Hi

I want to compare the value of a variable several times and do something different for each value, but I don't want to use the if statement repeatedly. Is there a formula for its average?

Can you give an example?

There are some expressions you can use. For example:

set result to chooseindex(var, "foo", "bar", "baz")

set result to (var=0 ? "foo" : var=1 ? "bar" : "baz")

Example:

if(a==1)

{

somthings//////////////////

}

if(a==2)

{

somthings//////////////////

}

if(a==3)

{

somthings//////////////////

}

if(a==4)

{

somthings//////////////////

}

if(a==5)

{

somthings//////////////////

Can you give an example of "somthings//////////////////"?

Some things will be possible to optimize, but you need to be more specific.

For example, for each value of variable 'a', a special subject should be created and different variables should be set.

Of course, I mean how to reduce the 'if' statement and use an alternative statement. Like the 'switch case' command in 'Game Maker'.

'Switch case' won't be much shorter than a bunch of 'ifs'.

Like I said, you can use chooseindex or ternary operators to create objects by name:

Create (a=1 ? "Zombie" : a=2 ? "Goblin" : a=3 ? "Troll" : "Skeleton")

If you need to assign an instance variable you will have to add all these objects to a family and pick last created instance:

Pick Last Created MonstersFamily

MonstersFamily set health to (a=1 ? 5 : a=2 ? 10 : a=3 ? 50 : 3)
