Okay, so I have a short little code that asks you a question and I want to know how to make more then just 2 options.
For instance, here's my code.

Mouse Left Button Pressed

if show_question("Save changes to "+string(global.fname))=1
{
 sleep=100
}
else
{
 room_restart()
}

Don't worry about sleep 100 it's just substituting until this is right. I want these answers: Yes, No, Cancel. After I figure that out how would I check all 3 answers? Because "else" wouldn't work because there are 3 options.

And 1 last thing. This is probably simple but how would I resume back to the program if "cancel" was clicked?


Thanks in advance.

Do you want a GM message with three buttons?
If so, use the show_message_ext() function, and that will let you name your own buttons so you can have a button that says cancel and things like that.

EDIT:
For your smaller question on how to resume the game, don't do anything if it was clicked, GM will return back to its previous state

var ind;
ind=show_message_ext("Save changes to "+string(global.fname),"Yes","No","Cancel");
switch(ind) {
case 0:
//The user hit escape, do what you would do for cancel
break;
case 1:
//The user hit Yes, save it and then end the game
break;
case 2:
//The user hit No, end the game
break;
case3:
//The user hit cancel
break;
}

Something like that should work.

Thanks both of you.
