Folow the program install guide. Start your arma2 game with the stragui mission. Then press 0-0-1 or 0-0-0-1 cant remember. This numbers are the radio coms to open the gui menu

if i remember well.. onces you did the work,, press ctrl + S to save .. then open your note ++ and paste..

you will see a lot of GUI code... then you will need create a define.hpp for it and edit almost 2 hours to change colours and variables names .

Take a look on my workshop mod... the gui menu is pretty simple to use like examaple.. or @theduke custom menu mod... i was using his code mod to learn at my first time.

anything you've saved in arma 3 editor CAN be imported back.

missionConfigFile >> "MenuClass"

the line above will import a already created menu called menuclass

@killerkiwi cannot understand very well your question.

but just for start heres a lil clean up of your main script.

private ["_Storms_Menu"];
_Storms_Menu = {_x == "ItemBriefcase10oz"} count magazines player;
if (_Storms_Menu <1) exitWith { 
    cutText [format["%1 You need: Briefcase with in it 10oz to start crafting", name player], "PLAIN DOWN"];
};
player removeMagazine "ItemBriefcase10oz";
sleep 2;
execVM "Stormz\init.sqf";

Now, i dont know why you make a count of briefcase if u only gonna remove one single. so you can replace by:


if !("ItemBriefcase10oz" in magazines player) exitWith { 
    cutText [format["%1 You need: Briefcase with in it 10oz to start crafting", name player], "PLAIN DOWN"];
};
player removeMagazine "ItemBriefcase10oz";
sleep 2;
execVM "Stormz\init.sqf";

Now if u need remove more than one item in other script.. you can use this:

//Check Items
_hasitem = [["cinder_wall_kit",2], ["ItemWoodFloor",3]] call player_checkItems;

//Remove items
_remove = [["cinder_wall_kit",2],["ItemWoodFloor",3]] call player_removeItems;

Then now your script looks like:

private ["_hasitem","_remove"];
_hasitem = [["ItemBriefcase10oz",2]] call player_checkItems;

//Here you dont need the exitWith with msg  the player_checkItems drop automatically the msg.

if (_hasitem) then { 
_remove = [["ItemBriefcase10oz",2]] call player_removeItems;
sleep 2;
execVM "Stormz\init.sqf";
};

Heres another way to check more than one item and tools in case you need

private ["_hastools","_hasitems1","_hasitems2"];
_hastools = ["ItemKnife"] call player_hasTools;
_hasitems1 = ["ItemBriefcase10oz"] call player_checkItems;
_hasitems2 = ["ItemAntibacterialWipe"] call player_checkItems;


if (call {_hastools} && {_hasitems1} && {_hasitems2}) then {
_remove = ["ItemBriefcase10oz","ItemAntibacterialWipe"] call player_removeItems;
player removeWeapon "ItemKnife";//in case you need
sleep 2;
execVM "Stormz\init.sqf";
};
