[Trigger] Help Me Devise a MPI Gold Request Trigger

[Gnuoy]

I know this would be possible but not really sure where to begin with the MUI. So there are 4 "king" players (give gold) and 12 "knight" players (request gold). Player would time -request [0000] and would check what player group he is in, check the amount of gold of that player group's king, pop up dynamic dialog window to that king to say yes or no.

I'm not asking for anyone to make the whole trigger but maybe just some tips.

I want this to be efficient and use arrays. I was thinking something like this below but worried that it's not MUI or might not work well with several requests coming in to the same team.

this is like a rough draft:

MUI = Multi Unit Instanceable

You want MPI, Multi Player Instanceable.

You will need to give each player their own individual timer/dialog which uses their Player Number. A team can't share the same dialog/timer.

What do you think about this? Is there a way I can make better use of arrays to avoid making multiple triggers or if/then statements?

King grants or denies request. Is there a way to use arrays in a more efficient way for this one or do I need to make 12 different if/then statements?

So let's say player 1 clicks dialog button array [5].
Player one is the 'triggering player' but is there an easy way to reference play 5? Or do I need an if/then statement for players 5-20?
