[SOLVED] Experience System
Looking for a Exsperience system without Death Counters, for two reasons:One, I would like it to not be shared experience. Two, I cannot use death counters due to the fact that I'll be having those units die via triggers quite oftenly, which would interfere with the experience system. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
You can use death counters for a computer player or you can use death counters for units that will not be used such as different power ups, mineral chunks/fields, unused buildings, critters, and other neutral units. And to keep track of experience of kills, you can use kill scores and razings. Here is a kill score database:
You can then subtract the kill score / razings and set a custom score or set a custom death counter for the player that is gaining the experience.

None.
Even units like Cantina, Cave-in? Use SCMDraft2, they are more units.

I don't see why you're trying to avoid death counters. Are you talking about how you'd actually keep track of who killed what? If that's the case, you should look into the Kills to Cash wiki article (and replace "cash" with "experience") paired with the kill scores Mouse posted earlier.

You can the many units that SCMDraft has that could never die, such as Cave, Cave-in, Cantina, Vespene Geyser, Minerals, Mining Platform, etc... Those are all indestructible 'units' that you can't kill in-game, and I highly doubt you would need any reason to kill a mineral formation or vespene geyser via triggers.

Killing units via triggers does not modify the deaths count. And even if it did you know by how much since you wrote the trigger and thus you could compensate with a subtract deaths action.

If you REALLY don't want to use death counters, you can use Custom Points. Plus, you can display Custom Points in a leaderboard. They aren't automatically shared, if you give 10 Custom Points to Player 1, the other players in his force won't get any unless you use triggers to even out the experience. Voila.
I think this may be the one numeric thing where death counters actually are not the best system to choose, because you can display custom points in a leaderboard directly. This is actually one of those extremely rare things blizzard had the foresight to add to the game that we mappers didn't need to figure out for ourselves.

I'm confused...For example the way I was referring to was:
Player 8 has suffered atleast 1 deaths of (unit)
Add 2 Custom score.
Set to 0 for deaths of (unit)
Preserve Trigger.
And since Player 8 is the only enemy, that would happen for every player. when I would want it to happen for each player each time they get the kill.

This is what you want. replace "cash" with experience and you get the same result. Store exp in an unused death counter like cantina.
While this is technically all true, you can also display kills of extended units (add 228 to the unit's ID) to display deaths on the leaderboard. So there really is no difference between custom score and death counters, except that death counters can be named (though this is a waste of a string IMO)
This is one of those things that I really wish it did. We have no way to change kill count directly via triggers. If we did, we could make kills to cash truly perfect. Even if we just killed a unit via triggers, that would fix all our problems.

"Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman - do we have to call the Gentleman a gentleman if he's not one?"
Something like this suffice?
Right now this is just set up to use kills. However, if you want points to add for both kills and buildings then you would switch "kills" to "kills and razings"
