*For the next example, we'll offer sub-options for each main selection. For a multilevel menu, | *For the next example, we'll offer sub-options for each main selection. For a multilevel menu, functions can be used to keep the menu well organized. Keep in mind that you can assign conditions to each button in the Message forms, so you could hide "Lunch" and "Dinner" if it's time for breakfast, or hide "Lobster" if it's not currently available. In this case, to make it repeatable, we'll use a book so the menu will show each time it is read. A book cannot be favorited or hotkeyed, unlike an apparel item. A potion can be hotkeyed, but it will be consumed when used and not remain hotkeyed even if immediately replaced. This example will let the user choose breakfast, lunch, or dinner, then close after one meal is selected. | ||

*To make a multilevel, looping menu with thirty buttons that will not close until a "Done" button is pressed, use the above method but with an altered Menu() function. Note that you can jump to a given message by specifying the aiMessage argument when calling the function. Sub-options as described in the previous example can be added to the below in the same manner. Theoretically, any number of options can be added with the below structure. | *To make a multilevel, looping menu with thirty buttons that will not close until a "Done" button is pressed, use the above method but with an altered Menu() function.
