Creating a Race Choosing Dialog

[MattNJ]

I want to create a dialog that allows users to choose between a Human or Blood Elf race in the beginning of the game. I want Human race to be the default. I want the correct starting units to be replaced upon the choice of the Blood Elf race.

 

[Wasabee]

So you mean the player could select if he want to play as Humans or Blood Elf? When he chose Humans in the start?

Correct. You can choose a few seconds into when the game begins or at map initialization, if that is possible.

I would like the option to be available in the game creation window though, but that could get complicated.

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_DU_SelectedGroup[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())])

Is this should be in the last part?

Does this part go after the final else actions under Blood Elf Initialization or Blood Elf Pick?

Thanks for this! This one is more useful for multiple races.

These triggers did not work and rendered my map unusable. I think it was the custom script.

Not there, the second trigger.
So, the second trigger look like this :

• Blood Elf Pick
• Events
• Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Race_Dialog
• Conditions
• (Clicked dialog button) Equal to Race_Dialog_Buttons[0]
• Actions
• Custom Script : set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
• Loop - Actions
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Town Hall
• Then - Actions
• Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a (Custom Town Hall) using The new unit's default life and mana
• Else - Actions
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Peasant
• Then - Actions
• Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a (Custom Worker) using The new unit's default life and mana
• Else - Actions

Sorry for the messy script, I was on mobile.

So that is the only thing I should add?

 

[Daffa]

Yes, just before you create the group.
It saves some space from being leaked (filled without purpose).

Okay thank you!
