I have this trigger and I know its the problem

Dialog
Events
Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
Conditions
Actions
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 1 (Red)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 2 (Blue)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 3 (Teal)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 4 (Purple)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 5 (Yellow)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 6 (Orange)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 7 (Green)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 8 (Pink)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 9 (Gray)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 10 (Light Blue)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 11 (Dark Green)
Dialog - Show Neutrals for Player 12 (Brown)

Its supposed to show dialog boxes for every player, but instead it locks up the game.

Just got a thought right now, could giving a dialog box to a player who isn't there do it?

I thnik the moderator is gone for 2 weeks, ask Beam or Draco to do it, reach them over PM. Or bump this thread so hard they'll close it so you can make a new one :P

What happens is its like the Dialog box is 1000x its normal size because the entire screen becomes like shaded a bit like the dialog box, and when you hit enter(hitting first button) it unfreezes and does the action. And I have no idea why it does this...

Uhm.. No clue. I suggest trying to do it for only Player 1. If it works then you may be right about the inactive players, however I highly doubt it. Are you testing on B.net? Offline Dialogue Boxes pause the game and actions.

Well I fixed it by taking out the change title action, but now it has no title :/

Hmm, are you changing the title BEFORE showing the boxes?

I fixed that trigger so it only appears to the active players, the dialog box has a problem with having a title, if it has one it gets 1000x the size so you don't even notice its a dialog box :/

Yes, title is done at initilization, showing is down 5 seconds elasped.

The strange thing is it has no title, I took out the change title and now it has no title.

Hmm, leave the title on and test on B.net.

I did test Bnet, same thing, a really huge dialog box, only a section with no rim or button of it you can see.

I'm just gonna leave it this way with no title and put in a message that says what its for.
