Too many nested if/else statements? (SOLVED)

[masseymoviegames]

I need some help, but I don't know if there's any way to fix this problem.

I just placed my 75th script request into the dialog_request section, and it's telling me that I've used too many if/else statements when I try to save it.

This is a fairly major issue because I haven't even half-finished the overall game I'm making yet and could really use some advice if there is a way to increase the amount of statements I could use.

Thanks!

You can split it into two (or more) functions.

Code: ags

function dialog_request2(int parameter){
  if(parameter==76){
    ...
  }
  else ...
}

function dialog_request(int parameter){
  if(parameter==1){
    ...
  }

  ...

  else if(parameter==75){
    ...
  }
  else{
    dialog_request2(parameter);
  }
}

will get you on your way.

However versions 3.1 (I think) and above allow scripts right in the dialogs which will save you a lot of headaches.

Thanks a lot!
And by the way, the game's actually being built as a whole game, then released in parts.
I'll hopefully have Part 1 out within the next few weeks.
I'm aiming for next Sunday. For the rest of the parts to be released over the summer.

Thanks again!

Good luck!

Yes, this is important. Don't use dialog_request, it is ugly and obsolete. Just put the scripts in your dialog scripts which makes them much easier to follow.
