dr_eyeball 16 Posted February 23, 2007 Try using parameters. It'll allow you to select from up to custom 2 lists on the MP start-up dialog. You can use 1 for your start position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_eyeball 16 Posted February 27, 2007 Using dialog's is a massive topic. Creating your initial dialog from scratch could be more work than creating an entire mission. I did a search for "dialog" in this forum and there a quite a few requests about dialogs with no suitable response and I think it's purely because of the complexity, not unwillingness. If you examine the dialogs used by the CTI map, it's quite daunting. I'm guessing you're looking for more of a Template Dialog like a list or group of buttons which you can customise, but I don't know of one yet. That would be really useful. Some scripts/missions that use Dialog's which you can examine are: - ArmA's CTI map - Vektorboson's Dialog Tutorial - Kegetys Spectating Script v1.0. - The Unknown's Dialog weather script. Good luck. I hope someone writes a few Template Dialogs soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
