The 'board' is called a Dialog.
Use the functions to create something.
I will give you a mini-tutorial, but you should look in the tutorial section or search :P.

Mini-tut:

Make a dialog variable (CNTL+B) and call it whatever you want.
Make 2 dialog button variables, and call them Option1 or Option2 or whatever.
Make a trigger like this:

Trigger:

Setup Dialog

Events

'Your Event'

Conditions

Actions

Dialog - Clear YourDialog

Dialog - Change the title of YourDialog to (Your Title)

Dialog - Create a dialog button for YourDialog labelled Option 1 Text

Set Option1 = (Last created dialog Button)

Dialog - Create a dialog button for YourDialog labelled Option 2 Text

Set Option2 = (Last created dialog Button)

Dialog - Show YourDialog for SomePlayer

And for the clicking:

Trigger:

Click

Events

Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for YourDialog

Conditions

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Clicked dialog button) Equal to Option1

Then - Actions

-------- Your actions for button 1 --------

Else - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Clicked dialog button) Equal to Option2

Then - Actions

-------- Your actions for button 2 --------

Else - Actions

Hi !

Dont know if i understand u.
You want to create something where the player can choose weather he wants to go right or left ?
I would do it with dialogs, and if u ask how to do dialogs:
You have to make two triggers, one starts at 0.01 seconds in game (or whenever you want to create the dialog)

Trigger:

Trigger 1

Ereignisse

Zeit - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds

Bedingungen

Aktionen

Dialog - Change the title of Dialog_variable to Your Question

Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog_variable labelled Go to the right way

Set dialog_right_way = (Last created dialog Button)

Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog_variable labelled Go to the left way

Set dialog_left_way = (Last created dialog Button)

Dialog - Zeigen Dialog_variable for Spieler 1 (Rot)

Trigger:

Trigger 2

Ereignisse

Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Dialog_variable

Bedingungen

Aktionen

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

'IF'-Bedingungen

(Clicked dialog button) Gleich dialog_left_way

'THEN'-Aktionen

-------- Here your action for option 1 --------

'ELSE'-Aktionen

-------- Here your action for option 2 --------

if any problem occurs in reading this partial german stuff, send me a pm :P

bye bye N3m,

[edit]: Sry for postin the same stuff - waited too long

PipeDream	Dialogs are awful. Ask yourself if you really want to be using them. To below: They're ugly, slow, and interact in a singularly frustrating way with chat.

N3mezis	hi ! why do u think that dialogs are awful ? (this shouldnt be any spam) :D so far n3m

Hide the dialog at the beggining of the creating, and show them when the buttons are created.

Trigger:

Actions:

Dialog - Hide YourDialog for SomePlayer

Dialog - Clear YourDialog

Dialog - Change the title of YourDialog to (Your Title)

Dialog - Create a dialog button for YourDialog labelled Option 1 Text

Set Option1 = (Last created dialog Button)

Dialog - Create a dialog button for YourDialog labelled Option 2 Text

Set Option2 = (Last created dialog Button)

Dialog - Show YourDialog for SomePlayer

Blade.dk	Be sure that you are not creating (displaying is actually the problem, but in most situations it is best to do it all at the same time) the dialog at "Map Initialization", then it won't work - Instead do it after 0.00 seconds has elapsed.
