Question

Can I make an option unclickable and greyed out?

Probably not. Typically buttons don't do anything at all except proceed to the next line of code.

Question

How do you make it do something when you press "OK" and then quit when you press "Cancel"?

Community Answer

Think about it: it's a harmless prank that will not do anything. It'll run the next line of code if there is any.

How can I make the error message respond to me depending if I pressed "yes" or "no"?

No, this is a friendly script that will not cause any special things, so its best to have only 1 option.

Question

How do I make each button do a different thing?

Community Answer

Don't think so. The buttons do nothing but proceed to the next error if another line of code (which contains another error message).
