Teir One
1. illadin
2. Preistest of The Moon
3. Blade Master
4. Turtle Man
5. SuperMan
6. SpiderMan
7. Gosu

Every dialog needs a variable of type "Dialog".
Every button a variable of type "Dialog button".

That said, for two dialogs with lots of "options"...
you might get lost in what button does what

ShowDialog1
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Dialog - Clear myDialog1
        Dialog - Change the title of myDialog1 to Dialog 1
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for myDialog1 labelled 1. ...
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for myDialog1 labelled 2. ...
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for myDialog1 labelled ... to dialog 2
        Set myButton_toDialog2 = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Clear myDialog2
        Dialog - Change the title of myDialog2 to Dialog 2
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for myDialog2 labelled 3. ...
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for myDialog2 labelled 4. ...
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for myDialog2 labelled ... to dialog 1
        Set myButton_toDialog1 = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Show myDialog1 for Player 1 (Red)


Dialog1
    Events
        Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for myDialog1
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Clicked dialog button) Equal to myButton_toDialog2
            Then - Actions
                Dialog - Show myDialog2 for (Triggering player)
                Skip remaining actions
            Else - Actions
        Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: Dialog 1 finished


Dialog2
    Events
        Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for myDialog2
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Clicked dialog button) Equal to myButton_toDialog1
            Then - Actions
                Dialog - Show myDialog1 for (Triggering player)
                Skip remaining actions
            Else - Actions
        Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: Dialog 2 finished

You will have to remember every button created.
My example only cares for those that switch dialogs.

And, those "Game display" actions should, of course, be replaced with a couple
"if button == button1 then ..." (or similar) actions.

Thx AceHart big help.

 

[BrokenX]

hmmm so now i need to make a trigger for every button so it will make the hero i think i can do that now ^^... maybe u better help me out Acehart just give me one example and im good

hmmm .... The first part there it says Clear mydialog1 that is a variable right? and variable type is a dialog correct...?... then every button I make i need to make a variable for right...? and its variable type is Button Clicked?

 

[AceHart]

hmmm so now i need to make a trigger for every button so it will make the hero i think i can do that now ^^... maybe u better help me out Acehart just give me one example and im good

The part that checks for "do I need to switch dialogs", actually, was an example...

Actions
    If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        If - Conditions
            (Clicked dialog button) Equal to <some button>
        Then - Actions
            *** do something here for this button ***
            Skip remaining actions
        Else - Actions

hmmm .... The first part there it says Clear mydialog1 that is a variable right? and variable type is a dialog correct...?... then every button I make i need to make a variable for right...? and its variable type is Button Clicked?

Yep.
(Except that "button clicked" is not a variable type, should be "dialog button".)



You could make a variable of type "unit-type - array",
a couple "set variable",
set myHeroArray[ 1 ] = <Hero 1>
set myHeroArray[ 2 ] = <Hero 2>

Then a "dialog button", array also.
and store the buttons in the exact same order as the Heroes.
I.e. a click on <button 5> will create <Hero 5>

Then all you really need is a simple loop
for integer A = 1 to <number of Heroes>
if (clicked dialog button) equal to myDialogButtons[ Integer A ]
then create myHeroArray[ Integer A ] for (triggering player)

so... basically like a only one of kind type thing? only with dialogs man thats messed but i like it good idea just this might take a while im new to dialogs ^^ but im a fast learner. AceHart also in your cody the first one you posted said something like Set myButton_toDialog2 = (Last created dialog Button) im not sure if thats exact but something like that u said how do u get it so the last created button comes up ... don't get it..

 

[AceHart]

how do u get it so the last created button comes up ... don't get it..

That's automatic if you use "set variable"
and the variable is of type "dialog button".

 

[BrokenX]

k AceHart ... im done the main dialog triggers ... got my 9 buttons on both dialogs ... they work fine but now im working on the hero chooser i started off like this

Events
dialog - a button on MyDialog1 has been clicked.
conditions
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions (Buttonpressed) is equal to
Then - Actions Create one (Archer) for (triggering Unit) at (region)
Else - Actions do nothing

Thats were i got confused... what do i put for button pressed is equal to... because i never made the buttons into variables... so im kinda lost... and ... how would I make it so ... if the owner of triggering unit goes to a certain region... say like team1 player blue chooses a hero... i want it to go to his base... (region) is that possible?

 

[BrokenX]

do do do ???????????????

 

[AceHart]

because i never made the buttons into variables...

Then I'm not surprised you can't find out which button was clicked...

Every
"Dialog - Create a dialog button for <my Dialog> labelled <text>"
must be followed by
Set <my Button variable> = (Last created dialog Button)


Any button you plan on actually using must be remembered!

 

[BrokenX]

k i think i understand its like the button that lets u move to the next page... you need to set the variable ???? were would i set it after each button... would i just set the variable right after the button like the one that lets u move to the next page and back...?

 

[AceHart]

Yes...


Create button 1
set variable 1
create button 2
set variable 2
create button 3
set variable 3
...

and so on, in that order.

 

[BrokenX]

they are not arrays correct ? and it doesn't matter what name of variable is?

 

[Hell-Pleaque]

You need a variable for each button and the name doesn't matter.
