You need two triggers for this.
I don't know why it works, but it does. If you change the 6 seconds to 3 seconds, make sure you change how long the wait is, and set the second trigger's condition to 3 seconds.
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| The first scoreboard |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ always |
| Actions: |
| ¤ display the gold scoreboard |
| ¤ wait 6,000 milliseconds |
| ¤ presever trigger |
| ¤ comment (if you want one) |

Using wait blocks throughout the entire map is not suggested, I would use death counters instead.
Edit:
*hypers must be enabled
if player suffers at least 1 'counter'
--
subtract 1 ' counter' of unit for player
preserve
(always count down when there is an amount)
computer player suffers exactly 0 'counter' of unit
computer player suffers exactly 0 'leaderboard number'
--
display leaderboard #1
modify death count for player to 60 of 'counter'
modify death count for player set to 1 for 'leaderboard number
preserve trigger
(The above trigger will run at the start of the map, and display the first leaderboard, then set the counter to 60 (which is 5 seconds game time) then set the next leaderboard to be displayed)
computer player suffers exactly 0 'counter' of unit
computer player suffers exactly 1 'leaderboard number'
--
display leaderboard #2
modify death count for player to 60 of 'counter'
modify death count for player set to 2 for 'leaderboard number'
preserve trigger
(You can do this with however many leaderboards you want and whenever you wanna go back to the first one set leaderboard # to 0)

Using long waits is usually a bad idea. I would suggest doing something with death counters, but it doesn't have to be as complicated as killer's (but his will certainly work). Here's the trimmed-down version:
All you need is a counter that is always increasing:
Conditions:
Always
Actions:
Add 1 to deaths of "leaderboard counter" for some player
preserve trigger
And then set different leaderboards when it gets to a certain value:
Conditions:
Some player has exactly X deaths of "leaderboard counter"
Actions:
Show some leaderboard
preserve trigger
Conditions:
Some player has exactly Y deaths of "leaderboard counter"
Actions:
Show some other leaderboard
preserver trigger
And then a trigger to set the counter back to 0:
Conditions:
Some player has at least Z deaths of "leaderboard counter"
Actions:
Show first leaderboard
Set deaths for "leaderboard counter" for some player to 0
preserve trigger
The advantages of this are that there are no waits, you can easily extend it to as many leaderboards as you wish, and you can easily tailor the length that each one is shown for by setting X and Y to different values. The one downside is that the lengths won't be intuitive; you'll have to set them by trial and error.
(I just realized that this is pretty much identical to Farty's last method. His uses fewer triggers too)

Using hypers, you'll add 12 deaths a second. Using normal triggers, it'll be one death every ~1.5 seconds.

If your going to use hypertriggers with my meathod, make sure they are owned by a player that does use any waits (such as the computer), or they are at the bottom of the trigger list for a player.

I actually doubt this is in the tips and tricks section or quick question section. I've asked this before but never really understood how anyone explained it. I will ask one more time in hopes that I will finally understand it.
How do you make it so the "Custom Score" can have two different values (or even 3)? One would be gold, and another would be time (the time would possibly be broken up into days and hours). So I hace a custom score for time and a custom score for gold.

You can use differant scoreboards like mentioned above but the custom score only holds one value per player. You can't have it display 3

There are very many lesser-informed people on sen. Not to mention the fact that normal paths are always taken, and are never swayed upon. I always go here to ask questions, so im blind to other methods of information/
Besides, it was a quick question.
And bolt, I was too impressed by the "complex triggering" in your map to have noticed the simplicity of the "Greed" Leaderboard.
