I've started making my own custom cards, and I borrowed one of the effects of a card I made from Elemental Hero Stratos (the S/T destruction effect), but I do not know how to make the game trigger a proper activation message (I only know that I have to write it down on the cards.cdb file, but I don't know exactly what to do). So, if a card has multiple effects, how do I program it to show the proper activation message? (In this case it would be the Yes/No selection "Destroy Spell/Trap Cards on the field?").

The card effect is "If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can destroy Spell or Trap Cards on the field up to the number of "Wolf" monsters you control." When you Summon it ingame, the box with the Yes/No selection will display "???" as the text. I'd be glad if you showed me how to change that. Thanks in advance.

--destruction
local e1=Effect.CreateEffect(c)
e1:SetDescription(aux.Stringid(502,0))--sets the ??? that comes up to what it says in str1 of the cdb for another str in the cdb just change the 0 to that str number-1
e1:SetCategory(CATEGORY_DESTROY)
e1:SetType(EFFECT_TYPE_SINGLE+EFFECT_TYPE_TRIGGER_O)--Change this to optional as your description says you can
e1:SetCode(EVENT_SUMMON_SUCCESS)
e1:SetTarget(c502.target)
e1:SetOperation(c502.operation)
c:RegisterEffect(e1)
local e2=e1:Clone()
e2:SetCode(EVENT_SPSUMMON_SUCCESS)
c:RegisterEffect(e2)
end
function c502.filter(c)
return c:IsType(TYPE_SPELL+TYPE_TRAP) and c:IsDestructable()
end
function c502.cfilter(c)
return c:IsFaceup() and c:IsSetCard(0x258)
end
function c502.target(e,tp,eg,ep,ev,re,r,rp,chk)
local c=e:GetHandler()
if chk==0 then
local ct=Duel.GetMatchingGroupCount(c502.cfilter,tp,LOCATION_MZONE,0,nil)
e:SetLabel(ct)
return Duel.IsExistingMatchingCard(c502.filter,tp,LOCATION_ONFIELD,LOCATION_ONFIELD,1,nil)
end
local ct=e:GetLabel()
local sg=Duel.GetMatchingGroup(c502.filter,tp,LOCATION_ONFIELD,LOCATION_ONFIELD,nil)
Duel.SetOperationInfo(0,CATEGORY_DESTROY,sg,ct,0,0)
end
function c502.operation(e,tp,eg,ep,ev,re,r,rp)
local ct=Duel.GetMatchingGroupCount(c502.cfilter,tp,LOCATION_MZONE,0,nil)
local g=Duel.GetMatchingGroup(c502.filter,tp,LOCATION_ONFIELD,LOCATION_ONFIELD,nil)
if ct>0 and g:GetCount()>0 and Duel.SelectYesNo(tp,aux.Stringid(502,0)) then
Duel.Hint(HINT_SELECTMSG,tp,HINTMSG_DESTROY)
local dg=g:Select(tp,1,ct,nil)
Duel.HintSelection(dg)
Duel.Destroy(dg,REASON_EFFECT)
end
end
