In | Using [[Show - Message]], it is possible to make an options menu with any number of buttons and/or levels. In these examples, we'll use apparel items, but a menu can be prompted and managed in a number of ways. First off, create a message form and add/fill in its buttons. Note that no more than ten buttons can be offered by any given message box and that the button indices are offset by one such that the first option's index is 0 and not 1. | ||

*For the next example, we'll offer sub-options for each main selection. For a multilevel menu, a function works well. Keep in mind each message forms' buttons can have conditions, so you could hide "Lunch" and "Dinner" if it's time for breakfast or hide "Lobster" if it's not currently available. | *For the next example, we'll offer sub-options for each main selection.
