I tried that and it went on as if I hit the opposite choice in both instances.

Put switch() around the alert, an indent everything under it.

Thanks I forgot about the switch proc. Everything is perfect.

alert() returns the value that was selected by the player. Since it's a function (a proc that returns something), calling it all alone on a line like that is useless. Instead, you need to do something like this:

var/my_alert_result_variable = alert(...)


Then, if you want to know what the player selected, check the value of the variable that you set alert to, you can do something like this:

if(my_alert_result_variable == "Yes")
