Im trying to create menu's for each of my players so that they can choose their element, the problem is it wont work the way i want it to. Its sort of hard to explain so ill attach the map.

Basically its a multiplayer map so i need everyone to be able to have a menu and select their race, i tried it once and whatever P1 made it did the same for everyome else. I tried splitting up the files (so they were not under one trigger) and now i get multpile menus for player one when he should only have his menu (6 buttons)

Ok ive messed about for a bit and got the Menu working for P1 Red, but im still having problems setting it up so each player can make a selection.

Ill attach the new map.

Make a seperate dialog ariable and buttons for each player. That's the easiest way.

I did that for the first map (top of the page) but it doesnt work, it duplicates the map on P1 Reds screen, if you can have a look and youll see what i mean.

I cant expalin very well but ill give it a shot:

Ok If you use the first map this will happen:
Start game as player 1 red: As soon as the map starts you should get a window popup with 6 options in (fire,earth,wind,water,light and dark)

Now if you load the map again this will happen:
The window pops up again this time with the original 6 buttons + another 6 buttons for every player whos playing the game.

What im try ing to achive:
A popup window for every player so that they can choose a selection and have the corrisponding unit to the button created for them.

Like i said im not very good at explaining.
Hope that helps

Yeah i do have MSN but im not keen on using it while having the WE open. Main reason for this is that my pc has a fast proccessor ect but only 256megs of ram so things run very slow. If you need my MSN though just ask.
