+SOLVED+ Returning a number +SOLVED+

In GM's show_menu function, I want it to return x if nothing is selected. Here's an example:

Code: [Select]

{
 exmenu = show_menu('Item0|Item1|Item2','5')
{
switch(exmenu)
{
case 0: show_message('You picked item 0!'); break;
case 1: show_message('You picked item 1!'); break;
case 2: show_message('You picked item 2!'); break;
case 5: break;
}
}
}
Ok, so for each of the menu items, a number is returned. In this case, 0, 1, and 2 are returned. Since the default return is set to 5, I figured that making a case 5 and causing it to break would make it to where 0 would not be returned and case 0 will not initiate, thus causing the menu to close without selecting anything. Unfortunately, this isn't the case, as 0 is returned anyway. Anyone know how to make it so 5 is returned instead? Thanks!

I bealive if you use case default: break; it'll go to that instead of 5, but will have the effect your after.

Try taking the quotations off of '5'.

Right now, '5' is a string, which has a numerical value of 0.

If you ever do use Jed's suggestion, I believe you don't need case if you type default, but I rarely use that and would need to double-check.

Re: Returning a number

default is used when you want to execute some code when none of the previous cases have been gone through, if your just breaking, it's useless :S

Thank you, but I figured it out on my own.
