Hi All, I've been trying to create prettier dialog buttons because the default ones are so ugly. They look okay until they're clicked or hovered over. How can I fix this?

Also I've noticed a lot of normal over hover over type images, they look like they're meant to be used as button backgrounds - but I have no clue how to do so... Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.

Hey sorry, the actual validator type is called Unit Compare Damage Dealt/Taken Time,... but it might as well as be what I said.

Here's a test map so you can understand more concretely.

2 Validators

• Unit Compare Damage Dealt Time
  • Compare: Greater Than
  • Value: x seconds
• Unit Compare Damage Taken Time
  • Compare: Greater Than
  • Value: x seconds

1 Behavior

• Buff
  • Modification - Cloak
  • Validators (Disable) - Add our validators

You need to create the validators and change the parent type to what I listed. But basically this is what I did, the other misc stuff you probably know how to do.

are you sure yo can move them? I've found a different way to move them by moving the inventorypanel instead. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/7592200033 This guy says that you can't move them directly.

Can you put up a test map?

Have you tried? It's not working I'm pretty sure I have the right container too lol

Generally i do something

unitgroup g = UnitGroup(blah blah);
unit fog;
int i;

for (i = 0; UnitGroupUnit(g, i) != null; i += 1){
fog = UnitGroupUnit(g, i);
blah blah
}

or instead of UnitGroupUnit(g, i) != null you can do i <= UnitGroupCount(g, c_unitCountAll) it's the same thing, better yet save the maxUnitIndex to a variable instead of checking it every loop.

3 Validator(s)
UnitLastTimeDealtDamage - x seconds, greater
UnitLastTimeTakenDamage - x seconds, greater
Combine ^

1 Buff
- Modification - Cloak
- Validation(disable) - Combined Validator

1 Button
- Set your icon, tooltip, but not hotkey

Give your unit buff, and in the command panel you can add the button, set it to passive and set behavior to your buff.

I have done XML transfer before, and it was relatively easy and fast. It is way easier and faster than copying data. You also need an mpq editor so you can change the locale txt files if you have stuff like requirements, suffixes or prefixes.

Before I start, I'd like to thank Helral, greythepirate and all the others here at the mapster for all their commitment and time providing precious tutorials, snippets, and love. While some things are intuitive, others tend to be so mind boggling... like how the commandtooltip frame's parent is actually not the commandpanel but the clayer or something?

Anyways back to topic - I've made a decent start to my UI but another road block again }:< I think I've read (a long time ago, very vaguely) that it wasn't possible to move these. But I can't seem to find any threads about them anymore. Is it possible to move these - or will I have to meet my nightmares of creating another cumbersome system..

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the confirmation. +1

So lots of unusual stuff occurred after 3.0, most of which I got around but I can't seem to get this one to work...? Also is there a way to get rid of the blank upgrade slot?

Thanks in advance.
