What is the difference between "Else" and this?

I'm just making a simple pause menu. The events:

WITHOUT ELSE

This was my first try... for whatever reason, doesn't worked. So, I tried with an "Else":

WITH ELSE

And it works fine '-'

So... my question is: the two methods isn't the same thing?

Thanks.

Line3 in the first picture is [ELSEIF: Do something], so after that you have "imaginary Line4" with [ELSE: Do nothing].

Line3 in 2nd picture is [ELSE: Do something].

In your first picture, Line3 fired because the variable: pause is updated to 1in line2.

Line3 in the first picture is [ELSEIF: Do something], so after that you have "imaginary Line4" with [ELSE: Do nothing].

Line3 in 2nd picture is [ELSE: Do something].

In your first picture, Line3 fired because the variable: pause is updated to 1in line2.

I disagree that it's an ELSEIF

It's basically:

IF <condition1> THEN <action1> ENDIF

IF <condition2> THEN <action2> ENDIF

not

IF <condition1> THEN <action1>

ELSEIF <condition2> THEN <action2>

ENDIF

In the former BOTH actions can execute (and in fact did; thus the OP's problem).

In the latter only ONE action can execute.

Oh yeah you're correct! What I have in mind was the else from elseif is referring to the pause=0 in previous line, I knew this but still making mistake. Sorry Zathan

Nah it's fine, I knew what you meant, it's just that it might confuse a beginner (not necessarily the OP)

Construct 2 runs events from top to bottom. So in your first picture, the last action in line 2 sets pause to 1. It then goes on to the next line and since pause is set to 1 it runs the event. With an Else condition, line 3 cannot run if line 2 runs.

Hey codah just because I am OP you don't have to tell everyone. LOL

Now I'm confused!

codah if you are confused! then you should contact TOM or Ashley through confused.co** LOL

hehehe thank you, guys

Now I get it.. in fact, it's very simple.

As Drakkith Said, "Construct 2 runs events from top to bottom".

So, without the else in this case, there is nothing to stop the third line of execute.. it will always execute both lines.
