How do I make a menu with selection?

Hi all! I'm trying to create a pause menu where players could swicth between continue, options and exit. I'm using a variable Esc_Menu_Selection (1-continue, 2-options, 3-exit). However when I move down with my arrow it skips Options for some reason (see the screenshots).

Please help me figure out what is wrong there or maybe there is an easier way for such menus?

Thanks

It is because the events are true as you run the events from top to bottom like Construct does. It becomes 2 which makes the event for if=2 true and then changes it to 3. Using the on down key pressed condition make it one event only, indent with sub event (S) and use Else, so if variable = 2 Else if variable = 3. That should fix it.

Sorry still a bit new here. Visually it works now, however when I go from top to bottom it thinks that Options (var=2) is Exit(var=3). I know it's probably the same reason you mentioned, so maybe I misunderstood you. Appreciate any help.

Does that relate to some other events you're not showing us? Not sure what you mean by that. It 'thinks' that option 2 is option 3 sounds like you are pressing a key or choosing an option which isn't shown here.

Sorry the project is a bit bulky! Please see all related to this escape menu below. It basically makes some objects visible and then you can switch between options with an arrow. Hope that helps.

Thank you, I think I finally got it right. Phew
