Menumode 1012 is both valid for the sleeping and waiting menu. Is there a way to tell which is showing? Thanks.

When menumode is indeed 1012, use IsPCSleeping to test.

IsPCSleeping only returns 1 if the player has pressed the Rest button on the sleeping menu. I however need to know this before pressing that button.

Hhhhmmm...... Well, the only way the "rest" menu comes up, is if the player activates a usable bed. if you don't have anything against OBSE, you could get the crosshair ref when the player hits the activate key, and test to see if it is a usable bed? This would give you the info before the menu even came up..... sorta.

I'm currently trying to add support for a mod called ''Roughing It'', which enables you to sleep without actually having a bed, so the crosshair idea doesn't work that well. an option might be to do let mystring := ( GetMenuStringValue "sleep_background\sleep_display_text\string" 1012 ) and compare it with the sleeping string, but I'm guessing this string will be different depending on the game language used and I can't find the string in the game settings anywhere.

What about using a modifier key along with the "rest/wait" key, for when you want to 'rough it'? Just intercept the menu..... and activate a virtual 'bed' instead?

The ''Roughing It'' mod isn't mine, but I guess I could always create my own version and make them compatible.

From the xml:

<!-- sleep_wait_menu.xml -->	 &SleepWaitMenu; 	 &no_click_past; 		0 	 0.25 	 &true; 		 &false; 	<!-- true if sleeping, false if waiting -->

So this:

if GetMenuFloatValue "user0" 1012 == 2  ; the user is trying to sleepelse  ; the user is trying to waitendif

should probably do the trick.
Wow, that syntax highlighting is horrid.

That does indeed work. Thanks!
