If you have a list,
var/list/temp
with a variable number of components, and you want to include it in a switch statement:
switch(input("","",) in temp)
how can you return the chosen component from within temp? I tried the following:
switch(input("","",) in temp)
if(temp[1])
. . . . .
but it said that the if() statement expected a constant expression

ok, that took care of part of the problem, but is there a way to make it so that you don't have to write states for
if(1) if(2) if(3) . . . to infinity? something that just assigns the chosen value of the switch to some other variable would be ideal | |
It seems that some people (presumably you, as well) overuse switch(). switch() is used for when you know what a value is going to be, but you don't want to use a whole lot of if()s. For example
proc/switch_example() var/switch = input(usr,"") in list("One","Two") switch(switch) if("One") world << "[usr] chose number one!" if("Two") world << "[usr] did not choose one, /he chose two!" If you just wanted to make usr.name into "One" or "Two," for example, you would simply: proc/set_name() usr.name = input("") in list("One","Two") Hope I could help you! -Lord of Water | |
switch(temp.Find(input("","",) in temp))
if(1)
