As stated before, each menu has a pair of corresponding numbers. For clarity and to keep the two necessary halves of menus separate, those pairs of numbers have been set up a a negative number (i.e., -1) and a positive number (1). The negative number refers to the code that displays the menu: | As stated before, each menu has a pair of corresponding numbers.

===Using numbers to track menu layers=== | |||
If you're making multi-layered menus, you can use the numbers to know which layer you're on and the previous menu(s). For the first layer (the main menu), use the pair -1/1. For the branching menus, use -11/11, -12/12, etc. If menu -11 has more branches, set them to -111/111, -112/112, etc. | If you're making multi-layered menus, you can use the numbers to know which layer you're on and the previous menu(s).

Each new layer gets an extra number. For example, a sub-branch from menu -12 would be -121. The number on the right refers to the sub-branch, while the numbers on the left refer to the menu they branched from. This is recursive, so in this example -121 is the first sub-branch from menu -12, and -12 is the second sub-branch from the menu -1. | Each new layer gets an extra number.

Here's several examples of menu switching: (also, please note that due to wiki limitations, the messageboxes below have been given line breaks, whereas in the CS they would be on one line) | Here's several examples of menu switching: (also, please note that due to wiki limitations, the messageboxes below have been given line breaks, whereas in the CS they would be on one line) | ||
