Dialog onLoad Not Working

This is starting to really annoy me. It seems wherever I try and put this code it just doesn't work yet everytime I output the variables they all show the right stuff so it will clearly go into the IF's and stuff, and I've also tried multiple ways at editing the dialog controls and tried disableSerialization.

Please someone figure this out. I just want a very simple system where when the dialog loads it will call a script. In that script it will load some variables from the players namespace (the player that opened the dialog) and then if those variables are equal to something then disable a button and set the buttons text to something.

Here's the addAction script to open the dialog

// [target, caller, ID, arguments]

private ["_unit", "_sign", "_loadout", "_hasLoaded", "_playerData", "_actCtrl", "_rank"];

_sign = _this select 0;
_unit = _this select 1;

if (local _unit) then {
createDialog "WS_GUI_Jobs";
};

Here's my dialog.hpp

class WS_GUI_Jobs
{
idd = -1;
movingenable = false;

onLoad = "_this call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers 'ui\jobs\init.sqf';";

class controls
{

Is the code behind onLoad supposed to be in quotation marks ? I looked up one of my dialogues and I don't have these. 

onLoad = [] spawn Revo_fnc_onDialogueLoad;

Also, you can remove the check in the addaction if the unit is local. The unit that calls the addAction is always local.

Not sure about the quotes, documentation on dialogs is scarce but I'll try it thanks

Arma will automatically add quotes, but it's safer to just use them.

Your problem is likely caused by this line here:

WS_GUI_Jobs_Display = _display;

You can only store displays in uiNamespace global variables. You also don't need to disable serialization since the display is being passed by reference. :)

Ah okay, I got it all working with storing the display in WS_GUI_Jobs_Display but I'll change it to uiNamespace just to be sure :D

Wait, really? Perhaps my memory was wrong...but I definitely had a similar issue recently that was solved by using uiNamespace. Weird.

After changing it to uiNamespace it works exactly the same, but somehow it felt different.. more... reliable...

Where would you say is the best place to store it?

Store it wherever you think is best and suits your needs

Well that's odd:

No, what is odd is that you think this message means display can ONLY be stored in uiNamespace.

Also you get the same message (should not store in *mission namespace*) if you try to store in profileNamespace, so what does this tell you??? That missionNamespace == profileNamespace???

profileNamespace setVariable ["display", findDisplay 46]

The word "only" was obviously a mistake on my part, but to use your example:

missionNamespace gives an error

profileNamespace gives an error

uiNamespace doesn't give an error

Seems strange to conclude from this that missionNamespace == profileNamespace. More reasonable to conclude that uiNamespace doesn't produce an error and is therefore a safe place to store display variables. No?

parsingNamespace also doesnt produce an error
