Hello everyone

i looked up the search function but didnt seem to find anything related.

Following problem: Im creating a Trivia map with several Questions that are answered thorugh a dialog button, for every wrong answer theres an array that saves the dialog item. Now in my event i have a switch case, where i want some actions to happen if ANY index of the array is used. but i cant seem to find the order/preset for the

if Buttons[]

Does anyone know?

Dialog - Any Dialog Item is Clicked by Player Any Player

Guess that's what you were looking for?

And then in your actions..

If (clicked dialog item) == YourButton[1] then

Or with switch/case if you want to.

I used the default setting for a workaround but now the game menu dialog item is causing problems.

Can you try to explain the question a little better as I am not 100% understanding on what you are wanting to do...

From what I read I believe your question was answered by s3rius, but you may want to throw in a FOR statement that loops from 0 to (MAX ARRAY LENGTH) and increments X.

If (clicked dialog item) == YourButton[X] then...

That will loop over every item in the array and if it was clicked it will proceed.

@zachet: Go

from what I understand there's no For in SC2edit, so you'll want a do .. while loop I think.

Yeah sorry its hard to get the picture if you dont know for what i use it for.

So basically i have a series of questions that you get some answers to choose from, if you pass you move on if not you die.

So i had this idea to put all the wrong answers into an array and on every question theres just 1 right variable and this big array of wrong answers.

On every a new question i would put up a switch function

1. right variable 2. array of wrongs 3. default = cancel

and i asked myself how i could just let the programm look out for the array without knowing which index just look for any index doesnt matter, basically useing it like a boolean that means = wrong

im kinda new to programming so i guess theres tons of better solutions but i want to learn and asked myself if it would be possible with this array.

Hope this lightens things up a bit.

At the moment i use the default of the switch function as the wrong, really works out without this array of wrongs.

heres an example:
