Asking a question

I know that there's an if 'play answers yes...' option under the if section, but an intrusive popup appears so as to answer the question. Is there a way to ask a question without this happening.

Thank you,
Steven

Of course. Use a get input function to get the player's response and then use an if statement to check what they typed.

Thanks. But how do I enter into the if statement to correspond with the player response? (sorry i'm new to this and scripting...)

msg ("Ask player random yes or no question.")
get input {
     if (result = "yes") {
          msg ("Hooray!")
     }
     else {
          msg ("You suck!")
     }
}

I would suggest modifying it so that:

if (result = "yes") {

becomes

if (StartsWith (LCase (result), "y")) {

This will then interprete "Yes", "yay", "Yeah" and "y" to mean yes too.

Good call.
