An element named "selectbox"

[Zomis]

I just came up with an idea after posting this post

Let's say we have an element named selectbox, this element behaves similar to an envelope, but it doesn't only show up some text, it also gives us an option! Let's say we see this when entering "selectbox":
"Which is your favorite enemy?"
and we are given 4 options to chose from:
Robot
Yam Yam
Bug
Spaceship

Now, it's possible to chose one of these options, and each option is corresponding to a specific CE value, this CE value is given to a specific CE, and violà! This gives us possibility to give the player a bunch of robots if that's the number he choses!

Or also, it could be possible to enter any value, for example:
"Enter password" and we can enter a number between 0-99999, and this will be set into a CEs CE value...

Well just an idea, take it or leave it

Awesome
This reminds me of possibility in ZZT (see Off-Topic), also with selection so various stuff could happen.
So it would be in the selectbox like this, not?

Code: Select all

.--------------------.
| Selectbox 1    [A] | Legenda:
|--------------------| [A] Graphic of Selectbox
|Activated when:     | [B] Drop-Down menu of activations 
| [B]                |     like in CE Changes, like touched by player
|                    | [C] Box for typing in stuff
|Text:               | [D] Number box w/ + and - buttons
|[C]                 | (Ain't I good in ASCII art?)
|Options:            |
|1:[C]   Value:[D]   |
|2:[C]   Value:[D]   |
'--------------------'

That could be cool...
But then, do you mean that all the CE's get a new option for selectboxes?
Maybe it will be good to have a "Selectbox value" so the CE's can easily contact with them.
And then it should be by deafult so that the CE number has the same Selectbox value. (i.e. CE 100 has selectbox value 100)
And then in the CE's there could be: (Use legenda above)

Selectbox value: [D]
Option 1: [D] (Page-number of what the CE will do)
Option 2...

I think that would do it. Maybe you had other ideas though...
