  • Y/N prompt - menu commands

    From Alpha@21:4/158 to All on Mon Oct 19 22:34:10 2020
    It doesn't look like the Y/N prompts in Mystic's menu commmands are documented on the wiki... Anyone know what the secret is? Want to use it in prelogin
    menu to skip people directly to the door menu if they select Y...

    Thanks!

    I believe you use the -Y (default yes) or -N (default no) command in the menu and then you'd use the OK or !OK commands after that depending on whether
    they said yes or no:

    Action List ────────────── Access ───── Data ─────────────────────────────
    (-Y) Ask Yes/No (default Y Yes or No? (GT) Display line of text OK |CRYou said yes!|PA (GT) Display line of text !OK |CRYou said no!|PA

    Thanks Warpslide, I'll give that a try!

    First, you execute the answer reset:
    (-R) Reset OK ACS flags, Data: 0 (although I don't think Data matters)

    Then ask the question:
    (-Y) Ask Yes/No (default Yes)

    Then perform the command you want to, with the condition "OK" if you want it
    to be executed if the user answered "Y", or "!OK" if you want it to be
    executed if the user answered "N".

    If you use (-N) Ask Yes/No (default No), I believe "OK" means that the user answered "N" and "!OK" that the user answered "Y", so it's reversed.

    Hope this helps!

    Best regards

    Yes, it did! I was able to get my prompt up and running. Many thanks...

    You're very welcome!

    I remember digging a lot among all the menus (and some readme files, or was
    it changelogs/release notes?) before I found out how to use it. :)
