Voting System/Difficulty selection not working

Falkonic · Dec 4, 2013

I have created a difficulty Menu for Minas Tirith but for some reason it is not working. Can someone plz read through this. Id be extremely thankful.

The dialog does not show to all players and it does not dissapear with the Deactivate Trigger. I tried to hide them but that does not work either.

I have a german version: three words are different
Zeigen-> means show
the weird looking größer-> bigger than
and the weird looking Auslöser-> trigger

Combine always both triggers.. in one you set handicap, and in other one you show next dialog. No need to seperate these 2 types.
Even you could do only 1 trigger with event 'Elasped game time 10 seconds' and put some If/Then/Else block in it.

You also need something if values are equal, maybe 3 vote Easy, 3 vote Medium, and 3 vote Hard.

You can use a loop from Inetger 1-10 to show dialog to Player[loopInteger], to short your code.

fails found:
- When you show Easy dialog, Player 4 has Hard dialog
- When you show Hard dialog, Player 3, 6 have Medium

Then when you have finished voting, there is no need to set this last button 'Ok' into a variable, because no actions follow by clicking it.

After the 12 seconds you can use action Dialog - Hide Dialog, so dialog will disappear for player.

Hope I could help a bit :d .. if you dont understand something just pos it or contact me

I did as you told me. But still the dialog does not seem to go away after deactivating/Hiding it. I uploaded the map. Could you take a look? Really dont know what to do anymore :eekani:

and I can't find the integer loop anywhere.

I see I created a randomizer trigger now as well.

IcemanBo · Dec 4, 2013

Ok I will have a look, but have you tested it online?

If you show Dialog in offline-mode, the game will be paused automatically.. waits and so on wont work until there is a dialog.

Edit1:

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
  - Set Player = (Player((Integer A)))
  - Dialog - Hide CreateMenu for Player
  - Dialog - Hide Easy for Player
  - Dialog - Hide Medium for Player
  - Dialog - Hide Hard for Player

This would replace all your actions in trigger 'deactivate'.

Edit2:
I meant you dont have to set a variable to the 'Ok' button, but you do have to create a button for dialog(if mode is chosen)
If you click any button on dialog, dialog will get closed automatically, so I just meant there is no need to create a variable for it.

Oh that was why oh I get it

. Thx a whole lot. Is the rest okay? I*ll make a different menu for the evil guys (like this) if this one is ok.

If you could explain briefly how to use the integer it would be nice. Adding all players was a pain. You re my hero btw

. I ll mention you in the credits. Is your bnet account identical with this one?

IcemanBo · Dec 4, 2013

You dont have to mention me in credits thx^^

Your randomizer bugs atm, change it, or turn it off for now.. Because if you choose Easy (in singlemode) --> Mediumvotes == HardVotes --> randomizes is runed too --> bug

How loop works?
If you to Loop for IntegerA from 1 to 10
Action in loop will run first with IntegerA= 1

//LoopEnd --> if IntegerA <= 10 loop will run again with IntegerA = 2
// until IntegerA is 10

So you can get all player numbers from 1-10 easily

Sure you'll be the first person added to them

. I really do appreciate it. Still got plenty of work to do (Video Mode, AI, Doors fixing and finally getting the door damage to work (they always regenerate when they close), Sound Music and other stuff). Can I contect you if I am stuck again? I found a pretty good workaround and I post the trigger here if somebody else/wants or needs it. It is a perfect trigger for a 3 difficulty voting system.

IcemanBo · Dec 4, 2013

Yes, if you post here I'm sure people will help you.

Of course you also can contact me here or in in b-net.

Falkonic · Dec 4, 2013

Corrected it once more. Previous version did not consider the case of Easy=Medium=< or so on. Also made a specific randomizer between the modes that are actually chosen. Now it works perfect. Thx for all. I am pretty sure I'll need your or other peoples help sometime around.
