If..then..else dumb question

[Ade]

Bear with me becauseI have been mission editing for less than a week...
Using OFPR 1.91

Looking in the official comref, my understanding of how to build an if..then statement is that you do it like this:

if (condition) then [{action1},{action2}]

But looking around the forum for posts, I've noticed people using:

?_condition ...

Can someone please tell me what the correct struture is?

Cheers,
Ade

They are both correct.

the:

?condition:dosomething

has allways been supported by OFP

if (condition) then {dosometihng} else {do somethinglese}

was added in 1.85, and adds alot of flexibilty - as you have the "else" part wich allows you to also nest them (see this) FAQ item

Thanks Toad,

That's cleared that one up.  Now on with the script!

Heres a question for you Toad, I have a script for back blast and effects right.
Was a pain to get weapon specific, now however I want it to be "Law" or "RPG"

Here it is as is:

_man=_this select 0
_object=nearestobject [_man,"Law"]
_pos=getpos _object
_lifeTime =35
_delay = 0.001
_velocity=[0,0,1]
_lifeTicks = _lifeTime / _delay
_lifeTick = _lifeTicks

now how can I get "RPG" and "LAW" into the same array?

Ask this question in it's own thread and Ill answer it.
