Creating a timed dialog box

[Zaraf]

I want to have dialog boxes for red player, that if he doesn't click on it within 10 seconds, it defaults to one of the options. I've tried various things, but they don't seem to work Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks!

        Set Difficulty_Button[5] = (Last created dialog Button)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 9, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing
                    Then - Actions
                        Dialog - Show Difficulty_Dialog for (Player((Integer A)))
                        Wait 30.00 Seconds
                        Dialog - Hide Difficulty_Dialog for (Player((Integer A)))
                        Skip remaining actions
                    Else - Actions

This is used for setting the lives you have, and if no button is pressed, the value isn't changed. (It's 25 from the start)

You could make so that when a dialogbutton is pressed, a boolean variable becomes false, and if it's false after the 30 second wait, hide the dialog and then do whatever you want to do.

Hmmm...while this might be able to work for me, it would be quite messy....displaying multiple messages and stuff like that. Is there a way to check condition wise if a dialog button has been pressed or not? So that the script runs ONLY if the dialog button has NOT been pressed?

You could create a boolean and set it to true, and then when a dialog button is pressed you set it to false. That way you can check if a button has been pressed.
