If already ran, don't allow to run again.

Alright, so I am using C++ to make a modification to a game. So if you don't understand the coding logic then I can explain. Alright so this is pretty basic stuff, I know the logic to it, but I don't know how to get it to work.

What I want to do is let the person select an option in the function and then the code registers the choice, but if the person tries to go back to that option and rechoose it doesn't let them.

Could someone help me? Heres the function (remember its using a completely different reference, so the language could confuse you)

Its only the top bit and the case 0: bit you have to worry about these bits:

if you're lazy just make a bool variable (or a flag) and ask if he allready did that before.

bool allready_done = false;

// set flag after operation and check before operation
if(allready_done == false) 
{
    // do something
    allready_done = true;
}
