ok well I can't figure this out but can someone give me an example of a race selection dialog box? I have the nerubians, mur'gul camp, the alliance, and the creep colony. when i tryed making it it just spawned one of each type of race and i added the condition of the variable into it and it still dont work.
 
You could post your "race" triggers here...

"the condition of the variable"? What's that? :)



The dialog itself seems pretty simple:
Code: 
ShowDialog
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.50 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Dialog - Clear DialogRace
        Dialog - Change the title of DialogRace to Race:
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for DialogRace labelled Alliance
        Set DialogAlliance = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for DialogRace labelled Creeps
        Set DialogCreeps = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for DialogRace labelled Murgul
        Set DialogMurguls = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for DialogRace labelled Nerubians
        Set DialogNerubians = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Show DialogRace for Player 1 (Red) ( <= repeat this for all players)

Couple variables:
DialogRace, of type "Dialog"
DialogAlliance/Creep/Murgul/Nerubians, of type "Dialog button"


Then, to do something with it:
Code: 
Alliance
    Events
        Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for DialogRace
    Conditions
        (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogAlliance
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Town Hall for (Triggering player) at ((Triggering player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees

The details of which depend on what starting units you want.


And three more for the other races.

I did that but it spawned all four type of races and not the one i picked. I did EXACTLY THAT and it still dont work.
 
You sure you didn't put all "create unit" in one trigger?
There are four different ones?
The conditions look for one button at a time?


Post it here...

I have 5 different triggers to make this happen. Here is the dialog box for player 1:
player 1 box
Events
Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
Conditions
Actions
Dialog - Clear racepickdialog
Dialog - Change the title of racepickdialog to Pick your race
Dialog - Create a dialog button for racepickdialog labelled Mur'gul Camp
Set murguldialog = (Last created dialog Button)
Dialog - Create a dialog button for racepickdialog labelled The Alliance
Set alliancedialog = (Last created dialog Button)
Dialog - Create a dialog button for racepickdialog labelled The Nerubians
Set nerubiandialog = (Last created dialog Button)
Dialog - Create a dialog button for racepickdialog labelled The Creep Colony
Set creepdialog = (Last created dialog Button)
Dialog - Show racepickdialog for Player 1 (Red)

ok and heres the race selecty for nerubians:
Nerubian picked
Events
Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for racepickdialog
Conditions
(Clicked dialog button) Equal to nerubiandialog
Actions
Unit - Create 5 Nerubian Acolyte for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of tele1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Create 3 Ghoul for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of tele1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Create 1 Nerubian Post for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of town hall spawn 1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: You have picked The...

And well the other ones have exactly what that one has but the conditions for the picked diaslog is different.
 
AHHA!!!! Ok I'm a moron because I copied and pasted that one trigger 3 times and changed it up to the right units but on accident I forgot to change the condition:$ Thank you for your help Acehart:)
 
"Dialog box for player 1"? Show the same one for every player!

Don't create units for a fixed player, use "triggering player".

Cuts down on triggers.

And, if you change something, you won't have to repeat the change for every player your map is supporting... :)

    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it

    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit

    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts

    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales

    That's an arbitrary number. It could be whatever you want, really. Though one wonders what the use case is for uploading giant files to a forum these days.

    That was a fun trip. Next time I am going to get some kind of water thing like a kayak or something to boat out n the lake, maybe get a place with a pier on it.
