i just started a map and i need dialogs in the begining, but they are not showing up. i ave the map come out of cinimatic mode, and open a dialog, but when the dialog should show up, the screen darkens, and nothing happens. any one have any idea what the problem might be? or do you need more info?

Never trust dialogs, they're only trouble. Try putting a wait between the "Turn off cinematic mode" and the dialog, might work.

i thought that might be the problem, so i put a wait .01 sec, it didnt help, so i made it .10, it didnt work. i guess ill try a longer wait just to see if it will help

edit: i tried 5 secs and that still didnt work:(

You can't use them on map initialization triggers

Do elapsed time 0 seconds.

If that doesn't work, then you're not doing the dialog part right.

that might be the problem... its in the same trigger as a whole cinimatic and the even is map initialization, thanks, ill try it

EDIT: well i guess there were 2 problems, that, and i had the dialogs renamed in the same trigger as the buttons were named. oncei moved the renamings the dialog showed up, thanks for your help guys
