Well you have to create dialog only once.
Change its Event to Time Elapsed =0 or Map Init.

Move the Show Dialog-Action and the Set-Title Action inside the "Uses an Item"- Trigger.
YOu will not need this disable Trigger-Actions

Fixing the Location-Leak inside the Ping trigger may be a good idea.
Either by using a tempomary Location and Remove it after pinging
or save all Locations in your Init Trigger inside an Array and use the correct one.

Hm you encounter the max limit of Dialog-Buttons inside one Dialog. I think its 8 Buttons or something like this.
Try to make the dialog page based. Each Page represents another Dialog and with a Button insde a Page you switch Pages.

• Each Page constains some Cities, maybe 5, and a Button which will open the next Page or the first if the last Page does that.

The switch Button just shows the next Dialog the Triggering Player.

Remove that clear Action -> it removes all attached Buttons form an dialog.

So it looks like this right now , but still no dialog box shows up xD

 

[Tasyen]

I don't see an error inside this 3 triggers able to block the box. Wierd.

Question: does no Box open or does an empty box open?

 

[Muziksss]

After i used this trigger

• Untitled Trigger 001 KopĂrovat
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Dialog - Change the title of oznaceni_mesta to Town list
    • Dialog - Show oznaceni_mesta for Player 1 (Red)

The dialog box just poped up. It seems like Dialog boxes cant be opened by Unit/item interaction?

 

[Tasyen]

They can, i already did this.

Oh found something critical don't know if it solves this problem but will for sure bring trouble.
You posted an trigger which removes "Playable Map Area". You shouldn't do that it is needed later for sure and doens't Leak. PlayableMap Area is a constant created at Map init.
From Jass API:

//===========================================================================
// Query the playable map area, as defined at map init.
//
function GetPlayableMapRect takes nothing returns rect
    return bj_mapInitialPlayableArea
endfunction

 

[Muziksss]

Still doesnt work dunno why :C any other suggestions?

 

[Tasyen]

I can only guess with no more informations, like i said the three triggers are okay.

• Maybe you got multiple Map-Item Objects and you use the wrong.
• Your Map-item may not have an casting ability, it is needed to run an uses item Event.

 

[Muziksss]

So on which item shall i base the item ?

 

[Tasyen]

No, i said maybe you got 2 differnt map-Item types in your Object Editor for what reason ever and use the wrong. Unlikely but possible.


I guess some Ability with no targeting and no Buff.
Souns like Roar or Fan of knives with targeting none, AoE 1 and none Grafic effect.

 

[Muziksss]

I know which spell but im thinkin' about most times if they are usable they will disappear likes times , buffs etc.

 

[Tasyen]

Nah its just a question of setuping the item.
There is that Stat perishable set it to false and charges to 0 -> your item will not be expend on use.

 

[Muziksss]

Okay i got this , only problem was that my item had no ability/spell , cos of my friend which is workin' wit me , made it from moon key and forgot to make a spell too. Thanks Tasyen for your time <3 +rep

 

[Muziksss]

Btw..just next error here...Is there any possible reason when i use that item it looks like dialogs gonna show up but it just keeps look like paused game but no dialogs?

 

[Tasyen]

Then the dialog has no Buttons -> somewhere you removed all of them with the Clear action or the init is not done.

Try to use the Object Manager (F11) /functions to find the clear action.

 

[Muziksss]

I just got no clear action in that trigger

EDIT : I just removed map init func , and used elapsed game time and the trigger started to work , is there any maximum map init commands in one trigger?

 

[Tasyen]

There is a limit but it is really high, most time reached by setting up many Arrays with high init size, which is unneeded cause size increaese automatacally if needed. Your trigger shouldn't reach it.
