Hello everyone, it's my first post here.
I just started "programming", so forgive me if my question is stupid :D

So basically, I was stuck with the creation of a loop menu. I solved the problem by making a function. In this function I run a script with caption, there is a question and three options to choose. For the sake of semplicity, the options are: sit, stand and remain immobile. After the player choice, I run a switch for the result, and print a certain message when player sit or stand. But, when he chooses to remain immobile, I print a message and then I call again the function.
(It's a little bit more complicated than that, because I made a counter that goes up everytime the player chooses to remain immobile, for the sake of printing a message when he reaches a certain point. But that's not the problem.)
So, in the game, when player eneters the room I call the function and the loop stuff works fine. But, if I add after the "call function" another script, this will be run at the same time. Is there a way to "pause" other scripts while the function is running?

You're not really waiting for the function to end; because the function ends as soon as the menu is displayed - and is run again when the player chooses a certain option. So what you're waiting for is for the point where control is returned to the player with no menu active.

I'd suggest putting a turnscript in the room. I don't have Quest on this computer, but I think you can use a condition like: if (not HasScript (game, "menucallback")) to make sure there isn't a menu, and if so do the next thing. And if so, your turnscript can then disable or delete itself.

I did post a piece of code months ago (maybe even years) with a modified version of ShowMenu and OnReady which would do this for you in the background, but it might be hard to find it in the forum.

I think this is one copy of that code: [link].

With that OnReady function, you could do:

YourFunction ()
OnReady() {
  // code here will run after resolving any menus created by YourFunction
}

Thank you for the reply!
So, I created an OnReady function and copy-pasted your code in it: you saved me!
It seems to work fine! I must say: I don't fully understand how it works, but it does the job!

Thank you very much mrangel!

No worries :)

I think there's a better (more resilient) version of that function on the forums somewhere, but I don't usually keep track of my old posts. The later version included a modified version of the ShowMenu function as well, which would automatically wait for any existing menus to resolve before displaying a new one, and a function which would repeat the current menu without needing to put it in a function.
