I want to add a message box with multiple options. I can do the box fine, but where I'm completely stumped is how to retrieve the index number of a button in the box, for use later in the script. As far as I can tell this is the example, creationkit[dot]com/Show_-_Message but I don't even know where to begin, the examples dont seem to show a complete usage, including outcomes. or maybe its just me.

Any help is appreciated! thanks.

You'd want a line like the following in your script:

int response = myMessage.ShowMessage()

Where myMessage is a Message property with your message assigned to it in the editor. When the message is shown, the script will wait for the user to press a button. The index of the button pressed will be assigned to the "response" variable, and your script will resume executing. It'll be 0 for the first button, 1 for the second, etc.

Thanks ill give it another go

EDIT: Works great

Slight amendment: the function name is http://www.creationkit.com/Show_-_Message, not ShowMessage.

Cipscis

Woops, I knew that

EDIT:

you need a

GlobalVariable Property  auto

at the beginning however it didnt state this on the page. and i didnt realise there was a specific one for Globals

Maybe http://www.creationkit.com/GlobalVariable_Script will help?
