The units themselves aren't triggering the trigger. Try a unit group.

Maybe this works?

Code:

Conditions
(none)
Actions
-Pick every unit in (playable map area) owned by player 1 (red) and do Order (picked Unit) to Attack-move to (center of Playable map area)

I got a question.

How the Hell do you test which dialog button has been clicked? If you use the condition "Dialogu button equal to" you have to have a dialog button saved as a variable.

But if you have a dialog button variable, there is no way to put the variable into your dialog! Argh!

Ok here is what you should do...

Go to variables.

Click Add Variable.

Check Array.

Name the Variable MoveTo.

Leave size (if you have TFT) alone.

Make the variable a Dialog.

You should now have a dialog array!

Good, now go to add variable again. Name this one Buttons1.

Check Array.

Leave size alone.

Change to Dialog Button.

(Create a Dialog Button Array for every button that will be on your dialog)

Now, the actions that create the dialog and the right buttons are:

Dialog - Clear MoveTo[Player Number of Triggering Player].
Dialog - Change the Title of MoveTo[Player Number of Triggering Player] to Attack at
Dialog - Create a Dialog Button labeled Center for MoveTo[Player Number of Triggering Player]
Set Buttons1[Player Number of Triggering Player] to Last Created Dialog.

(keep doing the last 2 actions for every button you created)

There! We arent done yet, though.

Now make a new trigger.

Event:
A Dialog Button is Clicked for MoveTo[1] (or in other words, player 1 clicks a button on his dialog)

Condition:
None

Actions:
If(Clicked Dialog Button = Buttons[1]) then do Whatever else do nothing.




And the whatever is:

Unit Group - Pick Every Player in Playable Map Area owned by Player 1 and do Unit - Order Picked Unit to move to center of playable map area.





And don't be afraid to take your time, i had to go over Republicola's Exporter Tutorial 5 times before I got it (I'm not slow, I screwed up in the animation section and gave up)

ENJOY! and pm me if you somehow do not understand.
