Well, because you need that skip remeaning actions at all transmission lines, it is basically something like this.

Footman Dialog
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
- Conditions
  - (Footman Dialog <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
  - (Ability being cast) Equal to Action
- Actions
  - Set Hero_Triggering = (Casting unit)
  - Set Temp_Region = Footman Dialog <gen>
  - If (IntroSkipped Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
  - Camera - Apply Bandi lord quest Copy Copy 2 <gen> for Player 7 (Green) over 0.00 seconds
  - Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
  - If (IntroSkipped Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)

Still is not working, I can't skip all dialogs in one go. I can hide the text but dialogs are still going.

Dont skip actions if boolean is true, but always before you send next transmission check if boolean == false.
So if true, it will automatically skip all further transmissions, but still do the further actions like disabling the cinematic mode.

Yeah sorry iceman's method is the right one.

I make it work. Thank you for all the help

A side note, you can have a cleanup trigger that is ran either upon pressing Esc or when the cinematic ends. Then remove all leaks in there.

Currently, if you skip, all the variables will leak.
