::::::OK, it would be an addition to the ScriptEfectUpdate block and look something like: | |||
scn MenuVariablesScript | |||
Short Choosing | |||
Short Choice | |||
''Short DoOnce | |||
Begin SpellEffectStart | |||
;Whatever you want to do | |||
Set Choosing to -1 | |||
End | |||
Begin SpellEffectUpdate | |||
If (Choosing == -1) ;Display your menu | |||
Messagebox "What do you want to do?", ["Button0"], ..., ["Button8"], "Next Page" | |||
Set Choosing to 1 | |||
Set Choice to GetButtonPressed | |||
Elseif (Choosing == 1) | |||
If (Choice == -1) ;No choice yet | |||
Set Choice to GetButtonPressed | |||
Return | |||
Elseif (Choice == 0) ;Button0 | |||
;Whatever you want to do | |||
Set Choosing to 0 | |||
... | |||
Elseif (Choice == 8) ;Button8 | |||
;Whatever you want to do | |||
Set Choosing to 0 | |||
Elseif (Choice == 9) ;Next Page | |||
Set Choosing to -2 ;Following menu (choosing == -2) | |||
Endif | |||
Elseif (Choosing == -2) ;Gold menu | |||
Messagebox "What do you want to do?", ["Button0"], ..., ["Button8"], "Exit" | |||

set Choosing to 0 | |||
... | |||
Elseif (Choice == 8) ;Button8 | |||
;Whatever you want to do | |||
Set Choosing to 0 | |||
Elseif (Choice == 9) ;Exit | |||
Set Choosing to 0 ;to close the menus | |||
Endif | |||
'' ElseIf (Choosing == 0) | |||
'' If (DoOnce == 0) | |||
'' PlayMagicShaderVisuals effectEnchantMysticism ;or whatever effect shader | |||
'' Set DoOnce to 1 | |||
'' Set Timer to 4 | |||
'' ElseIf (Timer > 0) | |||
'' Set Timer to Timer - GetSecondsPassed | |||
'' ElseIf (Timer <= 0) | |||

::::::The things I would add are the italicized sections and just remove the ScriptEffectFinish block. Setting the Duration on the spell to 30 should give someone more than enough time to make a choice on a smaller menu and to even flip between menus. If the menus are more complex requiring more time, just raise the Duration of the spell to give them more time. Any change that clicking the button does can be done when the GetButtonPressed returns a value. The Dispel will get rid of the active spell and no worries about a spell hanging there doing nothing. | |||

:Actually, I did get the multi-menu spell script working. See Raziel23x's script [[User talk:Raziel23x#Regarding your MessageBox question|here]] for a working MessageBox with multiple menus. The only thing I didn't do were the things I said I would do if I were writing the script since I didn't know if he would want them. Additionally, using a single page menu works fine in the ''Alter Weather'' spell that I created, since I couldn't see a reason to write 7 different spells for each weather function in Tamriel, that I used for testing purposes for information for the [[Talk:ScriptEffectUpdate]] page. The original spell script I threw up was essentially a reduced version of what I did for Raziel23x's script. | :Actually, I did get the multi-menu spell script working.
