This is a trigger where two dialog boxes pop up at game start and do AR and Team pick (ffa or 2v2 or 6v6 options). The triggers for the modes work just fine. However, when I try to test this with more then one person, the AR dialoge box doesnt appear, only shows up for h half a second before team pick appears. In normal "test map" tests it works. Here are the triggers for it

JASS:
Dialog Setup
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for ModePick labelled None
        Set None = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for ModePick labelled All Random
        Set AllRandom = (Last created dialog Button)
        -------- Team pick --------
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for TeamPick labelled Free For All  
        Set FreeForAll = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for TeamPick labelled 2v2v2v2v2v2    
        Set twoVStwo = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for TeamPick labelled 3v3v3v3  
        Set ThreeVSthree = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for TeamPick labelled 4v4v4  
        Set FOURvsFOUR = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for TeamPick labelled 6v6
        Set SIXvsSIX = (Last created dialog Button)

The trigger itself is not jass. I need help to make this work.

Where in those triggers are you actually showing the dialog box to your players? I don't see it.

It shows to host (player red) or Admin, which is the variable. The triggers are TeamPick and ModePick for modes. The modes themselves work, its the dialog boxes for ModePick that dont show up. Team pick does but after modepick shows up for a half a sec. I still dont know why.

> Dialog - Show ModePick for Admin
> Wait 1.00 game-time seconds
> Dialog - Show TeamPick for Admin

In single-player ("test map" for example), dialogs pause the game. Completely.
As such, this 1 second wait will wait ... until the dialog is gone by clicking one of its buttons.

In multi-player though, the game goes on...
So, yes, it only shows for 1 second, then is replaced by the second.


Solution:
In the trigger that waits for a button of dialog 1, show dialog 2.

What do you mean? And wouldn't that hide the team pick option?
