How to lock choices

[Via_01]

So, there's something I'd like to implement in my visual novels, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it.

Let's say we have a menu pop in, with two choices:

• -Choice A
  -Choice B

I want to "lock" choice A, so that only choice B is selectable. By this I mean that I want choice A to be there, but that nothing happens when you press it: no sound effect, no light over the menu, etc. I've managed to go around the issue using the jump command, but I was wondering if there was a more direct way to do it. It'd be great if you could offer any help.

I believe to do this exactly as you say, you'll have to create a customised choice menu.

You can find the default code in the screen script.
You should look into applying screen language and see what you can create.

I'm on my phone right now so I can't do the searches personally, but this question has been asked before. I'd do a search for something like "menu" and "insensitive" and "button."

There's surely a better way to do it and I can't seem to find it either but I think using variables and if statements is an around way to do it as well. but its not really the same as having a visible grayed out button.

Maybe take a look at this.

That wasn't the thread I was thinking of...because that doesn't actually do what the OP wants. Here check out these threads:

I think I actually commented that same url at the end of the thread I just shared lol
