Is it possible to put a menu after an extend, or a similar effect?

[Jaitzche]

So, my game is heavily text-based. At a couple parts, I'd like to try to make it where the choices show up at the same time as the text, but it throws errors if I try to mix the menu: with an extend, either before or after. I know it can be done with a regular block of text, but like I said I'm trying to go for a certain effect.

So, what's the actual code that cause an error? Could you be more specific on how this extend should work (what text you want to extend, what player should do to make it occurs, etc.)?

Pretty much it would be something like this-

Code: Select all

"Some words here."
extend "Some more words here."
extend "And even more words here."
	menu: 
		choice 1:
		choice 2:

Just to get the gist of what I'm trying to do- to make the menu/choices show up once that last extend happens. Though doing it this way it complains about indentations. Correctly indenting makes it work except the choices show up on their own screen (without the previous text, which isn't what I want).

Another way I tried it is-

Code: Select all

menu:
	"Some words here."
	extend "Some more words here."
	extend "and even more words here"
	choice 1:
	choice 2:
	

But this throws an error saying menu items and caption can't exist in the same menu.

Again, my main goal is for the text to still be showing when the choices show up.

You can have one caption in a menu, so if you need several text extensions all of them exept last one must be out of menu. Try

Code: Select all

label start:
    e "..."
    menu:
        extend " ... ..."
        "Choice":
            pass

That works perfectly! Thank you so much!
