I was mulling over a few things I wanted to do when I got back to SL, making a few
things easier to use, and a few other nifty ideas involving the dialog box.
I love the idea of using the dialog box, but 4 choices is a bit limiting - I could use 3 choices with the last being (more) - but that seems a lil cludgy.
Is there a reason for this limitation, and if not would raising that limit be a good idea?
Siggy.

You're joking, right?
How would a 6 or 8 button dialog box allow more griefing than a 4 button one? _____________________

I've made a help system in a multi-user object I'm designing that has many, many pages of llDialogs to walk you through many topics. It's working well since nearby avatars aren't spammed with all the help text, and the helpee can navagate through the options while at the same time triggering changes in the object.
So far, I haven't needed more than 4 buttons, but I DID wonder at their layout. It's really screwy... _____________________
