aiButton < 0

I don't think there's a need to check for when aiButton is -1. Unlike with the previous script language, Papyrus seems to pause script execution (of the rest of the event/function) until it receives input from the Show() function. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fg109 (talkcontribs) 13 April 2012

Yep, Show() will block the script until it returns. If the return value is -1 then it means the message failed to show for some reason. I think that would more likely happen during development if the author forgot to set a property. If it's ever seen in a released then something is fubar. Tunaisafish 05:17, 13 April 2012 (EDT)
Reading the description of the return value and doing a little testing I am certain that a MessageBox style message will never return a -1. The -1 gets returned if it's a Notification style message. And if you try to use Show on an unfilled property, you'll get a 0 return value! So make sure your first button is a reasonable choice for a default. Cdcooley 18:13, 13 June 2012 (EDT)
