Hi all,

Due to the limit for the number of options you can have on a stand Message window in-game, I've had to create 2 Message windows that link from one to the other to continue the number of ootions available.

I.e.

MessageBox1: Option 1, Option 2, Option 3... Option 9

Option 1 would set a global variable to 1, Option 2 to 2 etc, however pressing Option 9 on this first MessageBox brings up MessageBox2.

MessageBox2: Option 10, Option 11, Option 12... Option 17

Option 10 would set the same global variable to 10 and so forth.

Now for some reason, when I have to press Option 9 to take me to the second part of the menu, and no matter what option I press (e.g. Option 13, Option 10 etc), the stored Global Variable is 17.

I can't fathom why it's doing this.

My code's below, so if anyone at all could graciously help, I'd as ever be indebted

Use an "elseif" statement instead of a separate conditional block when checking "if tardisMenuChoice == 2", i.e.
Just in case you haven't seen it already, if you're interested I've written a tutorial on making different types of menus using http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/ShowMessage - http://www.cipscis.com/fallout/tutorials/menu.aspx

Massively obliged, I'll certainly take a look, I pretty much live via your Script checker
