[Trigger] Player alliances through dialog boxes

[Cayne]

Pretty much what I would like to do is make it so if a player types something like "-ally blue", a dialog box will pop up for blue saying "Accept alliance with red" or something to that effect with a "yes" or "no" option... and have this command available for all players... I know the basics of dialog boxes but I just can't figure out how to go about doing this for all 12 players... help is appreciated.

My trigger doesnt use player colors, but player numbers. I dont know if it will work, the only way to try is to try it on battlenet.

• Ally Start
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring

        • ((Triggering player) is an ally of (Player(TempIntA))) Equal to False

Thank you VERY much!

If you want to use player colors make a string array and add the colors in, have teh trigger check for the exact string when activate.

Nice trigger, am stealing this

But, (as always) am having problems with finding these triggers.

So I'll edit this post everytime I come to a trigger I cant find

1:

• ((Triggering player) is an ally of (Player(TempIntA))) Equal to False

I find triggering player, but "is an ally of"? help!

 

[redmarine]

Keep checking till someone comes by and helps you lol...

eh? (+ some random letters for stupid 15 letters rule)

I thought this would be an easy thing, no?

That took my awhile to find too... its worded differently in the drop down menu.

 

[Squiggy]

boolean condition.. (15letters)

 

[Ripoff]

What kind of variable is the tempintA?

 

[emperor_d3st]

Man, don't doublepost. The edit button is there for a reason. The 15 character limit if there for a reason, so you won't post stuff like 'eh?'
And what do you think, what kind of variable is the tempintA?
temp...int...a... tempinta.. temporary integer A... With a value between 1-12.

 

[Ripoff]

If you could please, stop acting like that, and just say, the variable is an integer.

If I set TempintA to integer, I cant choose that variable in this trigger then:
Set TempIntA = (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 9)))
And this
Dialog - Show AllyDio for (Player(TempIntA))

 

[Squiggy]

uhmm what's the problem ? ^^
can't understand this one

 

[Ripoff]

Well, he hinted that the variable should be "integer", I had mine on "player".

When I shifted my to integer those 2 triggers got destroyed, and I cant put an "integer" trigger in those variable spots.

 

[emperor_d3st]

• ((Triggering player) is an ally of (Player(TempIntA))) Equal to False

Player(1) in GUI is red (the Player(1) function in JASS actually refers to blue, but that doesn't matter now).

Hmm
I don't like that
I think it should put up the ally dialog when you type the command or use some skill.
In the dialog there should be listed all the currently playing players. When you click one you get a confirmation dialog asking you whether you wish to continue with depending whether you are ally or not with the player ally or unally with him.
I am too lazy at the moment to post the trigger

 

[Ripoff]

I give up on this one, been trying for quite a while. I almost get the trigger working but then some error comes and fucks up my variable triggers.
This is really hard for me since I have very little experience with variables.
So if I could ask so kindly if some1 would volunteer to fix the trigger in my map, would any1 do it?

You get to see an awesome map before release day!

(To all people who say I should do this myself to learn, I tried, ok?)
Edit: When I just type "-ally" and nothing else, every person on the server get their wc3 crashed.)

I believe that the best you can do is to look at the Gui tutorials (I you havent done that already)

Here is a link for it. Then look through the tutorials which could help you (basic of triggers, basic of triggering, dialogs, variables etc)

This is what I can contribute to now, thus Im in school and cant do anything but inet.

[Ripoff]

grrrr, am not a totall noob with triggers. I've done ALOT of triggers, just avoided variables and such. If you could take a look at my map, you would understand.

 

[spiwn]

Well generally I would gladly do it, but this Sunday and Tuesday I have exams
So I will not promise anything, but I will try to post triggers. For what I suggested?
