Calling a ZScript menu from an actor

[Rip and Tear]

I have created a ZScript menu which displays text from a lump. The menu works fine, but now I need to do two things. First, I need to open the menu from an Actor; and second, I need to pass a string to the menu so it will know which lump to display. How can I accomplish this?

For future reference, this is how I solved this issue. It may not be the cleanest solution, but it works well enough.

1. Give the player an item with a String as a member variable
2. Immediately after giving the player the item and setting the value, open the menu with `Menu.SetMenu`
3. In the menu's init, use `FindInventory` to get a reference to the item and read the value from it
4. Call `Destroy()` from the item's `PostBeginPlay` so it immediately deletes itself

I think using a custom event to pass the info between play and ui would have been a more reliable solution.

Could you please point me in the direction of any relevant documentation/examples?
