I'm trying a set-up where using a weapon brings up a question dialog. I've set a weapon up with "Equipment Swap Weapon QuestionWeapon"

The QuestionWeapon character has this default script:

  Each use Cmd
  Go to End
Label Cmd
  Answer option "1",label1
  Answer option "2",label2
  Question What?
  Speech "Oops",Normal,Player,0,.
  Go to End
Label label1
  Speech "1",Normal,Player,0,.
  Go to End
Label label2
  Speech "2",Normal,Player,0,.
  Go to End
Label End

To me, this looks like using the sword should prompt the player to choose 1 or 2, and then the player will say either "1" or "2" accordingly.

In actuality, the player says "Oops" and then on the next turn, he follows up with either "1" or "2".

Why's this happen?

This has come up a few times, even personally experiencing the midst of it (before we had a solution), it's a scripting problem with questions and answer options in characters. Simply add in a Cutscene of 1 milisecond per turn after Label CMD, and add Wait 1 after Question, that way it will wait instead of doing what's immediately after, which is the speech. That way it will wait a turn, which is when you choose, then will say oops. Make sure you put a Cutscene 0 after each "end" of choices.
