RGSS Show Choices question

[WWWYZZERDD]

Greetings to all! Got a question concerning the Show Choice event (a.k.a. command_102). Does anyone know if this function returns anything, and if so what does it return?

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Show Choices
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def command_102
    # If text has been set to message_text
    if $game_temp.message_text != nil
      # End
      return false
    end
    # Set message end waiting flag and callback
    @message_waiting = true
    $game_temp.message_proc = Proc.new { @message_waiting = false }
    # Choices setup
    $game_temp.message_text = ""
    $game_temp.choice_start = 0
    setup_choices(@parameters)
    # Continue
    return true
  end

So it returns false if text is already there, or returns true when processed. Hoped that helped. :s

ACK, sorry, but I need to reexplain myself. Sorry for my ignorance.

I'm trying to make a simple reserve party system, where a person can switch different heros in and out. I've decided to write a simple script, and one of the things that I want to do is call the "Show Choices" event to let the player decide which characters to switch.

My actual question is: in the Show Choices classes, does it output the result of what the player chooses, or how do I determine how the Show Choices classes handle the chosen choice?

Again, sorry for my n00b ignorance on the last question. I wrote that question right before a college class.

If you are building a script, don't use the show choice command. What you need to use is a custom command window. The shoice command relies heavily on the interpreter class and setting up a RPG::EventCommand array. You would end up having to generate a RPG::EventCommand array with pure script, then running it (the easy part).

I suggest Dubealex's Tutorials, in particular 2 and 3. You can find a link in the useful links in my signature under RGSS Tutorials.
