How to implement SuperIKI's dialog engine to your map

1. Create a few variables: They don't need an initial value.
   • Dialog Button Array 'Button'
   • Integer Array 'ButtonIndex'
   • Trigger Array 'ButtonTrigger'
   • Trigger Array 'dialoginput_buttonclicked'
   • String Array 'dialoginput_buttonhotkey'
   • String Array 'dialoginput_buttontext'
   • Integer 'dialoginput_numberofbuttons'
   • Player Group 'dialoginput_playerswhocansee'
   • String 'dialoginput_title'
   • Integer 'dialogreturn_buttonindex'
   • Player 'dialogreturn_player'
2. Add the trigger 'Show Dialog'.
3. That's it.

How to create a dialog with this dialog engine

• It's very easy. It's like: set dialoginput variables, then call the trigger.
  If a button is clicked, you can use the dialogreturn variables to get to know who clicked it. You must understand what the variables stand for:
  

  dialoginput_title

  The title of the dialog you want to create

  dialoginput_numberofbuttons

  The number of buttons it shall have

  dialoginput_buttontext

  The text on the buttons. dialoginput_buttontext[0] is the text on the first button.

  dialoginput_buttonhotkey

  The hotkey for the buttons. dialoginput_buttonhotkey[0] is the hotkey for the first button. They should be simple one character strings, such as "a" or "1".

  dialoginput_buttonclicked

  The trigger for the buttons. dialoginput_buttonclicked[0] is the trigger that is called when the first button is clicked. These triggers are added to the trigger queue, so the last action should be 'remove this trigger from trigger queue'.
  These triggers will be called when a player clicks on a button.

  dialoginput_playerswhocansee

  These are the players the dialog is shown to.

• OK, when a button is clicked and the trigger you specified with 'dialoginput_buttonclicked' is called, you can access several variables:

  dialogreturn_buttonindex

  The index of the clicked button. If the first button was clicked, it's 0. (2nd button -> 1 and so on)

  dialogreturn_player

  The player that clicked on the button

• Choose your event and then set it up like this:
  
  or with hotkeys and colours:
  
  You must set all variables before calling 'Show Dialog'!
  Even the hotkeys. If you don't want hotkeys, set them to an empty string.
  Notice: The first button has index 0, the second has index 1, and so on.
• You can access who pushed the button by referring to variables like this:
  
  You must delete the trigger from the trigger queue after using! Do it like shown above.
