Dialog Transparency for Specific Player

[colawaffle]

Hello,

I have a question regarding the action "Dialog - Set transparency of (dialog)". Is there a way to make it so that it would only affect certain players? For example, a similar action "Dialog - Hide (dialog) for (player group)", only affect specified players.

I would imagine that this is do-able via custom script, but I have no idea how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem.

• Dialog - Show Save Menu Dialogue[1] for (All players)

How do I make ^ that trigger into this

Dialog - Show Save Menu Dialogue[1] for Player 1. or 2, or 3. etc

edit: Just so you know 'Save Menu Dialogue[1]' is an array variable name.





Thought I would bump your post instead of creating my own.

I figured it out.

It is indeed as someone else pointed out previously - Starcraft 2 has no 'Players'... ironic...

All 'Players' are now numbers. And if you want to target a single player in a trigger (such as the ones above) - you need to create a Player Group Variable (as a local of that trigger); and then use the function 'Convert Player to Player Group'. So that way, you have a player group - containing the player you want to target.

Seem's extremely long-winded and unnecessary - but that is something you tend to get used to with the Galaxy Editor. If anyone know's a simpler way of achieving this, please let us know!

so what used to be this in WarEdit:

• Do this action - make it affect Player 1

Is now translated into this in GalaxyEditor:

• Local Variable = Dummy Player Group = 'Empty' <Player Group>
• Actions:
• Variable - Set Dummy Player Group = (Player Group(1))
• Do this action - make it affect Dummy Player Group

To do so, you have to create an array dialog variable that keeps every dialog for every player. Therefore:

• Dialog
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Local Variables
    • Loop = 0 <Integer>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • General - For each integer Loop from 1 to 12 with increment 1, do (Actions)
      • Actions
        • Dialog - Create a Modal dialog of size (500, 400) at (0, 0) relative to Top Right of screen
        • Variable - Set Dialog[Loop] = (Last created dialog)
  • ------- If want to set transparency, eg. Player 1
  • Dialog - Set transparency of Dialog[1] to 10.0
