I know there was a way that you could do a "Get Input" inside of a "Wait for Keypress" script, but can you do "Get Input" inside of a "Get Input"?

And if you can't do this....does anyone have suggestions?

I ask a yes or no question, and then a prompt afterward for the player to pick something.

the 'wait for keypress' causes issues as there's a lot of issues with the commands that get user input ('get input' and 'show menu' and the 'ask' Verb), unfortunately.

--------

actually, doing (a single-direct chain, nesting, of) 'get input/show menu/ask' inside of 'get input/show menu/ask' is the easiest way to get it to work, without issues, for example:

<function name="character_creation">
  msg ("What is your name?")
  get input {
    player.alias = result
    msg ("What is your age?")
    get input {
      player.age = result
      show menu ("What is your sex?", split ("male; female", ";"), false) {
        player.sex = result
        show menu ("What is your race?", split ("european; asian; african; arabian; american", ";"), false) {
          player.race = result
          msg ("What is your favorite number?")
          get input {
            player.favorite_number = result
            msg ("What is your least favorite number?")
            get input {
              player.least_favorite_number = result
              ask ("Are you smart?") {
                player.smart = result
                ask ("Are you attractive?") {
                  player.attractive = result
                  // etc etc etc 'get input/show menu/ask'
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
</function>

For my computer system for one of my games, I have a get input that requires a password (same as your yes/no essentially).

Then, if the password is correctly typed, a function is called where I have all the cases for the computer.

          msg ("You move the mouse and the screen changes to...")
          picture ("password1.png")
          msg ("What will you enter?")
          get input {
            switch (result) {
              case ("correctpassword") {
                SetObjectFlagOn (computer, "hacked")
                IncreaseScore (10)
                msg ("<br/>The password screen fades away and you are presented with another option.<br/><br/>Which program would you like to run (type 'stop' to stop using the computer)?<br/>1 - Dingo Database<br/>2 - Compound Information<br/>Stop - stop using computer<br/>")
                get input {
                  switch (result) {
                    case ("1") {
                      computer loop
                    }
                    case ("2") {
                      computer loop 2
                    }
                    case ("stop") {
                      msg ("<br/>You type stop and hit enter.  You back away from the computer and look for better things to do.<br/>")
                      MoveObject (Xanadu, sarlashkars office)
                    }
                    default {
                      msg ("Input not recognized.")
                      default to program
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
              default {
                msg ("You type in " + result + " and hit enter.  You immediately receive a nasty little shock!  Those security encryptions sure do sting!")
                DecreaseHealth (3)
              }
            }
          }
        }

Thanks Hk and Xan, those are extremely useful. Though, I thought what I did was a single string. Here's the code.

So what did I do differently that yours are stopping for and mind isn't? Should I use a "show menu" to replace the second "Get input"?

if (ListContains(Split ("yes;sure;okay;of course;definitely;si;oui;yup;uh huh;hai;okie dokie;ja",";"),LCase(result))) {
SHOULD YOU HAVE A PRINT MESSAGE IN HERE ASKING THE QUESTION?
    get input {
      msg ("<br/>But what type of dresses should you try on?<br/><br/>- The elegant dresses? <br/><br/>- The cute/modest dresses?<br/><br/>...

Perhaps I am not seeing it correctly or I misunderstand you, but should you have a message printed before this Get Input script? Just a guess... I'm not real good at looking at code and making suggestions.

There is a msg("") before hand that asks the question

It looks to me that if I answer "yes" to the dress up question, then it immediately goes to another get input.

Shouldn't it be: ask your yes/no question, switch/get input, add cases yes and no
If "yes" case, then ask another question "what clothes do you want to wear, switch/get input, add cases for outfit choices

Again, I'm probably seeing something wrong. I'll create a simple version of what you have when I get home.

