Awhile back somewhere maybe reading someone else's code or perhaps a tutorial I saw where someone did a simple Yes/No Alert window pop-up. Can someone post the code to do this? I know alert << "My text here." part, but not how to add the buttons Yes/No instead of just OK.

mob/verb/Test()
    switch(alert("Yes or no?",,"Yes","No"))
        if("Yes")
            usr << "YES!"
        else
            usr << "NO!"

When you use switch() it allows you to use if("Condition") instead of if(var == "condition")


mob/verb/Test()
    var/promptbox = alert("Yes or no?",,"Yes","No")
    if(promptbox == "Yes")
        usr << "YES!"
    else
        usr << "NO!"


Is the same as the code I gave you. You could also do
switch(promptbox)
    if("Condition")
        ...

Just a little lesson, you could have avoided this question by looking up alert() in the reference! It has the following example:

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!"
