I know it can be done, but at the moment, I'm not quite sure how to do it. I would like for the game to provide a pop-up menu at the beginning of the game asking you to select a race from a list by clicking on it. When you select the race, the window closes and it applies attributes of that race to the player. How do you set up the race to choose from in the editor, say "Human" and "Elf" with just basic attributes such as "health", and then run a script to make a selection and apply the attribute to the player?

Like this:



Set up a stringlist on the game object, which is a list of options. Then create a start-up script that uses the "show menu" command to display a menu. In a script block following that, check each option against the result variable.

Thank you very much! This makes sense now!

By the way, if you have several questions, then each must go inside the previous block.

      msg ("Let's generate a character...")
      msg ("First, what is your name?")
      get input  {
        player.alias = result
        msg ("Hi, " + player.alias)
        show menu ("Your gender?", game.gender_list, false) {
          player.gender = result
          show menu ("Your skill set?", game.class_list, false) {
            player.class = result
            msg (" ")
            msg (player.alias + " was a " + LCase (player.gender) + " " + LCase (player.class) + ".")
            msg (" ")
            msg ("Now press a key to begin...")
            wait {
              ClearScreen
            }
          }
        }
      }

THANK YOU! I understand!
