Read before you judge (trigger help-dialog)

I know you guys said to try it on my own. But theres a trigger problem that wont allow me to play my map. I have isolated it and it has to do with a dialog problem. Here is all i have.

I have it like that becuase i have two teams. One good the other evil. The dialog is there so that if you choose Fire you get your corresponding unit. But when i load it to play it says.....

This applicaton has encountered a critical error:

FATAL ERROR!

Thats what it says exactly

GrayS:

That's a lot of trigger code and its really kinda hard to parse through. Can you post or email your map or that part of it so we can see if we can recreate the error and troubleshoot it? If not, it is virtually impossible for me to help you.

The only thing that I could suggest is that it looks like you are trying to create a dialog at the map initialization. For reasons I do not understand but have read about, it seems there are problems with that. You may want to use an event that triggers at an elapsed game time of 1 second (anything more than 0) and see if that helps. I'm not sure I ever saw that this leads to a processor memory access violation, but I suppose it is conceivable.

Hey

Alright i will post my map later on when i get to my computer but here is what i am trying to do.

Previous to the game:
8 players join online and 4 get on a bad team and the other 4 get on a good team.

What this means:
They are then divided to thier teams and are given a different quest to finish before the other team can finish thier quest.

Start of the game:
A dialog will show up asking them what elemental they wish to be (i.e. Earth, Wind, Fire, Water.) then when they choose their certain element will appear on the map.

What this means:
When they choose one of the elements thier adjoining side of the element has to show. Meaning that if they are from 5-8 (good team) and they pick water then good water appears and not bad. If they are 1-4 (bad team) and they pick water then evil water appears and not good.

Problem:
I tried my best to make it work but the memory error thing happens and i dont know how to check if it works.

What this means:
I need someone good at triggers to help me figure out whats wrong with my map.

Thx
Ill post post my map later.

There were a couple of problems. The crash problem was the result of the indexes to the menu arrays being undefined. I added two variable set commands as shown below to define Interger_A and Integer_B and the crash went away. Undefined variables get you every time!

But, the dialog still did not display correctly, since all these triggers were under the event “Map Initialization.†I changed that event to a 1 second elapsed game time and the dialog displays correctly. The modified trigger is below, but I have not posted the entire map again since these changes are minor.

I’m not sure if the rest of the selection triggers will function as you intend now, but this should get you past the crash so you can troubleshoot any additional problems. If you want me to look more at it, I will.
