Shopmenus?

[BrokenX]

Hehe, i got this idea, yes, again. What if i made a dialog, so when a hero types -shopmenu, it makes a dialog with items they can buy telling them the price beside it? Would that be cool you think? Sort of like Counter-strike in those warcraft3 mods.

Personally, I think it depends on what you're playing. In some maps it would be awesome, but in my map, for instance, it would be unfair for a player to buy items anywhere but at a shop. I think it would be especially good in DOTA-type games. Great idea!

Well i am making an AoS, that is where I thought i would use it . So yes :/ it is sort of cool, cause you can buy items without having to go back. Non-stop killing lol.

I think that having to go back in town to shop just balances the game a little, so this way when a hero is really alot stronger than the others, while he shops it gives the others time to kill and get some gold. But it's a good idea still, even though you'd need a huge dialog O_O

Theres nothing huger then the dialog i already have made, so they can choose from 18 heroes at the start. Its about, page and a half long of trigger, just to show the dialog.


Having some difficulty making the buttons show, I created two buttons to test it, but they don't show for some reason?

You've got to have a dialog variable. You've got to chain in the dialog button variables with the dialog, and then you have to show the dialog.

It's not too hard to do actually. With the power of strings you can simplify your whole dialog box if you have a whole bunch of string/integer variables set several seconds into the game.

The order in which you create the box, the buttons, then add buttons the box, and show, it very important.

If its not in the right order, like you show it first, it may not work.

See tutorial.

As a matter-of-fact, this should/will work. It's tedious I know, but it will be cool in the game.

In case you're wondering why TheShoppe has that interesting condition, it's because you can activate this even before you choose your avatar, and most likely the game will crash or get confused when you tell it to create an item and give it to nobody. So, the menu won't activate until your dude is chosen.

Also, I was lazy on the events here. TheShoppe needs every player who has a hero to have it as an event. I only set it to player red because I didn't feel like adding in all the other 9 to 11 players.

I also noticed I left out an exit button. I may add one to these triggers in the future, but it is quite simple what you have to do. State one as exit and put it on every menu. Then, if it doesn't quit the menu already when you press the button (nothing's going to happen in ShoppeButtonClick), you can tell it to hide ShopMenus[0] through all the other ShopMenus.

ShopMenus -- Dialog Array for how many different pages of menu you want.
MenuButtons -- Dialog Button Array for the number of buttons on all of your menus totaled up.
Hero -- Unit Array for the number of players. He's the dude who will receive this crud, so set him as your chosen avatar.
