If the player selects "Armor" from the first menu, the second menu ("Which armor would you like to repair") will be displayed, but any choice the player makes will really be based on the first menu. For instance, if the player selects "Boots" in the second menu, the "Which weapons would you like to repair?" menu will be displayed.

Following the steps of the script, you can see why. The player will be shown the "What would you like to repair?" menu. They select "Armor". For a few frames GetButtonPressed sets Choice to -1. About 15 frames after the player makes their choice, GetButtonPressed will return 0. This will bring up the second menu "Which armor...?". Choice2 will be set to -1, as the player hasn't read it yet. The player selects "Boots". Again, there will be several frames between the menu, and when GetButtonPressed returns the player's choice. This means the script will be running from the beginning of the GameMode block again. This time, Choice is set to 9 (because "Boots" was the tenth button), and the "Which weapon...?" menu is opened.  

Note that each menu has a pair of corresponding numbers: Main menu, -1/1; Armor menu, -10/10; Weapon menu, -11/11. When you set Choosing to the corresponding number, that menu will be shown. See a better example of this in the [[MessageBox Tutorial#Moving Between Multiple Menus]].
