Ok, what is wrong with these dialog triggers? Basically, I am trying to create a allies-type dialog driven submenu for 12 players to make/break alliances, share units, etc. WITHOUT having to create a dozen seperate instances of the same dialog (which is tedious and time consuming). The method I came up with was to attach a unique place in a single array to every possible permutation of a given dialog event (so the same dialog array has a dozen places for making an alliance with player 1 - one instance for each player). Unfortunately, when I call these dialogs in game WC3 locks up. Can anyone see what the problem is? This is the initialization trigger... Trigger:  For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  Loop - Actions
 If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  If - Conditions
  ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing
Then - Actions
  Dialog - Change the title of Relations[(Integer A)] to Manage Relations Wi...
 Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to User) and ((Matching player) Not equal to (Player((Integer A)))))) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Dialog - Create a dialog button for Relations[(Integer A)] labelled (Colored Text Preset - Gold (c| Included) + (Name of (Picked player)))
 Set RelationsButton[((Player number of (Picked player)) + (12 x ((Integer A) - 1)))] = (Last created dialog Button)
Dialog - Create a dialog button for Relations[(Integer A)] labelled Cancel
For each (Integer B) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Dialog - Change the title of Player[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] to ((Name of (Player((Integer A)))) + : Choose An Action)
Dialog - Create a dialog button for Player[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] labelled Offer Alliance
Set AllyButton[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] = (Last created dialog Button)
Dialog - Create a dialog button for Player[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] labelled Declare War
Set UnallyButton[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] = (Last created dialog Button)
Dialog - Create a dialog button for Player[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] labelled Offer Surrender
Set SurrenderButton[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] = (Last created dialog Button)
Dialog - Create a dialog button for Player[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] labelled Appoint Military Co...
Set CommanderButton[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] = (Last created dialog Button)
Dialog - Create a dialog button for Player[((Integer A) + (12 x ((Integer B) - 1)))] labelled Cancel
Else - Actions
 Do nothingAnd this is the call dialog trigger... Trigger:  Foreign Relations
 Events
 Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Foreign Relations
Actions
Dialog - Show Relations[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] for (Owner of (Casting unit))While I was typing this, I think I remembered an old bug where you couldnt assemble dialogs on map initialization, but you had to wait a second or so of game-time. I'm not sure if I am right about that, and if it really is that simple, I will be pissed. But I'm gonna post this while I go to test that, just in case you guys can spot another problem, or that is not it. Thanks! |
