Hi,

I'm struggling to work out how to make a 'show menu' in the browser version, can someone please point me to a tutorial or forum post (the info I can find in the tutorial is for off line version)?

Thanks!

A little ShowMenu help:

The first line is the message that will print (or the question you will ask):

The second bit is the list Quest will use for the choices.

In this field, if you want the choices to be 1 or 2, put this:

Split("1;2", ";")

That creates a list. The "1;2" tells Quest what your ingredients are. The ";" tells it where to split.

So this yields List: 1, 2.

So, ShowMenu would print:

Choose an option.

1. 1
2. 2

The next part is where you decide if the player can ignore the menu:

I put no, because I don't think NecroDeath wants the player to be able to ignore this particular menu.

Now for the script that runs:

Whatever the player clicks can be referred to as result.

So...

Lets use a switch script here, because that's what Pixie prefers:

Put result in the first field, because that's what we're 'switching'.

Then, create your cases.

In this instance, we are checking against text strings, so we will need to wrap whatever is entered as a case in quotation marks "":

Now, add the script you want to run for that selection:

If you want to print what the player selected, print a message, but change it to expression:

Then put this:

"You chose: " + result + "."

Like so:

Now, add your other cases, and you're good to go:

Here's the whole thing:

NOTE: I didn't select a default script because the player has to select one of the options here. We put NO for 'Allow player to ignore menu'.

I copy paste everything.

Thanks as always!
