Topic: If else-- solved

[dbuske]

Ok, I have a puzzle that the main character must give the other characters
a correct inventory item.
If they give a wrong item, then I need to have the game return without crashing.
I checked the help on disk and online
I was unable to make it work.
I used inventory on a character and I assume if the correct inv is not given
I need to use, if else.
I do the game on my other computer now which is not net enabled yet.
If I have to, I can copy what I have to a blank cd and transfer it over. I would rather not.

Just use "else" if you're not introducing another condition. Also, please provide more info when asking for help, and the code used

[Matti]

Yeah, just use else like this:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. function character_UseInv()
2. {
3.   if (player.ActiveInventory == iCorrectItem) {
4.     ...
5.   }
6.   else {
7.     ...
8.   }
9. }
10.  

You can use "else if" in case you have more than two conditions:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1.   if (player.ActiveInventory == iBanana) {}
2.   else if (player.ActiveInventory == iApple) {}
3.   else if (player.ActiveInventory == iPhone) {}
4.   else {}
5.

Thanks, like I said I did read the if else documentation.
I will try it out now.  It is greek to me right now.

Just go at it step by step.
It's either:
if (CONDITION) {COMMANDS} else {COMMANDS}
or:
if (CONDITION) {COMMANDS} else if (CONDITION) {COMMANDS} else {COMMANDS}

That's plain English and simple logic. Programming doesn't get much easier than that.

It is solved.  Thanks everyone.
