This is an alliance system that makes creating alliances easy and fast for both players!
Supports 12 players!
Q: How does it work? A: Well it starts the same as any other alliance system, you type "-ally (color)" but after that it creates a dialog box for that player giving them two choices. They can either Accept, and be allied to the other player or Decline, and not be allied.
Q: Is there an alliance limit? A: No, you can ally as many players as you want but only one at a time.
Q: What if someone just used this system to troll with at key moments in battle? A: Simple, thanks to the help of Champara Bros the anti-spam feature will only allow 3 failed alliance attempts before the player has to wait for 3 minutes before they can ally again.
Q: Once someone comes off of the anti-spam timer, can't they just do it again? A: As of Version 1.4, after the first timer the can only get the timer one more time before being removed from the game.
Q: If I use this system in my map, who should I give credit to? A: Give credit to 13oot-Me.

IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.
10 Nov 2011
Bribe: Your "Wait 180.00 game-time seconds" makes this not-MPI. You might need to use a local variable to do this correctly.
I also think the 180-seconds should be...
Oh... I didn't see anything other than the simple way when you type "-ally (color)" it ONLY allies you to that player, that player would have to do the same to you.
Could you please tell me how exactly it's not usable? i used it for a risk map I made and it works great!
Idea is good but it still need a lot of work to be done properly.
Don't you think that forcing users to create 12 triggers for ally and 12 triggers for unally is a bit frustrating?
Work with hashtables. Since actions are always connected with player color written by other user you can store players as name of the colors.
So, the maximum amount of players-human is 12 we just need to store 12 positions.
I recommend doing that on map initialization trigger:
I'm sorry if players handle can be saved too, but integers works here as well.
Now, when you got players saved, you no longer have to check entered chat string in conditions as constants.
Egzample:
check
Actions
Set tempstring = (Entered chat string)
Set tempplayer = Player(Load tempstring of 1 from AShash)
<next stuff>
I have just told you the idea, I'd use custom script with setting player too but I dont have editor around now and I'm unsure about the code.
Anyways, there are plenty of methods. If you need help, feel free to ask.
What about the possilibity of using this to troll? Any player could type -ally and the color of their enemy while attacking them to make a pop-up box. Players cant do things in pop-up boxes except click the options, so you could do it at a critical moment in battle and win the battle because the other player can't respond.

Sadly, it doesnt work. When I have all the triggers c/p in, and I try to save my map it comes up with multiple errors for each trigger. Then it makes them disabled. (btw I have create variables on).
If I somehow did something wrong, I'd be glad to know what.
P.S. I'll sure to use it when it works, especially if you ever add a anti-spam feature to it.
@Czarofthewest, did you make your own variables or use the ones I have already set? If you added the triggers in before you put in the variables or if you miss typed some variables the triggers will become disabled. I haven't had any problems with it and I wouldn't upload it if there was a problem like that.
I am currently working on an addition thanks to Champara Bros where if (for example) Player A attempts to ally Player B, and Player B declines or Player A cancels the alliance request, Player A has added +1 to a variable and when that variable reaches 3, Player A will be unable to try and ally for 3 minutes.
is there time limit for those three failed alliances? lets say the player gets failed two times and he is scared to do it third time because he can be declined and get the penalty? I mean like those two should perish over time because if its for 12 players people troll him; tell him to become an ally and then they decline. if they do that multiple times they can kick the player out of the game...
