[Trigger] Dialog + buttons linking

Mallaboro · Jan 20, 2010

My current dialog series is the same as this

HTML:

http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/dialogs.php

Very sorry I can't paste it here right now, it's just I'm at college. Anyway, my old dialog button series used to have some 105+ variables linking a series of choices like:

choose hero:

A
B
C
D
Next page->

E
F
G
H
<- Previous page

...After I saw the guide using variables with arrays I started over, but I still can't go from A (choose hero dialog) to B (describe hero) to A (Choose hero dialog) to C (example: describe a different hero dialog), ect.

I'd intended on making it so when I click on a hero, it would display it's stats and such (ofc, just me writing it out), this worked fine, but what didn't work was choosing to go back to page 1, which would display all the heroes again.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a working series of dialog/button triggers so I can go back and forth.

Here's one dialog system. Clicking the buttons of undead heroes gives the same results as clicking human hero buttons since I was too lazy

Trigger underneith doesnt' seem all that neccasary, so, once I get this working, I'll probably delete it whether I need it or not.

So, as you might have seen, I've only been working on fixing 1 class at a time...any suggestions?

Adiktuz · Jan 21, 2010

you need the init trigger becoz that gives values to the Hero[] variables.. if you remove it then no hero would be created.

Mallaboro · Jan 21, 2010

Yeah, but I'm not using the hero[value] anywhere.

you use it... at the last trigger.... and about the last question, just copy that last if-then-else and modify to fit the new hero.

Mallaboro · Jan 21, 2010

Yeah but that triggers not needed. I'll be using this instead. The following WORKS, but ofc, I can't click the return button to repick. Any suggestions?

So, yeah.

Dialog - Create a dialog button for Describe_Paladin labelled Return
- Set Choose_Hero_Dialog_Button[24] = (Last created dialog Button)

Could I make it so you can only get to the main page if you first click a different button which also uses Choose hero dialog button [24]? That way I can make a working link by making a condition saying that to first get to the main link you have to click choose hero dialog button 24 and in events It'l say you have to have clicked the button "return" to get to the main... series of hero choices.

-sigh- I'll go try this out. It's been giving me a headache for nearly 3 days now.

Post the map and I'll fix it.

Probably shouldn't upload this to public, but ohwell.

[edit] Never mind. Got it working flawlessly.

Maker · Jan 23, 2010

The Paladin works now.

But there's still a location leak when you create the unit. Read about leaks.
