if then else if then else if then else

I was wondering. Can you nest "if () then {} else {}" commands...Like so? If noone knows I'll try it later. If you can it would be good info to have on this board for others benefit.
 

Code: [Select]

if () then {} else {if () then {} else {if () then {} else {if () then {} else {}}}}

yes

? = if
: = then
you have to put a line underneath for else

e.g
?(num <= 10 ) : goto"under"
goto"over"

yes TL, you can.
And you can use IF...then...else (or if then [{},{}] in places where you can't use ? : (like functions).

Yeah I've been using the if-then-else and while-do commands in my scripts lately. They are extremely handy.

I just was wondering if you could nest them so that you could do a line like so.

if (!alive soldier1) then {hint "soldier1 died"} else {if (!alive soldier2) then {hint "soldier2 died"} else {if (!alive soldier3) then {hint "soldier3 died"} else {if (!alive soldier4) then {hint "soldier4 died"}}}}

I finally got around to trying it and it works.

Thanks Dinger.
