Yo need help with allying!!!!!

[arafor]

Guys I understand I can make triggers that make it so you say: ally color, but I want people to be able to ally each other via the menu bar f11 or f10 im not sure. If you can help me out that would be great.

I don't think you can create triggers that function in the menu, which is F10.
However, it is aways possible to create dialogs that pop up when a player does something, such as use an ability or type a chat message.

Simple example:

• Events
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -ally dialog as An exact match
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -ally dialog as An exact match
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -ally dialog as An exact match
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -ally dialog as An exact match
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -ally dialog as An exact match
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -ally dialog as An exact match
    • Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -ally dialog as An exact match
    • Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -ally dialog as An exact match
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Dialog - Show (YourDialog) for (Triggering player)

That's a very basic summary othe SHOWING trigger. You can create the dialog in another trigger.

Example:

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Dialog - Create a dialog button for YourDialog labelled Ally with <EachPlayer>
  • Set AllyRedDlgBtn = (Last Created Dialog button)
  • -------- Create more dlg buttons and assign variables to each of them so that they all represent a player --------
  • Dialog - Change the title of YourDialog to Ally Dialog
  • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Dialog - Hide YourDialog for (Picked player))

The above trigger pretty much creates the dialog.

This does seem like a way to do it but ive seen games where you can ally and turn hostile against others by using f10. Your idea is an alternative but the f10 way is the one I really would like to use.

 

[arafor]

so is there anyway to make it so you can ally via f10?

Its impossible to do direct in the Menu, what you've seen must have been dialog buttons. :/

 

[arafor]

No it wasn't dialg buttons it was direectly in the menu Isaw this in an rts I forget which though

 

[The_Silent]

thats is impossible

 

[arafor]

well then I will have to find other ways if what you say is true

 

[Lord of the Korn]

thats is impossible

actually it is possible.. only in melee games tough (and i think you need to change some stuff before hosting the mapp, too but not sure)

If You see it happen, reconfirm it...... I am pretty sure if its true that someone did it, it is not GUI triggered... Might be some advanced jass
