Voting List - Dialog Question

[Kam]

So I created a dialog box with an array of 6 buttons that I want to cycle through when clicked, so that the dialog box doesn't close it just updates the button name and this can be done for a period of 45 seconds:

Enable Heroes -> Disable Heroes

Normal Resources -> Medium Resources -> High Resources

All Tiers -> Tier 1 Only -> Tier 2 Only

No Research Done -> All Research Done

Map Bounds -> Boarderless Map

Done


Either when the 45 seconds is up or when the done button is clicked is when the results for each button are dealt with. So far all I've been able to do is set up the dialog box with the 6 buttons - however I can't figure out how to get them to replace each other and how to keep the whole box from disappearing when one button is clicked.

Dialog - Clear dialog will clear the values, then you can hide it.
Here is a tutorial: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/dialogs.php ;]

Mmm so if I wanted to do this for up to 12 players I'd have 12 sets of variables?

 

[Pharaoh_]

No, you would have variables with Array ticked, referring as:

• For each (IntegerA) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Dialog[Player number of Player(IntegerA)] = (Last created dialog)

The above could also be

• For each (IntegerA) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Dialog[(IntegerA)] = (Last created dialog)

and when the button is clicked

• Dialog - Hide Dialog[Player number of (Triggering player)]

 

[Kam]

I am confused, apologies.

I created the below trigger, it creates the first few buttons and does not yet deal with what happens when one is clicked, but my concern is that the dialog box is hidden and I wanted the buttons to cycle through after you clicked them.

I've seen this done before, specifically on Dawn of Chaos, but I don't know how they did it.

I modified it a bit to show you how to enhance it with new options, after the button is clicked:

• ShowDialog
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Setup for Dialog 1 --------
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: set udg_Vote[GetForLoopIndexA()]= DialogCreate( )
        • Dialog - Change the title of Vote[(Integer A)] to Voting Options
        • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Vote[(Integer A)] labelled Heroes Enabled
        • Set DialogButtonArray[(Integer A)] = (Last created dialog Button)
        • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Vote[(Integer A)] labelled Default Resources
        • Set DialogButtonArrayB[(Integer A)] = (Last created dialog Button)
        • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Vote[(Integer A)] labelled Done
        • Set DialogButtonArrayC[(Integer A)] = (Last created dialog Button)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing
            • ((Player((Integer A))) controller) Equal to User
          • Then - Actions
            • Dialog - Show Vote[(Integer A)] for (Player((Integer A)))
          • Else - Actions

That makes sense, but how would I make it so when you choose one option and then click "sure" it brings you back to the original menu but with the option button for that option removed? That way I can use the same menu for all the different options and the only way to exit is to click done or wait the 45 seconds.


It might help you to see the current voting system I use.

You should use arrays from variables, those are long triggers :?
