Today I tried making my first dialog box, I managed and it displays correctly, I also added each created buttons to variables but I can't find an event response for event
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for God
    • Conditions
      • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to Button[1]
    • Actions
I need an action for example, Unit - Add AbilityX to Hero[Number of ClickingPlayer]... But there isn't such an action as clickingplayer or something like that, so how can I add ability to the hero of the player.

  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
      • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for God
    • Conditions
      • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to Button[1]
    • Actions

I don't see what the problem is? Try taking away the "Wait 1.00 Second" on the other trigger. I hear Waits are buggy. Plus it isn't really needed.

Also I don't think it can detect if a unit enters "Playable Map Area". Just use "Elapsed Time Equal to 1.00 second" and take away the conditions.

No, I mean the dialog is displayed by the second triggers but I don't think the button variables ar good because they don't store the buttons, I tried removing the wait and everything you told me and it still doesn't work.

  • Make Buttons
    • Events
      • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Dialog - Show Dialog for (Picked player)
      • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog labelled Your Dialog
Firstr Trigger would best compliment my second trigger. You need to have it set on elasped. Second trigger will call every unit owned by player, check if it is a hero, if it is, add the ability to hero for owner of player who clicked the button.

  • If button Is Clicked
    • Events
      • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Dialog
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to Button[0]
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • If (((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) then do (Unit - Add War Stomp to (Picked unit)) else do (Do nothing)
        • Else - Actions
          • Do nothing
You have to set up your variables like you had in last one I just didn't feel like it

I don't understand what your trying to do with your trigger or what it is not doing since you did not answer my earlier post. I have made a few dialogs and all have been based like this. Of course I set the button variables so you know if button[1] is clicked youd o this but on this example i did not.

The trigger with:
Unit - Add War Stomp to Hero[(Player number of (Triggering player))]

Does not work. Might seeem logical, but to me, add warstop to player number does not make sense to me. so his number is Player 1warstomp? not sure if i'm thinking right but i don't think that will work.

Your dialog buttons variables are good. Try what i did above using those same dialog button variables. maybe use same button creating trigger but make it time elasped and not entering hero to compliment my trigger.

Well the idea is to choose a god, each god has a certain bonus, attack speed, defense, life steal etc, the problem with your trigger is that you it's possible that not all heroes are on map... and... it doesn't work anyway... I really can't understand why...
