I suggest using numbers instead of other variables when setting '''''Choosing'''''. Numbers give more meaning than words in this case, as the negative and positive numbers separate which part of the menu you're dealing with. You can also use numbers to signify which layer of the menu you are in. For instance, '''''-1''''' was the first layer in the above example. For the sub-menus of the main menu (Gold, Food, Blood), you can use '''''-11''''', '''''-12''''', '''''-13'''''. And, for example, for the sub-menus of Food you can use '''''-121''''', '''''-122''''', '''''-123''''' such that the first number signifies the menu of the first layer, the second the menu of the second layer, etc.
===Multiple Menus in a Spell Script===
Below is an example of multiple menus in a spell script. '''Step''' is used to control the stages of [[ScriptEffectUpdate]] for the '''MessageBox''' and the '''GetButtonPressed''' functions. While the initial '''MessageBox''' for the spell could have been in the [[ScriptEffectStart]], it is in the '''ScriptEffectUpdate''' block for clarity. Most of the button names as well as scripting have been left out so that the basics of manipulating multiple '''MessageBox''' functions can be seen.
