alert proc | DM Reference

Format

alert(Usr=usr,Message,Title,Button1="Ok",Button2,Button3)

Returns

Selected button

This sleeps the current proc until the user clicks one of the named buttons. As with input(), the first argument may be entirely left out.

mob/verb/self_destruct()
   alert("Prepare to die.")
   del usr

A slightly more complicated example provides the user with a choice in the matter:

mob/verb/self_destruct()
   switch(alert("Would you like to die?",,"Yes","No","Maybe"))
      if("Yes")
         del usr
      if("No")
         usr << "You have second thoughts."
      if("Maybe")
         usr << "You flip a coin..."
         if(rand(0,1))
            usr << "Heads -- you lose."
            del usr
         else
            usr << "Tails -- you win!"
