I have a situation where i need the switch statement to act like it does in C++ or java or most other languages.


This is what I want my switch to look like, but in dm. Is there any shorthand way?
var/value
switch(card_value)
 case 0:
   value+=1
   break
 case 1: case 2:
   value+=2
   break
 case 3: case 4: case 5: case 6:
   value+=3
   break

You could do this
mob/verb/test(n as num)
    switch(n)
        if(1 to 9)
            world<<1
        if(10 to 20)
            world<<2



As for case x:, No.

What about strings?

No dice for strings either?

For strings you'd have to do them seperately.
switch(cake)
  if("Stringname")
  if("SecondStringName")

There is a way to specify multiple options (values) for a switch case in DM. I'm not going to bother telling you the specifics, though, since it takes the minimum of common sense to look up something you have a question about, especially before making a topic about it. This is simple info that is right there in the documentation.

I'ma smack you Kaioken >:{ Not really, but you are right. I didn't bother looking up switch() again. and I just did, and I now see why you said that. :3

Oh yes, how impressive and surprising. The documentation explains things.

No, you don't. You need to look up switch() in the Reference as well, apparently.

We covered that already in a different set of posts Garthor. xP
