Hi there.. i am in need of help again.. i am very new to the world editor..its been a week since i have started using it. I want to make a dialog box for my game.. where i want the players to get an option upon the death of their hero..whether they want the hero to spwan at level1 which will cost them less resource of course...or to respwan their hero's at the same level...at the time of his death....this will cost them more resource to respawn the same hero at the time of his death. I went through the tutorials..to see how to make a dialog box.. i am good with that...what i am having a difficulty is with the trigger to set conditions for player to make their hero spwan at level 1 or respwan retaining the level at the time of his death.
here's what i got so far
  • Dialog
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Conditions
      • (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((All units of (Units owned by Player 1 (Red)) are in (Playable map area)) Equal to True)
    • Actions
      • Dialog - Clear MyDialog
      • Dialog - Change the title of MyDialog to Would you like to r...
      • Dialog - Create a dialog button for MyDialog labelled Yes
      • Set DialogButton[1] = (Last created dialog Button)
      • Dialog - Create a dialog button for MyDialog labelled No
      • Set DialogButton[2] = (Last created dialog Button)
      • Dialog - Show MyDialog for Player 1 (Red)
i understand i have to make a couple of more triggers to make "Yes" and the "No" buttons to work. Can someone help ?? pleaseeeee

P.S heros in my game are like units...player can train multiple heros from the Altar of Kings..

Well in my game the units are not already on the map except for the worker units....Players can train heroes from the Altar of Kings....by using their gold..
What i am trying to do is..give the players an option..at the hero's death...to train a new hero from the altar of king or to respawn the dead hero at the same level..
For example...I am player 1....and at the start of the game i have 250 gold...i don't have any hero's in the map yet..so i train 2 support heroes and go down to hunt some neutral creeps..after killing some creeps my heroes level up to level 2.. and then i train a range hero and put him also to kill creeps.. while in combat one of my level 2 hero dies..and i get a dialog box "Do you want to respawn your hero at same level? "Yes /No". If "Yes" the same support..hero respwans near the player 1's altar of kings. If "No" then do nothing because then the player can train any hero from the altar of kings of his choice..

Well this is what i have done...this trigger works fine for 1st time...but it wont respwan the hero's after..so considering the above example...my 1st support hero will respwan at the same level..but after that...my heroes wont spawn at the same level if i choose "yes" on the dialog box to respwan them... i am trying to make the trigger work for every time a hero dies.

  • Dialog Player1
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Conditions
      • (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((All units of (Units owned by Player 1 (Red)) are in (Playable map area)) Equal to True)
    • Actions
      • Wait 4.00 seconds
      • Dialog - Clear MyDialogP1
      • Dialog - Change the title of MyDialogP1 to Would you like to r...
      • Dialog - Create a dialog button for MyDialogP1 labelled Yes
      • Set DialogButtonP1[1] = (Last created dialog Button)
      • Dialog - Create a dialog button for MyDialogP1 labelled No

      • Dialog - Show MyDialogP1 for Player 1 (Red)

        • Then - Actions
          • Hero - Instantly revive (Triggering unit) at (Center of Player1 hero respwan <gen>), Hide revival graphics

Well it seems like...what i am planning to do is quite impossible using GUI...so i have now decided to change it a bit..Now what i am trying to do is...When a unit dies...bring up the dialog box....with the "yes" and a "no" button..if the button clicked is yes...then revive hero instantly...for 500 gold..and set location of the revived hero and ping the minimap...on that location...and if clicked no...do nothing..then the player can train the unit of his choice from the altar of king.. i am also attaching my map with this comment...so that it becomes easy to know what i am trying to do...

Init trigger:
Set up dialog thingies

Unit dies:
Show dialog for triggering player
Don't add any events here

Dialog button clicked trigger:
if button == yes then revive

There are 3 factions in my game..each faction has 3 heroes..the heroes are lik units in my game..the players can train as many heroes they want depending on their resources...does that mean i will have to make unit array for all heroes ..
