if $ then go to section1

[Guest Guest_LoneReaper]

I have an if statement and if its true i want it to go to a section of the script and if not go to another section. what is that called?

you can do a really big if statement and it would work.. but I think maybe this is where Select.. case.. endselect could be used?

There are several ways to accomplish this, and each has advantages depending on the rest of your code.

Method 1: If-Else

If <CONDITION> Then
   ;do your "true" code here
Else
   ;do your "false" code here
EndIf

Method 2: Select-Case

Select
  Case <CONDITION>
     ;do your "true" code here
  Case Else
     ;do your "false" code here
EndSelect

Method 3: Functions

If <CONDITION> Then
  TrueFunction()
Else
  FalseFunction()
EndIf

;rest of your script goes here as required

Func TrueFunction()
   ;do your "true" code here
EndFunc

Func FalseFunction()
   ;do your "false" code here
EndFunc

If $variable = 1 Then
MsgBox(0, "My Message", "$variable = 1!")
Else
MsgBox(0, "My Message", "$variable != 1!")
EndIf

Of course replace condition with desired condition, and same thing with what's in the if statement.
