not sure if it is possible, but seeking a Dialog system that can hold 20 Buttons, and each button requires specific amount of Interger Score.

So you type

#Skins, it pops up a menu, of 20 skins, some require 200+ score, some 500+ ect, and u can click which skin u want to choose, and then it replaces ur current skin.

It be awesome if it had a preview of the skin then udner it the name which u click to become, but that i dont think is possible

also original dialogs only hold like 10 buttons any more and there unclickable

I'm pretty sure you can get a big enough dialog with the new UI natives.

To get a different skin (or model really) you should use the passive hero transformation method.

If you don't know how to use the UI natives you can always make a "more options" button in your dialog that just opens up another dialog with more options.

ah didnt think of More Options Button, one issue about passive morph, is it replaces the unit basically, with another, and the map i been editing for along time now as ic ant get in touch with original creator, i cant change too much on the map, and if it replaces a unit at any time, them units can no longer be rescued which ruins the point of the game.

so sadly i to use "unit - set skin" trigger, as it changes skin, sadly doesnt change voice so u have have both genders as a female skin with male voice be odd.

Using bear form shouldn't be a problem as the unit retains all of its variable references.

i can give it a try, shouldnt be hard, as i got a test trigger ingame, to make game end and chopper spawn after 30 seconds so can go in change skin and see if i can still be rescued, just realised another issue, it u wanna transform to one skin then to another, u wont be able to as in bear form u to set the 2 specific uunits

for example, Unit1: Peasant, Unit2: Elf

so if u sue that become a elf, then u wanna go from Elf to Ghoul, u wont be able to as the ability is unit1: Peasant.

so if i got 20 skins

will need 20 abilities per skin, so u can change into any from it, which would then require 20 triggers per skin too
