I'd like a series of Message Boxes to flip through automatically-- the script for doing that is fine, but the closing of the messageboxes is the problem: does anyone know how to do this without making the Player press "OK" every time?

Simulate that the player presses "OK". I do it a lot in my mods. OBSE's "ClickMenuButton" is the function to use.

Thanks for the suggestion Could you explain a bit more about how I'd do that, please?

According to the wiki...


But how do I identify the ID of a button in a MessageBox? And if I do it like this, can I still have user input for another button, if necessary?

Here's a part of a script from Enhanced Economy, where the mod opens and immediately closes the haggle menu (a trick forcing the engine to re-calculate prices):

Begin MenuMode 1025	if autoCloseHaggle		ClickMenuButton "negotiate_background\negotiate_button_okay\" 1025		DebugPrint "EE:Auto-close haggle menu"                ...

Note that I here used the fullly qualified name of the button instead of the ID.



Look up the xml, or make a quest script something like this:

ScriptName showUIdatastring_var fullPathshort currentMenufloat fQuestDelayTimeBegin MenuMode	let fQuestDelayTime := 0.001		if OnKeyDown 38  ; when L is pressed		let fullPath := GetActiveUIComponentFullName		let currentMenu := GetActiveMenuMode		PrintC "Menumode %.0f: %z", currentMenu, fullPath		PrintTileInfo $fullPath currentMenu	endifEnd

To use it, point at a button and press "L", and all the info you need will be printed to the console.

Of course, and of that specific button as well, if you want.

Thanks
