help with an "or" function

[t0ddie]

i want to do this

HotKeySet("1", "one")

HotKeySet("2", "two")

HotKeySet("3", "three")

$away = 0

Do

sleep(500)

Until $away = 1 or 2 or 3

func one()

$away = 1

endfunc

func two()

$away = 2

endfunc

func three()

$away = 3

endfunc

but this doesnt work. "or" isnt working like i thought it would.

well, i have this script, and it works fine

this is just a test script i wrote up quick to test functionality. my problem is i need to use the "=" operator.

HotKeySet("1", "one")

HotKeySet("2", "two")

HotKeySet("3", "three")

$away = 0

Do

sleep(500)

Until $away <> 0

func one()

$away = 1

endfunc

func two()

$away = 2

endfunc

func three()

$away = 3

endfunc

the script just runs until you press "1", "2" or "3".

the problem lies in the actual script im writing, and not this test script.

their are many different values that "$away" could be, and i want to check the variable against a few set values, and not against a bajillion different values.

i have this code in a "do" "until" loop, and i want it to loop until one of the 3 set values matches the variable "$away"

so if its 1, or 2 or 3... then continue, but anything other than that, keep looping.

is there a better way to do this? thanks

EDIT: i just posted, but im going to try to put the numbers in as strings. i think that may be the problem, LOL

Until $away = "1" or "2" or "3"

EDIT2: nope that didnt work, but it was worth a shot. alot of times i figure out the answer right after i post, lol. but not this time

still broke.

i was on the right track,

thanks jdeb!

i already knew you could do this with "or" but i always used it for seperate variables.

Until $away = 1 or $here = 1 or $there = 1

this time the values were different.

Until $away = 1 or $away = 2 or $away = 3

and yep, it works fine without the quotes around the numbers, since these arent strings.
