Hmmmmm........I have never really thought much about that.   :)

But, looking at the resource.bin:

Code: [Select]

class RscMainMenu
   {
   access=3;
   title="$STR_COMMAND";
   atomic=0;
   items[]={"Move","Target","Engage","GetIn","Status","Action","CombatMode","Formations","Team","Reply","HideMenu"};
...
...
...
...

The only bit in there I don't recognise well is:

atomic=0;

So maybe that has something to do with it.

Scripted dialogs can't do everything that the built-in dialogs can. Take the circular "azimut" slider for example. This might be one more of those things :(.

However, you could use a #define to set it up where you can make 1 whole dialog with 1 line in your description.ext. So if it takes 40 frames to move the dialog in, then you would only need 40 lines of description.ext. See the cfgMoves.hpp of the game's config for some examples of how it works.
