It is done in gui so everyone can use it.
It is useful only for multi-player maps.
Also thanks to moyack for his jngp v2, with it I tested this in multy player.
Cannot post triggers because I am on cell phone.

 

[Razer!X]

It could be very useful to Boss Fight maps. That's all I can say .

 

[HammerFist132]

well thats why it is done, maybe it could be used like afk check?

 

[Daffa]

Can you show the trigger bro?

 

[Chaosy]

The wow version does not cover the whole scteen but yeah it is close enough gj.

however dialogs pause the game and disables unit controll right? or maybe thats only in single player.
in that case I would use chat msgs insted.

 

[HammerFist132]

Why I always have to repeat that I cannot post triggers(i said that and in first post), because I am on phone. If someone can do it, then please do it.

EDIT: chaosy sorry didnt see what you have writen. Yes it is done for mp but it uses dialogs, it is mostly used for situations when you are out of combat so I hope that dialogs dont make big problem, and I think they are much better for eye then chat message.

Use the 0.00 start instead of 0.50. Dialogs can't be created at Map Init but 0.00 elapsed game time is alright.

Move the Ready check ended line out of the ITE, it will be executed either way.

You may want to use a boolean to indicate when all players are ready.

Entered chat message, dialog title and buttons text could be configurable.

Simple and quite useful system.

 

[nhocklanhox6]

How this system does ?

 

[HammerFist132]

How this system does ?

Hey, I guess you tried this system in single player, that's why you probably have no idea how it works.
To see how it works you need to test it with at least 2 wc3 pc(or with jngp 2 like what I did).

I will try to explain you with words, player 1 enters message, to all other players shows dialog like on image, then when they click it, player one can see who is ready and who is not, after that they can start going on.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Nice system. However, it should be a bit more configurable. You should allow for any player to type -rc, rather than just player 1. (in the trigger, replace Player 1 (red) with "triggering player")

Also, for the trigger "Ready Check Start", you don't need the loop to show the dialog to players 2 through 12. You already made a player group and are iterating through them, so just remove the loop and replace the player in the dialog function with "Picked player" (or whatever the GUI function is for it).

After that it should be okay. One suggestion is that, instead of saying "Player 1 (red) is ready" in "Ready Check Start", you may want to say something like "Player 1 (red) has initiated a ready check". It would make more sense in my opinion since people would want to know why the dialog has appeared/who started the ready check.
