quick question about switch(rand(1,30))
Well I never really looked up switch in the ref before so I decided to do it because I thought it could be the cause to why my proc wasn't working...

and it says ...
"The "switch" instruction is a compact notation for a lengthy "else-if" chain."

else-if

so that means if I had an if() statement before the switch and it was true it would call it and not call the switch?
just a possibility?

is there any other way to do this...

switch(rand(1,30))
if(1,10)
if(11,12)
etc?

There is an example of this in the reference but if you wanted you could do: something to something. Example:

switch(rand(1,30))
     if(1 to 10)
          //blah
     if(11,12)
          //blah


The first uses a range and the second uses specific values.

because puting 1,10 used to mean 1 to 10, or atleast that's how it used to work!! Weird...

if(1,10) in a switch command has always meant if it was 1 or 10, never if it was inclusively between 1 and 10.
