[JASS] dialog with local variables

[Hundirse]

Hey, is it possible to create a dialog button for choosing difficulty or what not without using gui/global variables. I have tried creating a dialog using locals but it didn't work. What functions should i be using to acomplish this--all the turorials ive looked for are only gui. Here is what i have come up with so far, but it doesn't work

function difficultydiag takes nothing returns nothing
    local button easy
    local button medium
    local button hard
    local dialog difficulty
    call DialogSetMessageBJ( difficulty, "Select a difficulty" )
    call DialogAddButtonBJ( difficulty, "easy" )
    set easy = GetLastCreatedButtonBJ()
    call DialogAddButtonBJ( difficulty, "medium" )
    set medium = GetLastCreatedButtonBJ()
    call DialogAddButtonBJ( difficulty, "hard" )
    set hard = GetLastCreatedButtonBJ()
    call DialogDisplayBJ( true, difficulty, Player(0) )
    call DisplayTimedTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), 10.00, "Please wait while host chooses a difficulty" )
    call TriggerSleepAction( 30.00 )
    call DialogDisplayBJ( false, difficulty, Player(0) )
endfunction

You didn't create the dialog...

local dialog difficulty = DialogCreate()

Why are you using so many BJs?

function difficultydiag takes nothing returns nothing
    local dialog difficulty = DialogCreate()
    call DialogAddButton(difficulty,"easy",0)//Or you can replace 0 with a hotkey if you want one
    call DialogAddButton(difficulty,"medium",0)
    call DialogAddButton(difficulty,"hard",0)
    call DialogSetMessage(difficulty,"Select a difficulty")
    call DialogDisplay(Player(0),dialog,true)
    call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(),0,0,10.,"Please wait while host chooses a difficulty")
    call TriggerSleepAction(30)
    call DialogDisplay(Player(0),difficulty,false)
    call DialogDestroy(difficulty)
endfunction

So purple, is there anyway to react to them since they are not set to variables?

 

[PurplePoot]

In the callbacks?

GetClickedButton()
GetClickedDialog()

It looks like you're trying to make this:
WC3Jass.com :: View script - InputMsgI

 

[Hundirse]

thanks purple and eleandor. I guess dialogs are a little different than the GUI way

 

[PurplePoot]

The "GUI way" is an approach that can be done in Jass, but just sucks.

 

[BoneBreaker]

Also, I suggest not using dialogs. They are very bugged, and have lots of problems.

PurplePoot, question. Buttons don't leak? I know, the question is stupid but now I got intrigued. I thought everything except booleans, integers and reals leaked? Or are the buttons destroyed when the dialog is destroyed as well?

 

[Eleandor]

Logically, they would leak, but I guess there's either
- no way to fix those leaks (I can't see a destructor anywhere)
- automatically destroyed upon clearing / destroying the dialog
