[JASS] Timerdialog doesn't show up

[xxdingo93xx]

Title says it. Here's the code, don't know what's wrong:

globals
     private constant real SELECTION_TIME = 5.
     private timer t
     private timerdialog td
endglobals

function StartHeroSelection takes nothing returns nothing
      set t = NewTimer()
      set td = CreateTimerDialog(t)
      call TimerDialogSetTitle(td, "Time to choose ")
      call TimerDialogDisplay(td, true)
      call TimerStart(t, SELECTION_TIME, false, function onCountdown)
endfunction

The function will be called, same for the onCountdown function. Already checked that. The timerdialog's handleId is not 0 as well. Any idea?

Maybe it needs buttons in order to get displayed?

Can you display it at "map initialization" ?
I thnik you must delay it.

It's not a dialog with buttons, but the frame with a caption made for a timer. I know, it is confusing that it's called timerdialog, it should be something like timerwindow ...

looks like you're right. Can't be used at map init. Thank you.

Oh right.. gotcha. I should've known, but I've never created that in jass

Me neither. I keep running into these kind of problems because of this

Jass is so random anyway.

Well, i'm still not sure if you can create them at map init, but just not display it (i never cared to test it).
It would make sense if it's the case.

Because well it's hard to display something during map init, right ?

Yeah that sounds familiar.
