[Trigger] Dialog Won't Appear

[Homor]

I need some serious help here. I'm in the process of creating my first Dialog button setup, but it won't appear. When I have it set to show the dialog, I'm treated to a blank screen with nothing in it.

Here's the trigger I'm trying to get working:

Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

And where did you create the dialog? Since I do not see any dialog creation action in that trigger. Basically I think you are creating buttons and changing the title of null as you have forgotten to create the dialog and set the dialog variable to it.

What did you set the initial size value to in the variable editor?

Alternatively you could add this to your actions

Custom script: set udg_PickASide[1] = DialogCreate()

Still having trouble. This help clear up some of the questions you guys have. I took some advice from the thread.

Note: that "-show" trigger was just a an extra test trigger I made. This is the core trigger.

You can't show dialogs in "Map Initialization".

This trigger works completely fine for me:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -show as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Dialog - Clear myDialog[1]
    • Dialog - Change the title of myDialog[1] to MyTitle
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for myDialog[1] labelled button1
    • Set Button1 = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for myDialog[1] labelled button2
    • Set Button2 = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for myDialog[1] labelled button3
    • Set Button3 = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Show myDialog[1] for Player 1 (Red)

Also, in your "core" trigger, why do you have this?

• Set PickASide[0] = PickASide[1]

I didn't. The core trigger just sets up the dialog and button positions.

Also, in your "core" trigger, why do you have this?

I thought it would help or something. It didn't.
Hmmm, you seem to do everything I did, but you get actual results. I wonder what's going wrong on my end?

Make a completely new map and just put that one trigger in it... it should work. I want to say that it might be another one of your triggers messing something up but I don't see how that's possible with Dialogs.

Another suggestion is to just delete that trigger you have, and re-do it. It's not likely at all, but I remember GUI->JASS translations get messed up VERY RARELY if you copy and paste stuff.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Make sure the trigger does fire. I could be your initialization thread is hitting the op limit and never making the trigger or attaching the event to it.

Did you enable your trigger? There's a huge 'X' over there I see.

 

[Homor]

I managed to get the dialog to appear by deleting the "map initialization" trigger and moving everything to the "-show" trigger. I guess what happened is it became confused because it had to work with outdated or redundant data.

Thank you all for the help.

I agree with vypur, the map init trigger never runs since you disabled it...

 

[TriggerHappy]

You can't show dialogs on map initialization.
