Staredit Network -> UMS Assistance -> Problem with a death counter

I'm trying to use a death counter to time a leaderboard properly (you know how they cycle through different ones) but it doesn't work. The unit is dieing and everything, but it doesn't work. Here's how the trigger goes:

CODE

Deaths(P8, AtMost, 100, LEADERBOARD);
Deaths(P8, AtLeast, 1, LEADERBOARD);

LeaderBoardControl(Men, "|-Army Size-|");
LeaderBoardComputerPlayers(Disable);
PreserveTrigger();
Comment("Leaderboard 1");

Deaths(P8, AtMost, 200, LEADERBOARD);
Deaths(P8, AtLeast, 101, LEADERBOARD);

LeaderBoardKills(AnyUnit, "|-Kills-|");
LeaderBoardComputerPlayers(Disable);
PreserveTrigger();
Comment("Leaderboard 2");

Deaths(P8, AtMost, 300, LEADERBOARD);
Deaths(P8, AtLeast, 201, LEADERBOARD);

LeaderBoardControl(Buildings, "|-Country Size-|");
LeaderBoardComputerPlayers(Disable);
PreserveTrigger();
Comment("Leaderboard 3");

Deaths(P8, Exactly, 300, LEADERBOARD);

SetDeaths(P8, SetTo, 0, LEADERBOARD);
PreserveTrigger();
Comment("Leaderboard 4");

All triggers are for Player 8. What's wrong?

You have to have a trigger that constantly adds deaths.

I have a trigger that says create unit, then kill it (the LEADERBOARD unit) and I know that works fine.

Does the killing of this unit count as a death?

I assume you have a trigger that is like:

Trigger

Players:

¤ Any player

Conditions:

¤ Player X has at least 0 deaths of UNIT.

¤ Player X has at most 300 deaths of UNIT.

Actions:

¤ Add 1 death for Player X of UNIT.

¤ Preserve trigger.

Obviously it wont work without that.

And you may want to change "Deaths(P8, Exactly, 300, LEADERBOARD);" to "Deaths(P8, At least, 300, LEADERBOARD);" although I don't know if it will fix your problem.

ADDITION:

No. Use the trigger I posted above.

Killing of a unit with triggers does not add to the killed unit's deaths nor the player's kills of that unit.

Ok, thanks, I'll try the trigger that devlin mentioned.
