaderboard DialogUI Image
        Dialog - Create an image for dialog (Last created dialog) with the dimensions (300, 150) anchored to Center with an offset of (0, 0) setting the tooltip to "" using the image SCStuff\SCStuff\DB13LeaderBoardUI.tga as a Normal type with tiled set to False tint color Gray and blend mode Normal
        Dialog - Set (Last created dialog item) Accept Mouse flag to True for (All players)
        Dialog - Create a button for dialog (Last created dialog) with the dimensions (180, 50) anchored to Top with an offset of (-10, 50) setting the tooltip to "" with button text "" and the hover image set to ""
        Variable - Set Leaderboard Button = (Last created dialog item)
        Dialog - Fade Leaderboard Button to a transparency of 100.0% over a period of 0.0 seconds for (All players)
        Dialog - Show (Last created dialog item) for (All players)

Now here is the trigger for the button control. At one point I had a boolean set up to deal with open and closing check and it worked fine (so long as it show/hid for All players). But when I tried to set it up to only open/close for specific players, nothing happens.

Open/Close Leaderboard
    Events
        Dialog - Any Dialog Item is used by Player Any Player with event type Clicked
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (Used dialog item) == Leaderboard Button
    Actions
        Leaderboard - Hide all leaderboards for (Player group((Triggering player)))

Here is the leaderboard trigger

Create
    Events
        Game - Map initialization
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Leaderboard - Create a leaderboard with 2 columns and 5 rows, with the name "", and using (100%, 100%, 100%) color.
        Variable - Set Killboard = (Last created leaderboard)
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 1 and row 1 to (Name of player 1)
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text color at column 1 and row 1 to (Color((Current player 1 color)))
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 1 and row 2 to (Name of player 2)
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text color at column 1 and row 2 to (Color((Current player 2 color)))
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 1 and row 3 to (Name of player 3)
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text color at column 1 and row 3 to (Color((Current player 3 color)))
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 1 and row 4 to (Name of player 4)
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text color at column 1 and row 4 to (Color((Current player 4 color)))
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 2 and row 1 to (Text(Kills[0]))
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 2 and row 2 to (Text(Kills[1]))
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 2 and row 3 to (Text(Kills[2]))
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 2 and row 4 to (Text(Kills[3]))
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 1 and row Header to "Player"
        Leaderboard - Set (Last created leaderboard) item text at column 2 and row Header to "Kills"
        Leaderboard - Hide Killboard minimize button for (All players)

I have no idea wtf is going on. Changing (Player group((Triggering player))) to All Players and it works, anything else and I get nothing.

Firstly you are creating a Dialog leaderboard in the first trigger then you are trying to hide a "leaderboard" in the second trigger, so you need to use the Hide dialog "leaderboard", if that makes sense

There are 2 types of leaderboards, one is the leaderboard which is simple and generic and then there are dialog made ones that you can customize a lot further and add more functionality.

No Im not. The first bit of triggers I posted is part of my custom UI. It is basically an image I made in photoshop with a transparent dialog item(button) on top of the image. The button dialog is basically my open/close button for the leaderboard. I understand how you could have gotten mixed up though as I completely forgot to post my leaderboard trigger.

Also, the UI just so works out that I can hide the leaderboard title, so minimizing and maximizing works fine for now. Odd how show/hide still doesn't work. Is there a way to disable the leaderboard title?

Can you change the action "hide all leaderboards" to "hide killboard for triggering player"?

I am just curious as to the result

I've tried both setting it to triggering player and player group(1), both without any changes....a new bug perhaps?!? Oh, also, the default leaderboard doesn't allow me to change "all leaderboards" to any other variable. It will only show "Hide/Show all leaderboards" with no option to change the variable leaderboard....even though I have the leaderboard saved in a variable.

Wow, wtf...finally solved the problem. As it stands, you CAN NOT show/hide a leaderboard for an individual player. However, you can minimize for an individual player. In order for it to look like its hidden you have to disable the title.

Leaderboard - Disable Show Title state for Killboard for (All players)

Now, when you do the following trigger

Leaderboard - Minimize Killboard for (Player group(1))

It looks as if you have hidden the leaderboard.
