It is quite hard to place ELSE - any easier way?

Currently I am having trouble with placing else in the event sheets, especially when I try to connect the else with the right condition.

For instance, take a look here:

<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">

if (user press Z){

if (weapon is 1){

    if (user press UP){

      //shoot up

    }else if (user press DOWN){

      //shoot down

    }else{

      //shoot forward

    }

}else if (weapon is 2){

    if (user press UP){

      //shoot up

    }else{

      //shoot forward

    }

}

}</font>

Something like that. This is just one fraction of something bigger. There are more ELSE but placing these ELSE are quite a pain. It is very hard to snap them in the right places. Are there easier ways to deal with placing ELSE?

Could you please explain, what you want to achieve?

Maybe I could suggest an alternative, but I need to know, what kind of game and effect you want to have.

Dont use else that too buggy, instead use a structure like and equivalent to C++ switch.

something like this:

+ MouseKeyboard: Player 1 "fire" is down

+ player: Value 'weapon' Equal to 0

    + MouseKeyboard: Player 1 "upkey" is down

      -> player: Set animation to "fire_up_weapon0"

    + MouseKeyboard: Player 1 "downkey" is down

      -> player: Set animation to "fire_down_weapon0"

+ player: Value 'weapon' Equal to 1

    + MouseKeyboard: Player 1 "upkey" is down

      -> player: Set animation to "fire_up_weapon1"

    + MouseKeyboard: Player 1 "downkey" is down

      -> player: Set animation to "fire_down_weapon1"

You can do "Else if" like this:

if (weapon is 1){

    if (user press UP){

      //shoot up

    }else{

        if (user press DOWN){

        //shoot down

        }else{

        //shoot forward

        }

}else{

    if (weapon is 2){

        if (user press UP){

        //shoot up

        }else{

        //shoot forward

        }

    }

}

"Else if" is like puting an "if" inside an "else"...
