Hey gurus, I was just wondering if there is max number of %if's you can out in a script before it A)cant process it anymore or B)becomes reduntant.

Take this script for example:
#ALIAS mlvl {level %1;hitroll %abs( %1+20);hitdice %if( %1=100, 40d300+5000)%if( %1=101, 40d302+5005)%if( %1=102, 40d304+5010)%if( %1=103, 41d306+5015)%if( %1=104, 41d308+5020)%if( %1=105, 42d310+5025)%if( %1=106, 42d312+5030)%if( %1=107, 43d314+5035)%if( %1=108, 43d316+5040)%if( %1=109, 44d318+5045)%if( %1=110, 45d320+5050)%if( %1=111, 45d321+5065)%if( %1=112, 45d322+5080)%if( %1=113, 46d323+5095)%if( %1=114, 46d324+5110)%if( %1=115, 47d325+5125)%if( %1=116, 47d326+5140)%if( %1=117, 48d327+5155)%if( %1=118, 48d328+5170)%if( %1=119, 49d329+5185)%if( %1=120, 50d330+5200)%if( %1=121, 50d331+5220)%if( %1=122, 50d332+5240)%if( %1=123, 51d333+5260)%if( %1=124, 51d334+5280)%if( %1=125, 52d335+5300)%if( %1=126, 52d336+5320)%if( %1=127, 53d337+5340)%if( %1=128, 53d338+5360)%if( %1=129, 54d339+5380)%if( %1=130, 55d340+5400)%if( %1=131, 55d341+5420)%if( %1=132, 55d342+5440)%if( %1=133, 56d343+5460)%if( %1=134, 56d344+5480)%if( %1=135, 57d345+5500)%if( %1=136, 57d346+5520)%if( %1=137, 58d347+5540)%if( %1=138, 58d348+5560)%if( %1=139, 59d349+5580)%if( %1=140, 60d350+5600);damdice %if( %1=100, 10d20+75)%if( %1=101, 10d20+76)%if( %1=102, 10d20+78)%if( %1=103, 10d20+79)%if( %1=104, 10d21+81)%if( %1=105, 10d21+82)%if( %1=106, 10d21+84)%if( %1=107, 11d21+85)%if( %1=108, 11d21+87)%if( %1=109, 11d22+89)%if( %1=110, 11d22+90)%if( %1=111, 11d22+90)%if( %1=112, 11d22+91)%if( %1=113, 11d22+91)%if( %1=114, 11d23+92)%if( %1=115, 11d23+92)%if( %1=116, 11d23+93)%if( %1=117, 12d23+93)%if( %1=118, 12d23+94)%if( %1=119, 12d24+94)%if( %1=120, 12d24+95)%if( %1=121, 12d24+95)%if( %1=122, 12d24+96)%if( %1=123, 12d24+96)%if( %1=124, 12d25+97)%if( %1=125, 12d25+97)%if( %1=126, 12d25+98)%if( %1=127, 13d25+98)%if( %1=128, 13d25+99)%if( %1=129, 13d26+99)%if( %1=130, 13d26+100)%if( %1=131, 13d26+102)%if( %1=132, 13d26+104)%if( %1=133, 13d27+106)%if( %1=134, 13d27+108)%if( %1=135, 13d27+110)%if( %1=136, 14d27+112)%if( %1=137, 14d27+114)%if( %1=138, 14d28+116)%if( %1=139, 14d28+118)%if( %1=140, 14d28+120)}

When building on a mud it gets pretty tedious to go look up a mobs lvl and copy and paste several things based on that lvl.So I made this script, which works just fine. But what I'm wondering is would it be plausable to add another 180 %if statements for both the hitdice and damdice commands(for a grand total of 440 if statements)? Also, anyone think there is a better solution to this?I'm all ears

I am sure the is a much more efficient way to do this, based on the patterns of the IF's. However I have no idea what yer trying to do, explain a bit more what this script does, where it gets the data and we'll fix you up :)

#CASE or %case is the better option. Since your current structure lends itself to %if, you would probably want to go with %case.

Syntax: %case(i,s1,s2,s3...)

You seem to start at 100 so you want:
hitdice %case(%eval(%1-99),40d300+5000, 40d302+5005, 40d304+5010, 41d306+5015, 41d308+5020, 42d310+5025, 42d312+5030, 43d314+5035, 43d316+5040, 44d318+5045, 45d320+5050, 45d321+5065, 45d322+5080, 46d323+5095, 46d324+5110, 47d325+5125, 47d326+5140, 48d327+5155, 48d328+5170, 49d329+5185, 50d330+5200, 50d331+5220, 50d332+5240, 51d333+5260, 51d334+5280, 52d335+5300, 52d336+5320, 53d337+5340, 53d338+5360, 54d339+5380, 55d340+5400, 55d341+5420, 55d342+5440, 56d343+5460, 56d344+5480, 57d345+5500, 57d346+5520, 58d347+5540, 58d348+5560, 59d349+5580, 60d350+5600);

Just wanted to let you guys know that its taking 215 parameter strings per command, and smiling!

Though I'll have to remember next time I use extremely long scripts like that, to turn off the 'Syntax check while typing' Option before editing
