Hey everyone. Im writing a pretty complex script, and i'm nearly done with it. Sadly, the last part requires me to check to see if 2 variables are in 3 states (10, 01, 11 as an example). Err, needless to say, I need something of an IF/ELSEIF statement for Zmud. Ive combed the helps, and cant find anything. Only thing i can find is the IF statement, but i need an ELSEIF as well =(
This possible in a single alias?
Or will i end up having to write a series of aliases chaining together constiting of if statements?

Er... ELSEIF? Is that like #IF {condition} {do if true} {else do another IF}? Then why can't you just do it like i just said? Meaning,

That can all be built with what exists. Here is a quick arbitrary example I slapped out with the buit in zmud editor. Pretty print works well for churning out readable code. That should give you what you need for any complex If structures.

You also should check out the referance manual posted online here and study up on conditionals as well. Everything you need should be there.

Incidentally, if you have an if tree in mind. you will probably want a Priority on that block of code as well

#CASE is probably easier:

#case %ismember(@var1,"10|01|11") {
#NOOP for readability
#case %ismember(@var2,"10|01|11") {} {} {}
} {
#NOOP for readability
#case %ismember(@var2,"10|01|11") {} {} {}
} {#NOOP for readability
#case %ismember(@var2,"10|01|11") {} {} {}
}

Depending on your exact application, you might even be able to get away with using this:

#case %ismember(@var1,"10|01|11") {} {} {}
#case %ismember(@var2,"10|01|11") {} {} {}

Ok im confused by most of this.. This is what i want to do..

if ((@buy1 > 1) && (@buy2 > 1))
{
long_mixed
}
else if ((@buy1 > 1 && (@buy2 == -1))
{
long_buy
}
else if (( @buy1 == -1 *&& (@buy2 > 1))
{
long_sell
}
else
{
long_error
}

I need something like that for this to work correctly.. =)

What's hard to understand?

Note, you will still need a trigger wrapped around this so you can execute this block of code at the appropriate times.

Ahhhh, Thanks Billaben! =) that worked. I was confused because I kept getting negitives on #if statements with 2 or more conditions for some odd reason. (C programming comming out, = being assign, == being equals and a few too many spaces for it to work ;) Ended up with, works flawlessly. (Was confusing because ive been working on this damnable script for 3 days now, and this last part got me stuck for 12 hours ;)
Appreciate it =)

No problem. Syntax in zMud can be rather tricky. I reccomend using the editor included with zMud and tagging pretty print regularly. it's good at catching syntax errors for ya.
