I assume you're aware of the helpfile that comes with AGS?

Yeah, that's my first point of reference when I encounter problems or questions. Since the online manual and the AGS help file appear to be the same, in future I'll use Google to search the online manual instead. (For example, type site:http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual along with my key words of interest.) I suspect many of the newbie "can I do this?" questions wouldn't be necessary if the help documentation were more accessible to text searches. (And more flexible searching; as Ryan Timothy pointed out, not everyone is experienced enough to know to search for "operators".)

Anyway, don't want to sound rude and all, but... heh, I always have uneasy feeling when people asking questions like "does AGS have <some ultra-basic-which-every-programming-language-has code feature here>".
I would be seriously terrified if AGS didn't have them.

Me too, but we're only asking these questions because we expect the AGS language to have such functionality, but can't find documentation about it. At least some of us know exactly what we're looking for, but can't find it with ease. After all, this is the Beginners' Technical Forum.

Thanks, Khris. Just found the operators section on the Wiki page.

Is there any way to search for operators (for example) in the manual? Most of my troubles stem from not being able to find what I'm looking for.

So in fact the answer is "no". Based on the manual, then, AGS is only capable of "else if" statements.

Thanks.

Sure it does. It doesn't have switch-case, but the "IF" feature is there since day one :)

This is from the built in AGS manual.

Hello. I'm trying to figure out if AGS is capable of "if and" statements. I have read the help manual (accessed from within the software itself), and have searched this forum.

The title of one post appeared relevant (see http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=8270.0), but a moderator has moved the post, deleted the content and provided a link which is now dead.

A live link to some assistance on this issue would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
