[Trigger] Selecting heroes through dialogs

[Donran]

Hi, I've been working on a map that utilizes dialogs to select the hero type(intelligence, strength, agility), type of attack(ranged or melee), and finally the hero.

So, to be able to do this, I made this trigger:

• Hero Choose
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Dialog - Change the title of Dialog to Select your Hero ty...
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog labelled |c006600ccIntellige...
    • Set IntelligenceH = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog labelled |c00cc0000Strength ...
    • Set StrengthH = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog labelled |c00ffcc33Agility B...
    • Set AgilityH = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 1 (Red)
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 2 (Blue)
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 3 (Teal)
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 4 (Purple)
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 5 (Yellow)
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 6 (Orange)
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 7 (Green)
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 8 (Pink)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to AgilityH
      • Then - Actions
        • Dialog - Hide Dialog for (Triggering player)
        • Dialog - Show AgilityHeroes for (Triggering player)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to StrengthH
      • Then - Actions
        • Dialog - Hide Dialog for (Triggering player)
        • Dialog - Show StrengthHeroes for (Triggering player)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Triggering player) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to IntelligenceH
      • Then - Actions
        • Dialog - Hide Dialog for (Triggering player)
        • Dialog - Show IntelligenceHeroes for (Triggering player)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

Something, however, is going wrong, since the next dialog(the one where you choose the type of attack) is not being shown.

Thus I am here now looking for help

those if then else's will need to be in their own trigger with the action a button is pressed or whatever it says lol, they cant all be in same trig.

you need 3 triggers something like

use the one you already have and then when they are clicked

• xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for (your dialog)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to agility
      • Then - Actions
• do triggers to show next dialog
  • Else - Actions
• rest for other atributes

• xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for (your dialog)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to hero x
      • Then - Actions
• do triggers to create hero for player
  • Else - Actions

Allrighty, I didn't know about that. Thanks for the info!

• do triggers to show next dialog

• Conditions
• Actions
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• (Clicked dialog button) Equal to hero x
• Then - Actions

do triggers to create hero for player
Else - Actions

Thanks man! I'll try what you've said later

I'm pretty sure this can help you out

Great tutorial defskull, thanks for sharing it

EDIT: I have corrected and simplified the triggers, but they still seem to not work.

Here's what I have right now:

• Hero Choose
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Dialog - Clear Stats
    • Dialog - Change the title of Stats to Select your Hero ty...
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Stats labelled |c006600ccIntellige...
    • Set IntStrAgi[1] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Stats labelled |c00cc0000Strength ...
    • Set IntStrAgi[2] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Stats labelled |c00ff9900Agility B...
    • Set IntStrAgi[3] = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players controlled by a User player) and do (Dialog - Show Stats for (Picked player))

That's the trigger which shows the first dialog, where players select their prefered stat.

• Strength
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Dialog - Clear OtherD[1]
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for OtherD[1] labelled |c00ff3333Melee Att...
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for OtherD[1] labelled |c00339900Ranged At...

This is the trigger that creates two buttons for the dialog OtherD[1], which is where players select their prefered attack type(melee/ranged). In this case, their hero has strength as a primary atribute.

And, finaly, there is this trigger:

• StrengthDialog
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Stats
  • Conditions
    • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to IntStrAgi[2]
  • Actions
    • Dialog - Hide Stats for (Triggering player)
    • Dialog - Show OtherD[1] for (Triggering player)

It's suposed to hide the first dialog (Something that it really does) and to show the next dialog. Instead of that happening, the screen goes a bit blackish as if the next dialog was being shown, but it's not actualy being shown . The mouse also disapears.

EDIT 2: I've checked the map as per defskull's suggestion. It's now fixed , but I think I'll change the hero selection method to something simpler.
