I don't know if I'm correct but you need to try this :

Hmm if you mean 'Host detector' then take a look at this link
http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=86119

Also , Create a variable named Host , type Player , No-Arrayed. In Map Initialization, Add these triggers in case you applied 'Host detector' :
  • Melee Initialization
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Trigger - Add to Next Area <gen> the event (Player - Host Presses the Right Arrow key)
      • Trigger - Add to Previous Area <gen> the event (Player - Host Presses the Left Arrow key)
      • Trigger - Add to Choose Area <gen> the event (Player - Host Presses the Up Arrow key)

    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Cinematic - Fade in over 2.00 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogButton[0]

          • Set ArenaImpathables[1] = EchoImpath <gen>
          • Set ArenaRegion = Echo Isles <gen>
          • Set ArenaSafe = EchoSafe <gen>
        • Else - Actions
      • Wait 1.00 seconds
      • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching ((Matching Player controller equal to Computer) or (Matching Player controller equal to User)) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set TempPoint = (Random point in ArenaRegion)
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
                • Conditions
                  • (ArenaImpathables[0] contains ArenaPoint) Equal to True
                  • (ArenaImpathables[1] contains ArenaPoint) Equal to True
            • Then - Actions
              • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
              • Set TempPoint = (Random point in ArenaSafe)
            • Else - Actions
          • Unit - Create 1 (Unit) for (Picked player) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
The example arena is 'EchoIsles'. In case there are impathables and you don't want your units stuck, set the Impathables to a region in the map.

He knows about dialog . But he wants it same like Troll vs Elves , By arrows . Dialog's idea is good . But he wants arrows only .
Also using an arrayed dialog is completely useless >.> . Why not remove that array ? :p
Also may I ask? Why all units controlled by 'Computer' and why 0 arrays O_O? Don't they cause Desync or whatever it's named?

To select an area , Add these actions :
  • Cinematic - Enable user control for (All players)
  • Floating Text - Destroy (Last created floating text)
  • For each Variable TempInteger from 1 to Elves, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Priest for Player(TempInteger) at StartPoint[(Player number of (Player(TempInteger))] facing Default building facing degrees
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_StartPoint[udg_TempInteger])
      • Camera - Set Player(TempInteger)'s camera Angle of attack to 305.00 over 0.00 seconds
  • For each Variable TempInteger from 1 to Trolls, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Troll for Player(TempInteger) at StartPoint[(Player number of (Player(TempInteger)))] facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Hide (Last created unit)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_StartPoint[udg_TempInteger])
      • Camera - Set Player(TempInteger)'s camera Angle of attack to 305.00 over 0.00 seconds

A TempPoint is a temporary point variable. An arrayed region is like this.

Region[1]
Region[2]
Region[3]
Region[4]

So that your "TInteger2" could be the index. For example;

Set TempPoint = (Center of (Region[TInteger2]))
Camera - Pan camera for (Triggering player) to (TempPoint) over 0.00 seconds

In your trigger, you set TInteger2 +1 every press of an arrow key. That means one press would make 'TInteger2' = 2, therefore returning Region[2].

Click to expand...

Exactly , You did store the same variable many times , Area= ... and Area= ... It's being repeated .
You must add an array for 'Area' therefore you can change regions using integers . like this Area[1] ... [1] is the array . Now name each area with an increasing integer like this Area[1] .. Next Area[2]...and so on ..

Also the Variable "Area" has "no region" As seen here:

Is it CORRECT?

I don't know how to create the Trigger as such:
  • Camera - Pan camera for (Triggering player) to (TempPoint) over 0.00 seconds
There is no option for that as far as I can see, as seen here:
(Pan Camera for:____________________)

It's the initial value, before all variables are declared.
