Ifelse help?

I've been trying to figure it out from the wiki, but not really been able to.. so a question on if/else blocks ^_^


I found out yesterday that it's possible to do ifelse in a couple ways:

if(condition) effect;
else if(condition) effect;
else(conditoin effect);

or

if(condition)
{
        effect;
}
else if(condition)
{
        effect;
}
else
{
        effect;
}

But I can't figure out the difference. Is the method using the curly brackets just an easier way to organize or do they act differently?

I did figure out that trying to do an ifelse call within an ifelse call is impossilbe without using the curly bracket method, as there's no way to differentiate the end...

You can contain multiple lines in a curly bracket.

Is that the only difference though? THey act the same, just brackets allow more per call?

(pssst I think you mean "else if", not "if else" in your code)

Your two examples execute the same. Curly braces allow you to use multiple statements, and thus are more maintainable, so you will sometimes see people use them even if they only have one 'effect'.

Note that LSL is a little strange in having a rather low max number of cascaded if..else clauses, I believe it is 20? 24? I'd have to look it up.

yeah lol...either way its understandable =P

And thankies much ^_^

If you still need help, IM me in game.
