Any way to assign hotkeys to dialog buttons?

[X-Death]

I saw in a custom map called The World RPG, for their teleporter to go to different areas, a dialog appears, and for each dialog button, they have [1] for the first one, [2] for the second one, [3] for the third one, etc. So you can press 1, 2, 3, etc, depending on which one you wanted. How do you do that?

Or is it like that by default? The dialog's default hotkeys are 1, 2, 3, etc in order..?

You can specify dialog hotkeys through JASS.

For example, if you have some Dialog "DialogVariable", you can add a button like so:

• Custom script: set bj_lastCreatedButton = DialogAddButton(udg_DialogVariable, "Dialog Button Text", '1')
• // perform actions for this button using (last created button)
• Custom script: set bj_lastCreatedButton = DialogAddButton(udg_DialogVariable, "Dialog Button Text", '2')
• // perform actions for this button using (last created button)
• Custom script: set bj_lastCreatedButton = DialogAddButton(udg_DialogVariable, "Dialog Button Text", '3')
• // etc..

The third field specifies the dialog's hotkey. Note that it is placed in single quotes 'X'. If you want it to be a letter, simply use a letter within the quotes instead, such as 'A' (it won't restrict it to uppercase).

You can also put a number, but it is easier to just enclose it in quotes. There are also special hotkeys, where you would just use the numbers directly. Taken from my dialog wrapper:

Mr. PurgeandFire, do I just reference the dialog buttons like this?

• (Clicked dialog button) Equal to Dialog_Button[1]

With this...

• Dialog - Change the title of Dialog to Teleport to:
• Custom script: set bj_lastCreatedButton = DialogAddButton(udg_Dialog, "[1] The Forest", '1')
• Set Dialog_Button[1] = (Last created dialog Button)
• Custom script: set bj_lastCreatedButton = DialogAddButton(udg_Dialog, "[2] Undoing Ruin", '2')
• Set Dialog_Button[2] = (Last created dialog Button)
• Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 1 (Red)

 

[PurgeandFire]

Exactly. Try it out. I believe it should work.
