SOLVED

Sorry for the title. The message window does close but it now appears in every button I click on the menu. Code snippet below:

scn RecycleBinScript; Recycle Bin which converts items of one type to another; 1. Display as buttons.; 2. If has items needed to create, do it; otherwise display "error" messageshort ButtonBegin OnActivate	if IsActionRef player == 1		; display message box of possible actions		ShowMessage RecycleMainMsg	endifEndBegin GameModeset Button to GetButtonPressed	if ( Button == 0 )		; ** Information Message on how the machine works **		player.ShowMessage RecycleInfoMsg	endif	if ( Button == 1 )                if ~itemcount is < required amount -1                       ~display generic failed message                else ~itemcount is >= required amount                       ~display generic success message                       ~remove required item(s)                       ~add new item(s)                endif         endif         if ( Button == 2 )         ...

~ denotes a shorthand explanation of what my code does in those areas.

Button 0 will display a message when I click on it, and clicking ok dismisses the message and allows me to activate the machine again. Problem is, when I select any other button in the list the message from Button 0 opens once each time. I thought the 'endif' above Button 1's entry would close off Button 0 and stop the message displaying on other button clicks. Could someone hint at why it's not doing that?

You should set up your 'getbuttonpressed' differently, since in a GameMode block with no conditions It will ALWAYS try to intercept ALL button presses.
Remember, the GameMode block runs once every FPS cycle.

Check the WIKI: http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetButtonPressed

Yup, definately.. can cause all sorts of issues if you leave a GetButtonPressed unchecked in a gamemode block.

scn RecycleBinScript; Recycle Bin which converts items of one type to another; 1. Display as buttons.; 2. If has items needed to create, do it; otherwise display "error" messageshort Buttonshort tickerBegin onactivate  if IsActionRef player == 1    ; display message box of possible actions    ShowMessage RecycleMainMsg    set ticker to 1  endifEndBegin GameMode  if (ticker == 1)    set Button to GetButtonPressed    if ( Button == 0 )      ; ** Information Message on how the machine works **      ShowMessage RecycleInfoMsg      set Button to -1    endif    if ( Button == 1 )      if ~itemcount is < required amount -1        ~display generic failed message      else         ~display generic success message        ~remove required item(s)        ~add new item(s)      endif      set Button to -1    endif    if ( Button == 2 )         ...    set Button to -1    endif    Set ticker to 0  endifEnd

Thanks, that worked and I now see why it didn't before. I'll mark my first post as solved.
