True. What I am trying to do is find out if the player has completed each difficulty level (there are 6) with a certain unit, let's say Marine. The bank are loaded and the encryption/decryption works fine as the values in the first example directly translate to the variables in the second example. The only thing is, is that the loop doesn't seem to realize when the statement is true, which is odd, because when I type it out (first example) it works fine.
I was just trying to find out if there is an error in my loop that I am not seeing. The loop (should) works like this:
Loop through the difficulty levels and through the types of units (all have been assigned numbers for ease of tracking). So it runs like this: Unit 1 - Difficulty 1 - true/false. Unit 1 - Difficulty 2 - true/false etc...
In the first example, znevar is Marine and the letter in front of that is for the difficulty level that I combine together with Combine String. The values are like that in the bank file, but the loop somehow doesn't go into the true part.
If you could just look at the loop and see if there are any errors that I am not seeing, that would be great. :)
Thanks again Helral! I am reading all about them now and see myself doind a major overhaul on my code. I have already reprogrammed everything into loops and variables and have saved so much space, not to mention how much easier it is to debug.

Just a quick comment first. The column, page and display achievement xxxxx variables are just so that it is easier to read the code.
Now on to the questions. I have a line in the first trigger: "Dialog - Hide Display Achievements Dialog Labels[i] for (Active Players)". If I use (Player Group (Triggering Player)) then when I click the achievement button, I get all of the labels at once on top of each other. If I just click through, then it is fine after it goes through all 4 pages. I have no idea why that is, but when I use (Active Players) it works fine.
Next question. I create all of the image files in the first trigger. Do I then need to do a show/hide with an IF THEN statement to show or hide them all depending on what "Display Achievements Current Page" is equal to, or is there an easier way?
Thanks a million. I am almost there.
Faust
P.S. Would this be "easier" with Action Definitions?
Ok, I now have it working fine. Whew! :-) What I am wondering now, is how to get the images that I show for the achievements to only show on that page.
For example:
User opens achievements window and see all of his achievements on page 1. When he clicks to page 2, the achievements for page1 are hidden and his page 2 achievements are shown. Every player has the same achievements.
The trigger for the actual achievement dialog and this is the part I don't get. I have 2 images that will show. As you will see they will show on all pages. I just need them to show on page 1 though. When I go to page 2, I want different images to show, etc...

Thank you Dustin374 for posting your map and I just modified what you posted to what I needed.
Hi Psyched! Thanks for posting this and I hope the offer still stands. I made a thread about a custom achievement dialog and received some great help, but I still need a tip or two. The thread can be found here. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Ok, so this is what I was trying to do and it works for me when I am testing. The question is, will it work for 4 players and each player can use it without affecting the other players?
//
edit: I noticed that the buttons are no longer hiding the previous screens. Also, I am getting the famous param/value errors due to localization. I think I can fix that on my own though.
Actually, the achievements are the same for each player. I basically show a red image if the specific user doesn't have the achievement and a normal image if he/she does. Each player has the same dialog, but whether or not the image is red or normal depends on each user's own achievements. I hope that was understandable. :)
What Dustin sent may be what I am looking for but I still have to mess with it to make sure. Like I wrote in the post above, there are a lot of All Players where I think Triggering Player should be used...but I may be wrong. If you could have a look at the map he posted, that would help a great deal.
Again, to reiterate, I need a the same dialog to show for each of the four players individually. For example, if player one and player two are both looking at the dialog at the same time, they should be able to change pages and close the dialog without affecting the other player.
I've attached a map I did that demonstrtes how to achieve what you're
trying to do.
Thanks Dustin! I did however notice that you show the dialog items to all players. Shouldn't that be Triggering Player?
Also, to make the dialog appear after clicking an Achievement button, I would just show for triggering player right? And after clicking a Close button, hide for triggering player? Am I getting this? ^^
Hi guys. I have learned so much from this site and wish to thank you all for posting your knowledge!!
I have been trying to create a 4 page ( or just a scrolling dialog would be fine too. basically I want to be able to add new achievements without too much work ) custom Achievement dialog for my game. It works fine ( although my programming leaves much to be desired ) for me when I test it, but when multiple players are in the game, it goes wacky. For example: If I open the dialog, and then another player opens the dialog, only he can scroll through the pages. The achievements earned are loaded and saved correctly. I am just having a problem with the player group (player) or even triggering player.
I was hoping that someone could possibly do a tutorial on something like this before I go insane. I think I just programmed it wrong as I have zero loops and I think this is necessary ( there are a lot of achievements ) to be able to have them all in one trigger.
What I was trying to do:
There is an Achievements button that is shown for up to 4 players.
When any player clicks on the Achievements button, it hides and shows the Achievements dialog with all Achievements that player has earned.
The player should be able to switch between pages (or if this can be done with a scroll bar, even better) and be able to close each page without affecting another player's Achievement dialog.
Relatively simple I think, and I have most of it working. I just think I went about it all wrong.
Please help me save my sanity and write a tutorial for this. My code is a mess. I have way too many variables and triggers after watching numerous other tutorials on similar dialogs.
Thanks for reading.
Faust
P.S. I can post the code I have if needed, but I would rather not as I think it is just a huge mess.

True. What I am trying to do is find out if the player has completed each difficulty level (there are 6) with a certain unit, let's say Marine. The bank are loaded and the encryption/decryption works fine as the values in the first example directly translate to the variables in the second example. The only thing is, is that the loop doesn't seem to realize when the statement is true, which is odd, because when I type it out (first example) it works fine.
I was just trying to find out if there is an error in my loop that I am not seeing. The loop (should) works like this:

In the first example, znevar is Marine and the letter in front of that is for the difficulty level that I combine together with Combine String. The values are like that in the bank file, but the loop somehow doesn't go into the true part.
If you could just look at the loop and see if there are any errors that I am not seeing, that would be great. :)

Hi guys,
I have the following in a save trigger:
Note: There are only 4 players at most. This: "Algorythm_Rank[(Picked player)][12] = 1" refers to the 12th unit type and not 12th player
This works just fine, but is very inefficient. I had this in a loop with arrays but it wasn't saving. See here:
I can't figure out why this isn't working. Any tips on something I may have missed? The values exist in the player bank, but somehow it doesn't work.
Thanks!!
