'Map Init' is during the loading screen. Therefore, you must display dialog buttons, leaderboards, and multiboards AFTER the game starts. Use event - Elapsed game time is 5 seconds (or whatever).

For dialog boxes, you need
-->Variable for the box
-->Variable for every button

Then you must
-->Define all the buttons using variables
-->Create the box using variable
-->SHOW the dialog box to players.

Then use the event 'Dialog box button is clicked'
-->If (button clicked) equal to this button
-->If (button clicked) equal to that button
-->If (button clicked) equal to other button button

Do search for 'dialog boxes', we do have many many posts.

ah sweet im getting it now thank you very much ryoko.

sorry for not looking hard enough for a thread like this i guess theres just too many heh .

im use to triggers from SC there so much more simple.

Then use the action 'Dialog box button is clicked'

What he meant to say was event, just to make sure there's no confusion.

Perhaps you would consider making into a formal tutorial, with a couple pictures.

We do not have a dialog tutorial yet...

 

[Tigore]

[AceHart]

Good to see the tutorial site gets some visits...

I visited it. My brain is too cramped at the moment to consider how to make "pages" in a dialog. Thanks
