[Trigger] ESC Menu

[Elemental91]

So, I want the players to be able to press ESC to get a Dialog menu, but for some reason it's only working for Red right now.

Heres my trigger:

• Events
• Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
• Player - Player 2 (Blue) skips a cinematic sequence
• Player - Player 3 (Teal) skips a cinematic sequence
• Player - Player 4 (Purple) skips a cinematic sequence
• Player - Player 5 (Yellow) skips a cinematic sequence
• Player - Player 6 (Orange) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
• Dialog - Clear DIAESC[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
• Dialog - Change the title of DIAESC[(Player number of (Triggering player))] to Menu
• -------- Learn Skills --------
• Dialog - Create a dialog button for DIAESC[(Player number of (Triggering player))] labelled |cfff5f5f5Learn Ski...
• Set DIAButtons[((Player number of (Triggering player)) + 6)] = (Last created dialog Button)
• -------- Show SP & Job Lvl --------
• Dialog - Create a dialog button for DIAESC[(Player number of (Triggering player))] labelled |cfff5f5f5Show SP &...
• Set DIAButtons[((Player number of (Triggering player)) + 12)] = (Last created dialog Button)
• -------- Cancel --------
• Dialog - Create a dialog button for DIAESC[(Player number of (Triggering player))] labelled Cancel
• Set DIAButtons[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Last created dialog Button)
• Dialog - Show DIAESC[(Player number of (Triggering player))] for (Triggering player)

The events are in there for all players, yet it only works for Red.

it looks like it should work. make sure in the variable editor that the variable is set to 19 not 1. Also whenever u use something more than twice put it in a temp variable and use that temp variable. for this case put player number of triggering player into a variable at the top and use that variable. when u need the + 6 and + 12 use the arithmetic and add them to ur temp integer for that.

also this will help u post triggers easier http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/how-easily-post-triggers-163285/

Why I didn't put "Player Number of triggering player" in a temp variable is because I'm afraid of interference, I also use alot of "Player number of Owner of Triggering Unit" and "Player number of Owner of Casting Unit" If I'd put those in a temp variable then they might interrupt eachother if multiple players were to use those at the same time.

And what do you mean with setting the variable to 19? Which one?

wc3 runs one thread from start to finish at a time so they cant interfere. also u should always use triggering unit and not casting unit or anything else unless necessary.

The DIAESC should be 7 and DIAButtons should be 19 in the variable editor.

Ha! DIAESC was 1, what a silly mistake. Thanks alot!

Also many thanks for the tips, especially on the "can't interfere" one!

its rather simple to make it an Index Dialog. it will save you a lot of time.

Sorry, what? D:

 

[deathismyfriend]

he has it written the write way orthane. he just needed to change a few things which i already stated above. he has no reason to index this at all.

@element
u should also create a boolean for each player and when they use the dialog box turn it off that way they can only use the dialog once.

btw thanks for the rep.

The DIAESC should be 7 and DIAButtons should be 19 in the variable editor.

DIAButtons should be left at 1 since those are created with the GUI actions he uses. If the initial size is changed from 1 to 19, there will be 18 new leaks introduced.

Dialogs can't be created in GUI without custom scripts, that is why the DIAButtons should be set to max player number that is used.

GUI Dialogs are using just show/hide. there is no Create action for dialog. you just set everything up.

Maker is right though

Number of Dialogs = 1 for each player in the game
Number of Buttoms (Players * Buttons for each player just use an array) and that's just for one dialog feature <_> for all players.

ya i made a typo should only be 6 for the dialogs. the buttons should be set to 1
