I have 2 Varibles:

Money screen (Background) = No Dialog <Dialog>
Money screen text = No Dialog Item <Dialog Item>

3 Triggers:

Open bank
Create money screen
Add 1000$ to bank

Open bank
    Events
        Game - Map initialization
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Bank - Preload and synchronize bank "Bank of Agria" for player 1

Create money screen
    Events
        Game - Map initialization
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Dialog - Create a Modal dialog of size (400, 400) at (0, 0) relative to Center of screen
        Variable - Set Money screen (Background) = (Last created dialog)
        Dialog - Create a Label for dialog Money screen (Background)
        Variable - Set Money screen text = (Last created dialog item)
        Dialog - Set Money screen text text to ("Money: " + (Text((Load "Money" of section "Player1" from bank (Last opened bank) as integer value)))) for (All players)
        Dialog - Show Money screen (Background) for (All players)

Add 1000$ to bank
    Events
        Game - Player Any Player types a chat message containing "money", matching Exactly
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Bank - Open bank "Bank of Agria" for player 1
        Bank - Store integer 1000 as "Money" of section "Player1" in bank (Last opened bank)
        Bank - Save bank (Last opened bank)
        Dialog - Set Money screen text text to ("Money: " + (Text((Load "Money" of section "Player1" from bank (Last opened bank) as integer value)))) for (All players)

Problem:

When I type "money" it adds 1000. But when I type "money" again value is still 1000. Any idea whats wrong? Can I tell bank somehow to - (minus)or + (plus) money somehow? What "Store" actually means? Is it same as "+"?

I lol'd at how your bank is actually a bank.

Anyways, "store" basically means "set". If you want it to add 1000, then use an arithmetic function (1000 + ((Load "Money" of section "Player1" from bank), etc.

Thanks for help. New line is:

Bank - Store integer ((Load "Money" of section "Player1" from bank (Last opened bank) as integer value) + 1000) as "Money" of section "Player1" in bank (Last opened bank)

Now I have working system. (=screen that shows amount of money in bank) but when I close the map and open it again "money" value is still 0. So my system does something wrong. If I had 4000$ before I closed my map and when I open it again I should have that 4000$ - not 0.

I have and idea to add somekind of money system for my campaign and I need to store money (or something else) amount between maps.

Also where can I find actual bank file on my computer?

Try uploading the map online and then testing it. I don't believe that banks save in test mode

They do.
As far as i can see, you forgot to open the bank bevore setting the dialog item text.

Found bank files from:

C:\Users\Terhonator\Documents\StarCraft II\Banks

Did lot of testing and now everything works well:

My triggers:

Open bank + Create money screen
    Events
        Game - Map initialization
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Bank - Preload and synchronize bank "KorhalBank" for player 1
        Bank - Open bank "KorhalBank" for player 1
        Bank - Save bank (Last opened bank)
        Dialog - Create a Modal dialog of size (400, 400) at (0, 0) relative to Center of screen
        Variable - Set Money screen (Background) = (Last created dialog)
        Dialog - Create a Label for dialog Money screen (Background)
        Variable - Set Money screen text = (Last created dialog item)
        Dialog - Set Money screen text text to ("Money: " + (Text((Load "Money" of section "Player1" from bank (Last opened bank) as integer value)))) for (All players)
        Dialog - Show Money screen (Background) for (All players)

Add 1000$ to bank
    Events
        Game - Player Any Player types a chat message containing "money", matching Exactly
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Bank - Open bank "KorhalBank" for player 1
        Bank - Store integer ((Load "Money" of section "Player1" from bank (Last opened bank) as integer value) + 1000) as "Money" of section "Player1" in bank (Last opened bank)
        Bank - Save bank (Last opened bank)
        Dialog - Set Money screen text text to ("Money: " + (Text((Load "Money" of section "Player1" from bank (Last opened bank) as integer value)))) for (All players)

Updated map file.

I'm not sure is it necessary to have all 3 (preload, open and save) functions but it seems to work.

I did all testing offline so online or offline doesn't matter.

EDIT: Updated map file again
