Menu HELP!

astronaut890	In many games (such as Water War or Battleships) they have a menu displayed that asks you a question or gives you a choice. Water war uses this to let you choose your abilities. I can't find it in the triggers anywhere... did they do it with script? if so I'm screwed, because I have no idea how to do that

Its probably dialogs, in which you will need to create a dialog system with buttons for various selections. Ill show you a little code snippet:

Code:

dialogMake
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.50 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Dialog - Show DemoDialog for Player 1 (Red)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for DemoDialog labelled Button1
        Set btn1 = (Last created dialog Button)
        Dialog - Create a dialog button for DemoDialog labelled Another button
        Set btn2 = (Last created dialog Button)


dialogClickbutton1
    Events
        Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for DemoDialog
    Conditions
        (Clicked dialog button) Equal to btn1
    Actions
        -------- Do stuff --------


dialogClickbutton2
    Events
        Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for DemoDialog
    Conditions
        (Clicked dialog button) Equal to btn2
    Actions
        -------- Do cooler stuff --------

Thats the basics, I can explain more if you want.
