Contain text with choice function within one animation SOLVED

Hey guys ive got this script with text function working and choosing fighting or talking with left/right but its not what i want in the end , i mean i want it to be super compact and use just one animation for entire negotiation so i can just switch to other animation for other negotiations instead of using new txt files for each, now i had to split this into a couple of animations because i was getting infinite loop issue if i pressed let/right quickly a couple of times and engine crashed.Now it does not crash how i set it up.
Any clue how to do it in one animation ? Theres 3 or 4  options, one is highlighted "fight" , other one is highlighted "talk" and last two are confirmations of the ones above that are activated with attack button.So ideally it would use 4 frames of animation, maybe five because first frame would be sound of menu appearing.
I tried updateframe and one animation but im getting infinite loop, also with "delay -1" detecting keys pressed does not work, delay has to be quite low, 10 or 20.
Its a quick test to try if it works, it does work but i dont want to make new entity for every conversation/negotiation onscreen.

I know i can do my own spawn01 but i wanted to use only inline scripts for that, so i guess its not possible, just simple changes of variables and getting variables is possible with them.

There is a bug in openbor do not run any scripts on the first frame as soon as a entity is spawned or it will not work or miss behave.

This is and old belief but...its not a bug. As Damon Caskey  explained some time ago, this is how the engine is intended to work, to save resources.

Hm.. i don't know guys.. i have read about this over and over for years now but to me it seems more like a myth than the reality. This because i do use a lot scripts in various forms on the first frame of the spawn animations for both player/enemies and i have never ever experienced any problems. Maybe this was an older thing on older engine versions or it had to do with a more specific script case, i don't know.. But to me, from engine versions 4xxx until the very latest, again i never had any such issues.. So it's kinda weird to me wnen i read about this.. ???
