Visible but unselectable menu choices?

[MadeVeryMerry]

Hi, quick question! Is it possible to write a menu wherein choices are visible, but not able to be selected (e.g. greyed out)? I'm writing a sort of Clue-like minigame (despite being a beginner, because I guess I'm a masochist) and I'd like the known clues (the impossible choices) to be visible, to remind the player of what they already know, but not selectable.

Furthermore, this is probably going to be an event that loops around to the same menu a few times, so what variable can/should I add to make choices unselectable? e.g., Miss White is available as an option at first, but when the player learns that she can't be the killer, her name is greyed out so she can't be selected again.

Thanks for any help y'all can give me.

Probably not the best way but you can create a list:

Code: Select all

define: clue_known = [False, False, etc]

Then when they discover the clue is not correct, change the value to true.

Code: Select all

 $clue_known[0] = True 

and finally, when they select the menu option that they already know is wrong:

Code: Select all

 if clue_known[0] is True:
    "You already know that's wrong."

You just have to keep a list of which list position is allocated to which clue and you are good.

Edit:

I've just written it up to check that it's working but this is what I mean.:

Code: Select all

 define clue_known = [False, False]



"Hello how are you?"

label test:
    menu:
        "Is clue 0 the killer?":
            if clue_known[0] is True:
                "You already know that's wrong."
                jump test
            e "No, clue 0 is not the killer."
            $ clue_known[0] = True
            jump test
        
        "Let's end this charade":
            jump end

label end:
    return

I somehow completely missed this! I trawled back through pages of the forum but didn't find anything. My -5 to Perception strikes again.

Thank you, I'll check this out and put any further questions in there!
