Question on Adding More Characters

Hi there. Asking for a little direction here, not a hand held or anything. I read previous posts and saw that if I resized the cursor and text, I should be able to add another character in. However, when I try to do that, I've run into an issue: If I leave it so that it  should cycle back between top and bottom, it just keeps scrolling; and if I fix that problem by making it an up and down menu only (which I'm fine with that solution), it simply won't let me select my eighth option.

I'm scratching my head after working on this for almost two hours straight. Everything looks like it should to me. I guess my question is, is the system like, resistant to changes in amount of characters? I don't want to keep playing around with it if it's simply impossible to add in that 8th character, if you know what I mean. I'll keep messing with it if it's possible, and I'll figure it out eventually. Though if you have any ideas of what might be going wrong that's also appreciated, but I'm not asking that of you.

The menu has just been giving me so much difficulty. I think I have things functional for another character in all other areas, but I can't be sure without being able to check in the menu. I like the way it functions for all seven other characters, so I don't want to give up on it without trying a little while longer, if there's any point to it.

I think the issue might be to do with the Index variable. The Index represents which item on the list is selected by increasing or decreasing by 1 each time the player presses up or down respectively. There's a Conditional Branch which checks if the Index goes over 8, and then returns the variable to 1 to show the first character at the top of the list again. You can change the Conditional Branch to 9 instead of 8 to add another character.

Thank you! I did exactly that, and it fixed it! Much appreciated!
