Dialog

[Mind]

I tried to make a dialog, and assumed that you didn't actually had to "create" a dialog, since there's no "create dialog window" option. So I wrote a "show dialog" action that was supposed to show the non-existing dialog (variable).

Err, that didn't work.

 

[Mind]

*cough* Is anyone bright enough to answer this question?

 

[sATARa]

When you say dialog, are you talking about dialogs as in dialog button dialogs?
If so, you need to create a dialog variable and then run the action
Dialog - Change the title of TheDialog to "Text goes here"
And then show your dialog when needed with an action
Dialog - Show TheDialog for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
You need to hide it also when you want.

You can also attach buttons to these dialogs... This might be useful when you want to hide the dialog

 

[Mind]

How odd… That's EXACTLY what I did. :-/

There must be something wrong with the events or conditions.

Dialog Conversation Trigger Code.

What's wrong?

DOH

Your calling the function to SHOW the dialog before you have it all defined.

 

[Mind]

I did because sATARa told me to. Before he did, the "show dialog action" was placed after the "change title" action.

So, it still doesn't work. Perhaps it's an improvement, but it still doesn't work.

Here, I made a small example map for ya.
I used lightning shield for the talk ability, cause i was in a hurry. But still i think you`ll find this useful

 

[Mind]

That didn't help at all.
Perhaps I should just delete those conversation triggers and find an alternate way to conversate.

 

[sATARa]

Ehhh, what do you mean it didnt help? It works

 

[Mind]

I coppied the actions and pasted them in my map. It didn't work.

Bizarre.

Edit: Bah! The only thing wrong about my trigger was the event: "Unit FINISHES an ability".

Goddamn, bug-infested World Editor! I wish I could download the World Editor sATARa recommended to use.

The text doesn't fit on the dialog anyway, so I'll just delete the conversation dialog triggers…
