[Trigger] How to create an dialog array?

[streetpunk]

Is it possible to make dialog arrays so I don't need to make one dialog for each player?

When a player opens the dialog, it clears the dialog for the player that was using it before him, is there a way to make it work properly?

Thanks in advice, help is much appreciated!

That part confused me.
I created a simple dialog trigger below but I'm not sure if this how you wanted.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Dialog - Clear Dialog[(Player number of (Picked player))]
        • Dialog - Change the title of Dialog[(Player number of (Picked player))] to Who are you?
        • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog[(Player number of (Picked player))] labelled It's me.
        • Set DialogBut1[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created dialog Button)
        • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog[(Player number of (Picked player))] labelled Bill Gates
        • Set DialogBut2[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created dialog Button)
        • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog[(Player number of (Picked player))] labelled Tarantula
        • Set DialogBut3[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created dialog Button)
        • Dialog - Show Dialog[(Player number of (Picked player))] for (Picked player)

My trigger is very similar to this but then how can I check for clicking dialog buttons?

Somehow like this maybe?
For example, if a dialog button is clicked by Player 1, this will run.

• Player 1 Dialog
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Dialog[1]
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogBut1[1]
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: What
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogBut2[1]
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: What2
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogBut3[1]
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: What3
      • Else - Actions

Or if it clicked by Player 2, this will run.

• Player 2 Dialog
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Dialog[2]
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogBut1[2]
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Bruj
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogBut2[2]
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Bruh
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to DialogBut3[2]
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Bruh
      • Else - Actions

      • Else - Actions
    • -------- Setup for Dialog 1 --------
    • Dialog - Clear Armas[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
    • Dialog - Change the title of Armas[(Player number of (Triggering player))] to Escolha uma Arma

    • -------- Showing the dialog to all players --------
    • Dialog - Show Armas[(Player number of (Triggering player))] for (Triggering player)
    • Selection - Select Unit[(Player number of (Triggering player))] for (Triggering player)

I've added the event for the scond trigger by another trigger with action:

• Trigger - Add to Dando o item <gen> the event (Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Armas[(Player number of (Triggering player))])

But this dialog are only working for player 1 and when I managed to make it work for all players if a player opened the dialog and another player was using it, then the dialog for player that was using it before gets cleared.

Bear's solution is good, can't see a better way of doing it (including those text messages ).

I have some experience with dialogs and they can be a bitch to be honest. I've always tried to look for a workaround instead of trying to deal with dialogs.

This is even better.
It would be a waste if you created several Dialog Button arrays per the single Dialog Array.
You can try this: set DialogBut[(0 * 9) + 1] = (Last created dialog Button)

Here's how its work btw. set DialogBut[(1st Index * MaxAmount) + 2nd Index]
If you set the MaxAmount into 9 for example, you can set the 2nd Index between 0-8.
But if you set the 2nd Index above 8, it would messed it up.

DialogBut[(0 * 15) + 0)] = DialogBut[0] (Works fine)

DialogBut[(2 * 15) + 4)] = DialogBut[34] (Works fine)

DialogBut[(0 * 15) + 15)] = DialogBut[15]
DialogBut[(1 * 15) + 0)] = DialogBut[15] (Both of these will messed up each other)

DialogBut[(0 * 15) + 14)] = DialogBut[14]
DialogBut[(1 * 15) + 0)] = DialogBut[15] (Both of these works fine)

Since you only pick 12 players, it's still far off the Array's limit so this probably work as well.

This kind of trick is actually similar to this: set DialogBut[0][1] = (Last created dialog Button)
but the difference is you'll kinda annoyed because of the MaxAmount
