[Solved] Dialog Problem

Aeroblyctos · Mar 2, 2011

Hey.

I have problem with dialogs. When I press whatever button every single button is activated. I wonder why? And how do I fix this?

Should I do dialogs somehow differently so that they won't bug? Like what?

This type of system is working elsewhere, but not in this. I've tried remaking this dialog many times before but always the same bug occurs. Maybe these triggers are corrupted?

Moved to Triggers & Scripts.

Maker · Mar 2, 2011

I could not spot the issue by looking at the triggers. Could you post a test map?

Aeroblyctos · Mar 2, 2011

I couldn't either and that's why I think the code is corrupted.

Maker · Mar 2, 2011

U can has working dialog nao.

Is nice?

By the sound of the problem (have not looked at code) you have...
Your check to see which button was pressed is wrong, resulting in it always returning true whenever any button is pressed (why all buttons run). This can be caused by eithor dumb conditional logic (redesign needed to fix) or a bug with the button identification (variables do not contain values you expect them to).

You may also be making the dialog at map initialization which is not supported (will bug the dialog). Always make it any time after map initialization.

Use:

Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds

Okay, thanks. But how did you actually fix this? Just added one boolean variable? Did that fix everything? I would like to prevent this happening in the future.

I see. But I think I have prevented all those options.

I create the dialog every time it's needed.

defskull · Mar 3, 2011

I mean, if your Dialog uses Map INIT as its event, just change to that Event
Because as DSG said, it is bugged when you initiate the Dialog Event using Map INIT as Event

Aeroblyctos · Mar 3, 2011

Yup, but I don't use that event. The dialog is created when it's needed.

I made the dialog to be cleared only when necessary (when there's need to add a button). I moved the Dialog - Clear to right before Run Kaza Dialog line. Added the boolean also.

Note that the boolean must be true before creating the dialog the first time. But you could reverse the logic.

Dr Super Good · Mar 3, 2011

Remember that in multiplayer games, it is possible to send a dialog click order even if it is not visible for a player (so you need to make sure the buttons only do stuff when they should).

Proof of this is the use of GetLocalPlayer to show a dialog locally. It will not dsync the player despite with all logic from the other player's view point he should never be able to click the button. I do not know why someone has not made a hack for this yet as it could be used to seriosuly bug so many custom maps.

Aeroblyctos · Mar 4, 2011

I see.

Well, this problem is now solved and I get the idea. Thanks to everyone who helped, especially you Maker & Dr Super Good!
