Problem description:
The problem is that i want to see if it shows the roles that are available to the world. But it doesn't show anything at all.
it goes like this:
Instead of the following:
goto PICKEDPICKED
you should just use break where the goto is. That'll stop (or rather, break) the for() loop.
Ugh! Why don't you group all similar if()s together? Like all the if(NormalMode || RealWorldMode) in one. And you can reuse the same variable! But, if you paid attention to the first snippet I provided, you don't even need that!
Again, if you want to break a loop, use break. Especially in that while. And learn some Boolean tricks as well, they are so ever useful. (Ugh, I wish Bwiki was still here :( ).
Now, is AvailableRoles an initialized globally-defined variable? Did any errors appeared when you tried using the said snippet/verb? Did you tried using length() to make sure that the /list is not empty?
