What is a Voting System?
A voting system is a system run by dialogs and variables. A voting system can be used to create a fair kicking system, a way of fairly selecting modes and many more useful systems. There are at least 3 variables for the casting the vote, winning, and setting the difficulty for every difficulty. Also, 4 variables for the dialog box and buttons. For more tips for the this system, look at the tips and tricks located near the bottom of this post.
How do I make it?
Well first of all, I suggest you study dialog basics made by AceHart: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/dialogs.php
II:1 Making the buttons and dialog
This voting system is based for TD's.
Starting off, you will need 5 variables. Online_Players (As a player group); Players_User (As a player group also); Easy , Normal, and Hard (As a dialog button), and finally for the most important part, make a variable called Voting (as a Dialog)
Set Online_Players to this:
And Players_User to this:
Then we need to make the dialog box and the dialog buttons by doing this:
The variables will detect if a player is a user and if he or she is playing.
It should look like this so far:
II:2 Giving your Vote
Create 3 variables, EasyVote, NormalVote, and HardVote (real variables)
And then make three different triggers.
It should look something like this:
II:3 Winning Triggers
Make 3 variables, EasyDiff, NormalDiff, and HardDiff (all boolean)
Add some text saying that easy ,normal , and hard won and it should look like this:
II:4 Result Triggers
Well people may want to know how many votes a difficulty got so to make it, do this:
The empty string is only for spacing. It will make your Results look better....
It should look like this:
II:5 Difficulty Triggers
Time to give the modifiers!
Make a trigger similar to this:
You can modify the part where it says a unit enters Buff.
This is based off a TD map so you can change it so that you put a whole entire map under a region called buff.
Making the spells are easy. Make 3 similar spells to Spiked Carapace each having a different defense bonus.
III: Tips and Tricks
Other ways to use this system is to use different bonus effects and buffs. For example, you can do something like -20 speed for easy, 0 for normal, and +20 for hard. Giving color to your voting system makes it more appealing to the eye.

Thank you for looking at this tutorial.
Please note that the example map is not made in Jass NewGen because I am currently using version 1.22
