I want it so when a guest visits the webpage, a box or something opens with a message with 2 options. EG: Yes or No and depending on which one you click you get taken to somewhere else. Also the box should only show once were visit.

Or any similar mods. Thanks a bunch for reading and I hope you can help me out!

Your pop up code you can find on the net. Search google for "java popup".

There is no need to use that condition, you can do a simple one like:

<if condition="$show['guest']">
POP-UP CODE HERE
</if>
As stated in the above post there are loads of sites that already have examples of pop-up. Google for things like "Javascript Popup, Javascript alert" e.t.c. It shouldn't be hard to follow tutorials or examples that are returned.

Depending on what pages you want it to appear on you edit that template.

If you want it to appear on all pages, edit the headinclude template

Isn't this going to be incredibly annoying, and useless to anyone who blocks popups?

Instead of making a pop-up why don't you just make a kind of "splash"/"landing" page where users start browsing from, (like your site index.html file or something) then use that to redirect users to where-ever you need to.
