'Show Choices' via script.

[webgovernor]

Hi All,

I realize I just posted a question about 4 hours ago, and I do appreciate the help on that, but, I have another issue...

Anyway, I couldn't seem to find a simple way to call a "show choices" (event command) via script. Should I be creating a new command window and editing that?

I'm just a little upset with the itsy bitsy character limit on the size of a "choice" screen. I'd like to call script to display the choices, and maybe even have more then 4 of em as well!

here's kind of what I'm looking for:

#set up the choices
c1 = "This statement is waaaay past the default char limit."
c2 = "I eat babies"
c3 = "\c[2]This is RED\c[0]"
c4 = "\v[4] is a chomo."
c5 = "WTF?!? A Fifth choice?! Wow..."

#display a choice window
@choice_box = Show_Choices.new([c1, c2, c3, c4, c5])

#asign an index to a variable used for checking the choice in the even page
$choice = @choice_box.index

I have the sick feeling that if I want to use something as simple as this I'm going have to code it myself, could someone please tell me that there's an easier way?

Thanks in advance

Try this, I used it to make some pretty long 'show choices'. You can also use it for many other things.

Thanks for the link, I appreciate it, but I think I'm just going to write my own, anyone have any idea on how the message window interacts with the command window, or how they blend together?
