i made a trigger to enable you to talk to npc by typing /talk ingame while your near the npc in a region. well one of the functions arent working... i have no idea on any other way to do this. so im not going to ask on how i can work around this but instead the question is: the function turn letterbox mode off for triggering player does not work... why? the function turn letter box mode on for triggering player works just fine.

also how do i give abilities to units? as if you have to talk to an npc to learn the skill? and you dont start with it.

The)TideHunter(	I cannot answer your first question, but to add abilities to units, simply use the: Trigger: Unit - Add SomeAbility to Unit And in future, use [trigger] tags, instead of using [img], writing isent perma-stored localy until removed, and its easier for you to show us a trigger.

To use [trigger] tags simply:

Click the "Copy as Text" button at the top of your trigger.

And then click the icon that says "Wrap [trigger] tags around the selected text.", on the text editor for this site.
Or type:

Code:

[trigger][/trigger]

And in between both of those boxes, paste what you copied from wc3.

Example:

Trigger:

Melee Initialization

Events

Map initialization

Conditions

Actions

Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)

Melee Game - Limit Heroes to 1 per Hero-type (for all players)

Melee Game - Give trained Heroes a Scroll of Town Portal (for all players)

Melee Game - Set starting resources (for all players)

Melee Game - Remove creeps and critters from used start locations (for all players)

Melee Game - Create starting units (for all players)

Melee Game - Run melee AI scripts (for computer players)

And what it actually says:

    Actions
        Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)
