    This might seem like a dumb question but does anyone know how to make it so I can use message commands to make more than four choice possible during a scene? Or maybe make like multiple choices of 3 choices for a player choice? I don't really understand how the essentials wiki explains it. If anyone knows of any video tutorials on youtube or can explain it in a more simple way than the wiki that would be appreciated.
     
    Actually you cannot make more than four choices, because four is the hard-coded maximum in RPG Maker XP.
    What I do is the following.
    1. Add a Label, (let's call it "Start conversation" for example)
    2. Write the sentence to say.
    3. Then, make the choice.
    4. In the fourth choice, put "More".

      Currently, you should see something like this:

    5. Under "More", put the rest of your choices.
    6. The "second" fourth choice should be "back".
    7. Under "Back", put a "Jump to Label", and write the name of the previous label (here, "Start conversation")
    8. Thanks to this, you can have 6 options.

      And now, you should see something like this:

    9. If you want more options, you will have to intertwine more choices, and don't forget to put a "Jump to label" to the start of the conversation.
     
    There's actually an example of how to have more than 4 choices in the example maps. In "\PN's house", check the female NPC near the plant/tree thing near the "Mom" character.

    Oh! I didn't notice! That's awesome!
