How many players are on this map, because if you have more than one on either side (CIS or Republic) that if the dialog is brought up for a player just as another clicks a button for the respective dialog, then the buttons would be cleared off. I think it would be better if you put all the Dialog creation into Map Initialization and don't use the clear dialog commands (At least not until everyone has picked a hero), only calling for the button clicked and the location of the unit that brings up the dialog.

well see i figured that if another person clicked at the same time someone was picking it would clear, but what it is, its that you can pick a selection of heroes, from each command post every time you die, which is why i can just have one at the intialization, and i tried a array, but couldnt seem to get it to work correctly, this is what the array looks like

• When
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Select CIS Hero
  • Actions
    • Set CP = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Dialog - Change the title of Select_Hero_Copy[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] to Choose Your Hero
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Select_Hero_Copy[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] labelled Droideka
    • Set Droideka[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Select_Hero_Copy[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] labelled Rocket Droid
    • Set RocketDroid[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Select_Hero_Copy[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] labelled Assault Droid
    • Set AssaultDroid[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Select_Hero_Copy[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] labelled Sniper Droid
    • Set SniperDroid[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Show Select_Hero_Copy[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] for (Triggering player)

and then i would have to create a seperate one for each of the clicked dialogs but

• Choose
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Select_Hero_Copy[(Player number of (Player(2)))]
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (If ((((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Triggering player))) then do (Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game) else do (Do nothing))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Triggering player))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
          • Else - Actions
    • If ((Clicked dialog button) Equal to AssaultDroid[(Player number of (Triggering player))]) then do (Unit - Create 1 Assault Droid for (Triggering player) at CP facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Clicked dialog button) Equal to Droideka[(Player number of (Triggering player))]) then do (Unit - Create 1 Droideka for (Triggering player) at CP facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Clicked dialog button) Equal to SniperDroid[(Player number of (Triggering player))]) then do (Unit - Create 1 Sniper Droid for (Triggering player) at CP facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Clicked dialog button) Equal to RocketDroid[(Player number of (Triggering player))]) then do (Unit - Create 1 Rocket Droid for (Triggering player) at CP facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_CP)
    • Dialog - Clear Select_Hero_Copy[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
    • Unit - Add classification of A peon-type unit to (Last created unit)

and it doesnt have to do with the second trigger, becuz the dialog does not show up in the first place

It's better to use

• Events
  • Dialog - AssaultDroid button is clicked

And then have one trigger for each button.

 

[FamousPker49]

thanks anyway but i have solved this quite a while ago

 

[Pyritie]

Oh okay.
