How would I go about making Text Boxes and have questions with answers (I only need 3 possible answers) in my game?

If anyone has played Dungeons of Fayte, I'd like to mimic that kind of textbox. I would also like to be able to use fonts, and have the textbox be fit to the view I have in the game.

It can all work out using the draw event, just create objects for the invisible "answer button" to be able to be clicked on

Well, I'm not terribly familiar with draw events and a lot of things in scripting. Also, I'd like this set up to be activated with the Z key, not clicking.

You need to have a variable for the answer or maybe an array would be best, 1 for the question and 1 for the answer and if the two match its correct.
Example. The first question's answer is in the 4th slot

question[1] = 0 // 1 is the question number 0 is the first choice, 1 is the second etc
answer[1] = 3 // 1 is the question number 3 is the correct answer

// when you tap left or right select a different possible answer add or sub 1 to question[1]

if question[1] = answer[1] // correct answer selected

There prob is a better way but its hard to suggest it w/o knowing more about your game

You could also use 1 2d array instead where 0,1 is the question portion and 1,1 is the answer portion
([1,1] means question 1 [1,1] means answer 1)
