Menu Script Problem

[Khet]

Trying to create a menu, and I can navigate forward, but not back. These are the messages I'm using:

 

Main Menu Choices: "No Change" "Reset" "Continue"

 

All Other choices: "Yes" "Go Back"

 

While the 'Yes' option works perfectly fine for all three, the Go Back doesn't. It simply closes out the message but doesn't bring the Main Menu back up. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

 

scn zzFPMQChoiceScript


Short Choice ;Check if the player has made their choice
Short SetUp ;Activate
Short Open ;Opens the Intro for the first time
Short Timer


short MenuLevel ; Records Menu Depth
; 0 - Intro
; 1 - No Change
; 2 - Reset
; 3 - Continue

Short Button1 ;Button variable for the Intro
short Button2 ; Button variable for the No Change Menu
short Button3 ; Button variable for the Reset Menu
short Button4 ; Button variable for the Continue Menu

Begin GameMode

No one? Been over this thing who knows how many times and don't see anything wrong with it.

I don't know what the big picture is behind what you are trying to do, but if you are working with a multi-layered menu system with each choice bringing up another menu or a different portion of the same menu, you are going to need to execute the branching code while in MenuMode. Once the GameMode code brings the initial menu up, the game leaves game mode entirely and enters menu mode. That would be the first place I look into for debugging.

 

Also, I don't trust the GECK script's flow control much, if their other bugs are any indication >_<. If I were you, I would use "if, elseif, elseif, elseif... endif" on the menu level branching instead of individual "if" blocks. Keep in mind that high depth menu tree negatively impacts playability and user-friendliness (many early Japanese RPGs suffer from that problem).
