MenuMode function?

[rickerhk]

I run a lot of menus in quest scripts. I set the quest delay to .016, and reset/start/stop the quest when needed. I wouldn't leave it running all the time, though, so you need some mechanism to start the quest when needed. Otherwise, put the script on an object so the script isn't running unless you are in the cell with the object.

As far as the MenuMode block and MenuMode function, they work perfectly well together and my understanding is that the function is more reliable. This is a snippet from a script I'm using:

 

BEGIN MenuMode

    if (iStagingDone > 8)
        return
    endif

    if (iStagingDone == 1)
        if (MenuMode 1074)    ; In Love Tester Menu
            set iStagingDone to 2
            set fTimer to 2
        endif
    endif

    if (iStagingDone == 3)
        if (MenuMode 1001)    ; In Tag Skill message
            set iStagingDone to 4
            set fTimer to 2
        endif
    endif
    
    if (iStagingDone == 5)
        if (MenuMode 1084)    ; In Trait menu
            set iStagingDone to 6
            set fTimer to 2
        endif
    endif
    
    if (iStagingDone == 7)
        if (MenuMode 1051)    ; Player Name
            set iStagingDone to 8
            set fTimer to 2
        endif
    endif
    
    
END

I got it working

I would just set a flag in menumode that is checked for in the gamemode block. I've avoided using tokens in many scripts that switch modes that way.
