Trouble is, the dialog screen doesnt hide, and the UI doesn't show again. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Dialog - Hide DialogBox Heroes for (Player group(1))

Should be TriggeringPlayer instead of the constant 1.

I assume your Array is of size 5? Since arrays start at index 0 and end at index size-1

So for an array size 4 the following indexes are valid.
0
1
2
3

The following indexes are not valid.
-1
4

Sorry, I placed the "1" in there to refer to player 1 red, just in case it was the triggering player that was bugging up and forgot to change it back.

Is there anything else wrong with the trigger? Because when i click "pick hero", the dialog screen remains there, the world shows (i can move my unit
around with a dialog screen box in the way) and the minimap, menu, etc (UI) doesn't show up. It's wierd, I hope you understand.

I fixed my own problem. I had another trigger which set the player variables, which ran the dialog box trigger after its completion. I just had to deleat the "map initialization" event and it worked.
