Suppose I want to check a group of values, 1-8. If 1,2,3 & 4 all equal 2, something happens. That same thing happens if 5,6,7 & 8 all equal 4. Can I put both these conditions into the same if statement like this:

Code:

if (
   V1==2,
   and,
   V2==2,
   and,
   V3==2,
   and,
   V4==2,
   or,
   V5==4,
   and,
   V6==4,
   and,
   V7==4,
   and,
   V8==4)
then (endoftheworldasweknowit)


Or would that check if 1&2&3, 4 or 5, 6&7&8?

This is part of a pretty long and complicated script with a lot of if, then, else type deals going on, so having to do as few of them as possible is a priority.

use parenthesis. I would write it more like this:

Code:
if ( (V1==2, and, V2==2, and, V3==2, and, V4==2),
      or,
     (V5==4, and, V6==4, and, V7==4, and, V8==4) )
then (endoftheworldasweknowit)



of course, if you really want it slick and clean, just break the conditional into a separate script:

Code:


script, is end of world, begin
  if (V1==2, and, V2==2, and, V3==2, and, V4==2) then(exit returning(true))
  if (V5==4, and, V6==4, and, V7==4, and, V8==4) then(exit returning(true))
  exit returning(false)
end

plotsscript, whatever, begin

  if(is end of world) then (endoftheworldasweknowit)

end



Yeah... that is what I would do.

[/quote]This script is both useful (in being informative) and awesome at the same time.

Holy cow! I never thought I'd get a useful answer in less than fifteen minutes. That has to be some kind of a record. A million thanks, that should work out perfectly.

Of course, you can always use && and || instead of ,and, and ,or, . In fact, you can write
Code:
if (
   V1==2
   &&
   V2==2
   &&
   V3==2
   &&
   V4==2
   ||
   V5==4
   &&
   V6==4
   &&
   V7==4
   &&
   V8==4)
then (endoftheworldasweknowit)

and it'll do what you wanted (but using brackets is still a good idea)

Umm... not sure what you mean. I assume you're talking about this:
Code:
if ( (V1==2, and, V2==2, and, V3==2, and, V4==2),
      or,
     (V5==4, and, V6==4, and, V7==4, and, V8==4) )
then (endoftheworldasweknowit)


I think the answer is no. "(V1==2, and, V2==2, and, V3==2, and, V4==2), or, (V5==4, and, V6==4, and, V7==4, and, V8==4)" is a single expression, and if branches depending on on the overall value.
