Actually i use this system in my map, it works in singleplayer well but in multiplayer the game won't show button to other player.

Set the Size of the Dialog variable / buttons to 24. Some Arrays needs to be initialized.

Thanks, do you know how to change this system to a chat message changing units system?

If targeting a reforged based version of Warcraft III I recommend trying to create some sort of UI for functionality rather than using chat messages. Chat messages are left over from the old days before new UI elements could be freely added to the screen.

As for parsing chat messages, you will need to describe how you imagine the command will work in game. For example would it be "-replace 3" or "-unit footman" or e.t.c. It is difficult for people to suggest how to implement such a command when they are unsure what exactly you are after.
