This is absolutely driving me up a wall. I have this dialog that shows several players as options. What I want is for buttons belonging to players that aren't in the game to be hidden. Well, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Here's my code.

Display Player Chooser
    Options: Action
    Return Type: (None)
    Parameters
        Player = (Triggering player) <Integer>
        Bar Ability = None (Other) <Bar Abilities>
    Grammar Text: Display Player Chooser(Player, Bar Ability)
    Hint Text: (None)
    Custom Script Code
    Local Variables
        Target Player = 0 <Integer>
    Actions
        Variable - Set Bar Ability Being Used[Player] = Bar Ability
        Dialog - Show Player Chooser - Master for (Player group(Player))
        General - While (Conditions) are true, do (Actions)
            Conditions
                (Player Chooser - Master is visible for Player) == True
            Actions
                Dialog - Disable Player Chooser - Player Button[Player] for (Player group(Player))
                Player Group - For each player Target Player in (Active Players) do (Actions)
                    Actions
                        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
                            If
                                Or
                                    Conditions
                                        (Status of player Target Player) == Left The Game
                                        (Status of player Target Player) == Unused
                                        (Controller of player Target Player) == None
                            Then
                                Dialog - Hide Player Chooser - Player Button[Target Player] for (Player group(Player))
                            Else
                                General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
                                    If
                                        Player Owns A Bar(Target Player)
                                        Target Player != 0
                                        Target Player != 9
                                        Target Player != 15
                                    Then
                                        Dialog - Show Player Chooser - Player Button[Target Player] for (Player group(Player))
                                    Else
                                        Dialog - Hide Player Chooser - Player Button[Target Player] for (Player group(Player))
                General - Wait 0.25 Game Time seconds

So basically a certain player initiates the dialog. The button corresponding to that player is disabled. Then it cycles through all players, checking to see if each one is in the game or has a specific unit. If these return false, hide that player's button. And that should be it.

The "Player Owns A Bar" function:

Player Owns A Bar
    Options: Condition
    Return Type: Boolean
    Parameters
        Player = 0 <Integer>
    Grammar Text: Player Owns A Bar(Player)
    Hint Text: (None)
    Custom Script Code
    Local Variables
    Actions
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (Number of Living units in (Buck's Bar & Grille units in (Entire map) owned by player Player matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount)) == 1
            Then
                General - Return True
            Else
                General - Return False

The "for each" action is searching in the active players only. Shouldn't it run trough all players?