Yeah, it's basically.

msg ("Question here")
get input "Yes or No"
"yes"
msg ("Which clothes do you want to try on?" Pick from: sexy, sympathy, sarcasm, serious")
get input
switch
sexy
sympathy
sarcasm
serious

That's pretty much the code.

it's very easy to mess up the nesting (especially if using the GUI~Editor's "add a script" circle buttons... figuring out what "add a script" circle button is the correct one you want to click on, is very difficult... lol), so it's probably a simple issue of this, just have to find it...

you want your code/scripts to be like this (a single chain, so not have to deal with any of the real issues with the user input commands, which will cause errors):

script1
.....\
.....script2
.........\
..........script3
..............\
..............etc etc etc

you can ahve variations of this, but you want it to be in this single 'nesting' chain... if you can do so... otherwise, you may be dealing with the real issues, which are even harder to try to work around...

----------

for example:

get input
.......\
.......get input // no error
............\
............get input // no error

~ VS ~

get input
.......\
.......get input // no error
.......|.....\
.......|......get input // no error
.......|
.......get input // ERROR!, as only one get input can be running at a time

Oh, I don't use the GUI Editor so much these days, except when writing long msg's ("").

You're saying I need to have them in a staircase sort of order, I thought I had that though.

Cause it's ...

firsttime
..msg
.....get input
.......if "yes"
..........msg
.............get input
...............switch
.................sexy
..........sympathy
.....sarcasm
...serious
if player.race= goblin
yada yada...

The error is happening where the bold is. It just runs the two inputs together.

I'm still confused as to why you have to nest them anyway?

Here's how I do it through the GUI. Pardon the train wreck...




Is this not an option? You've got me curious.

Oh, I never thought of doing it like that. Making a switch out of a "yes" or "no" that is. I guess I could give it a shot and see how that works None of my other "yes" "no" scripts are like that haha. Thanks for the suggestion! And appreciate your help too HK. I'll ring back if something goes awry.

this wouldn't be correct:

firsttime
..msg
.....get input
.......if "yes"
..........msg
.............get input
...............switch
.................sexy
..........sympathy
.....sarcasm
...serious
if player.race= goblin
yada yada...

it should be:

firsttime
..msg
.....get input
.......if "yes"
..........msg
.............get input
...............switch
.................case(sexy)
...................scripts
.................case(sympathy)
...................scripts
.................case(sarcasm)
...................scripts
.................case(serious)
...................scripts
otherwise // I'm guessing on this part, as I don't have information of where this would go from what you've given
..if player.race= goblin
yada yada...

or, if this is what is (suppose to be) happening:

firsttime
..msg
.....get input
.......if "yes"
..........msg
.............get input
...............switch
.................case(sexy)
...................scripts
.................case(sympathy)
...................scripts
.................case(sarcasm)
...................scripts
.................case(serious)
...................scripts
......if player.race= goblin // if this was suppose to be here, matching up with the first get input's 'if yes' : if (yes), [else if (no)], then if (player.race=goblin)
yada yada...

then it needs to be like this:

firsttime
..msg
.....get input
.......if "yes"
..........msg
.............get input
...............switch
.................case(sexy)
...................scripts
.................case(sympathy)
...................scripts
.................case(sarcasm)
...................scripts
.................case(serious)
...................scripts
.......else if player.race= goblin
yada yada...

------

so, if that was your form, then it's not the 'get input' directly, but rather you got some of your switch cases (this would correspond with your second-last/lower get input) outside of where tehy're suppose to be or your 'if player.race=goblin' is outside of where it is suppose to be (this would correspond with the first-upper get input).

errr... nvm... I just actually looked at your code (now finally having the time to do so ~ I had an assembly code/program school assignment that I was trying to get done, which I failed to do so, sighs. I'll be glad if I get a C in the class, assembly is quite a step up from the high level languages like quest and etc, assembly works completely differently, what I know with the high level languages really doesn't help me much with assembly):

and I fixed it (the nesting) up for you:

Ah! Thank you both very much! You guys definitely helped me out with this. I appreciate it. Most of my recent problems I've been able to solve on my own with a little trial and error, so I'm glad I have people to catch me a bit when I stumble across something beyond my understanding --- or rather beyond my scope of experience Now if I could get combat working lol.
