Hey. I got a problem with my leaderboard. I have a row to show how many units thats in a region. Let's say theres 12 units in the region and it will show 12 on the board, and if one more enter it goes up to 13. If he leaves it goes back to 12. But if he dies, it wont negative a value, so it will still show 13 and if he revive and go to the region again it will add again and so on. I've tried to add another trigger that says that if a unit dies in the region it will negative the number too but didnt work. Sorry if its hard to understand.

This would be the logical solution and should work, would you mind posting your triggers?

Another possibility would be to periodically count the units in the area and update the leaderboard accordingly.

@Lucyher: Go

So I assume you have two triggers set up like.... Unit Enters Region - Add 1, update leaderboard Unit Leaves Region - Subtract 1, update leaderboard

So then when a unit dies its not actually leaving the region, so it will not change the leaderboard. You could fix this by doing one of two things:

-First, make a trigger with Event - Unit Dies, Condition - Unit in Region (use triggering unit), Action-Update Leaderboard

-The other thing you could do is append this bit to your Unit Enters Region trigger after adding 1 to the leaderboard: do a Wait for Conditions. Have the condition be Unit Group Is Dead, covert the triggering unit to unit group OR Unit leaves region and then following that Wait you want to subtract 1 from the leaderboard again. Hope this helps.

@peranzormal: Go

I have 3 trigger, first one:

• event: any unit enters "region"
  
• condition:
  -or, owner of trigger unit 1, owner of trigger unit 2 etc
  

• actions:
  -variable - modify "unit in region"[triggering player] +1
  -leaderboard - set board item text at column 1 and row 1 to (text(unit in region[(triggering player)))

2nd:

event: any unit leaves "region"
condition:
-or, owner of trigger unit 1, owner of trigger unit 2 etc

• actions:
  -variable - modify "unit in region"[triggering player] -1
  -leaderboard - set board item text at column 1 and row 1 to (text(unit in region[(triggering player)))

3rd:

event: any unit dies
condition: and,
-unit attached to map = triggering unit
-or, owner of trigger unit 1, owner of trigger unit 2 etc

• actions:
  -variable - modify "unit in region"[triggering player] -1
  -leaderboard - set board item text at column 1 and row 1 to (text(unit in region[(triggering player)))

As I said, when a unit leaves a region it works fine, but when he is in the region and die it wont remove.

@yukaboy: Go

I tried to attach the unit I tested it with, still didnt work :(

@zeldarules28: Go

Cause i dont want all unit to count, only a few of the units you can choose should trigger it. I tried without that condition first but that didnt work either. I Will paste the triggers when im home from work.

Add the registered units entering the region to a unit group, remove leaving units. If a dying unit is in the group, reduce the score.

Thanks all. Fixed it finally.
