ELSE Statements

Hello again!

I have been working on a menu function using a number of buttons, and have run into the problem of simultaneous executions from a single button press. After reading through the forums, there have been several mentions of using the ELSE function to fix this. However, I cannot seem to get it to work. Are there any examples of the else function in action that are available to check out?

Thanks!

You must put "ELSE" as a different Event.

For example, if you want to accomplish something like this:

if ( MyObject('myVariable') == 12)

DoSomething;

else

DoAnotherThing;

You have to prepare such events:

Event #1:

Conditions: MyObject('myVariable') is equal to 12

Actions: DoSomething

Event #2 (right below Event #1)

Conditions: ELSE

Action: DoAnotherThing

When you use "OR" then OR is just withing the same event. But when you are using "ELSE", this "ELSE" must be a seperate event. What is more, this "ELSE" event must be put right below event you want to have else-d. You'll notice a line connecting Event #1 and "ELSE Event" - this line shows which event the "ELSE Event" is referencing to.

i prefer to use ELSE in a sub-event

i prefer to use ELSE in a sub-event

Does that work?? We only coded it to work for following events...

It worked some builds ago...

i believe so...

like

on click

--condition 1 -- do something

--else -- do something else

--else -- do something else

It's following a sub-event, it's not just a sub-event.

That's why it works.

Oh right, yeah. I thought you meant:

+ Condition

----> ELSE ...

It works fine via subevents like you say.

AH!!

Thank you! That fixed it.

Ok. I thought I had it, but no luck. Ive uploaded the .cap if some one wants to take a look at and tell me where I am messing up, that would be helpful.

The way you have it now, the ELSE statement is completely bypassing the sub events, so it's working like this:

-If global variable "Menu State" is "Main"

+ Do nothing

-Else

+ Set global variable "Menu State" to "Main"

So you are always setting "Menu State" to "Main".

Thanks a bunch. Got that fixed (by simply deleting the ELSE), but the single player menu still refuses to execute (I believe that the single player menu return is initiating the moment I press the single player execute button). Is there a way to fix this in its current format, or should I be using a different base structure altogether?
