The ask method

Syntax:ask() Returns:nil

This method is used to show the player a menu with the options of this question.

The execution of the script will be paused until the player has slected one of the options, after which the answer property will contain the value associated with the option the player selected. If this value was a function, that function will be called automatically.

The appearance of the menu can be customized in the config file.

Examples

-- First, we define a function for each option
function drink()
    say "I'm thirsty too. I should have a drink."
end

function iceCream()
    say "Ice cream is probably the best option."
end

-- Then we create a Question object by giving it a list of options and
-- the corresponding functions to call when the player selects them
q = Question.new{
    "Have a drink", drink,
    "Have an ice cream", iceCream
}

-- We can ask the player by calling q:ask()
say "It's so hot here. What should I do?"
q:ask()
