[Trigger] Unique Select System Help Please

Daedin · Sep 14, 2008

Ok so in my rpg im using a unique selection system where you choose your gender (Male or Female) and then a dialogue box comes up and you get to choose your main attribute. Problem is, my dialogue arrays dont work, no one other than player 1 red can see the dialogue and if someone enters the selection circle b4 red chooses main attribute, it destroys his dialogue...Heres the triggers, im probably missing something obvious or overcomplicating things but anyways...help is appreciated...

First, you need to learn to use a more dynamic system, instead of repeating code for all players. Anyways, I'll try. Be back in a bit, need to remake that.

After looking at it I don't see anything else expect that you don't have a trigger for selecting a dialog button for any players except red (player 1).

Try using and modifying my trigger? BTW, this is untested.
-All players see the same dialog, so you only need one copy of it.

Dialog
- Events
  - Map initialization
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Dialog - Change the title of dialog to MAIN ATTRIBUTE
  - Dialog - Create a dialog button for dialog labelled Strength
  - Set dialogButton[1] = (Last created dialog Button)
  - Dialog - Create a dialog button for dialog labelled Agility
  - Set dialogButton[2] = (Last created dialog Button)
  - Dialog - Create a dialog button for dialog labelled Intelligence
  - Set dialogButton[3] = (Last created dialog Button)

ShowDialog
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wisp
- Actions
  - -------- isMale thing --------
  - Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)
  - Dialog - Show dialog for (Triggering player)

SelectDialog
- Events
  - Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for dialog
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Dialog - Hide dialog for (Triggering player)
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Clicked dialog button) Equal to dialogButton[1]
    - Then - Actions
      - -------- Change to your male and female unit (Strength) --------
      - Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
      - Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    - Else - Actions
  - -------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Clicked dialog button) Equal to dialogButton[2]
    - Then - Actions
      - -------- Change to your male and female unit (Agility) --------
      - Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
      - Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    - Else - Actions
  - -------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Clicked dialog button) Equal to dialogButton[3]
    - Then - Actions
      - -------- Change to your male and female unit (Intelligence) --------
      - Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
      - Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    - Else - Actions

Well if two people try to get heroes at the same time wont the dialog mess up?

Just tested it, and it doesnt even show the dialog box when I enter near the circle of power.

-Edit #2-

Tested it again and found the problem, you can't create dialogs at map initialization so I changed to 1 second into game. I need to test it with 2 ppl now.. then I can tell if it works or not.

Dr Super Good · Sep 14, 2008

In that case eithor add a limate that it only works for hero at a time but that hero as 15 second to choose and it will not work for other people till the time is up or he chooses.

Or you simply make 12 dialogue objects, one for each player and display that player's dialogue.

Ijust tested it with 2 people and it worked! thank you!
