johnfn	You have to save each button of the dialog to a variable. Then you have to have an event detecting when a button is pressed, and then a condition to check which one (button) it was. Then just do you action accordingly. Should work.

Panto	Although it didn't used to, I think that "Triggering Player" can be used to get the one who clicked the button. I assume you know how to move to different units depending on which player triggered it.

Too bad, you have to have two variables. Deal with it.

Create a Dialog Variable called MainDialog.
Create a Dialog Button Variable (Array) called DialogButton(2)

Trigger One: Creating the Dialog

Code:

Events: 
	Your Input
	[color=Lime]If possible make it it a Unit - Enters Region Event, allowing a selection of the player in the Actions.[/color]
Conditions: 
	Your Input
Actions:
	
	Dialog - Clear MainDialog [color=Lime]This is only required if this Dialog will appear more than once.[/color]
	Dialog - Change the title of MainDialog to "Your Input"
	Dialog - Create a dialog button for MainDialog labelled Yes
	Set DialogButton(1) = (Last created dialog Button)
	Dialog - Create a dialog button for MainDialog labelled No
	Set DialogButton(2) = (Last created dialog Button)			
	Dialog - Show MainDialog for (Owner of (Entering Unit))

Now say when Player 1 (Red) presses Yes, the trigger must be as follows:

Code:

Events:
	Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for MainDialog
Conditions:
	(Clicked dialog button) Equal to Yes
	:::Player Comparsion::: (Triggering player) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
Actions:
	Your move Actions.

Create copies of the second trigger for every other player.

Tada.

Panto	Alternatively, you could assign units to a unit array indexed by player number, and have only one second trigger.
