[Trigger] Dialog/Unit Malfunction, help!

[streetpunk]

I'm having problems with this trigger, its a "select your hero" dialog but no matter what choice you take it's only spawning the first hero of the list.

Can anyone shed a light here, please ?

Have you set the array size for the variable to number of buttons + 1? This is necessary because dialog arrays are not initialized automatically.

May I see the trigger in which you create the dialog and its buttons?

Here's a tutorial on dialogs: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums...s-279/dialog-buttons-advanced-systems-186390/

The hero chosen is always the same because you refer to the player number to choose the correct hero. The index should be the same as the index of the button clicked.

To fix this, change Integer A for the inner loop to a different integer. Once that changes, every action that has an index should use the new integer except for the actions for creating the heroes.

I also think you could have done the hero creation in a more elegant and efficient manner. Why do you create heroes for every player each time a button is clicked? Are you concerned with issues that may arise from two players clicking the same button at the same time?

I'm actually using a pre-made trigger and changing it as my desire, i did this and it seemed to work:

• (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogButtons[1]

• Set Unit[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Last created unit)

however, as you said, I'm looking for the most efficient method to do this
