If Statements...

Hey Karl. here's my problem. No matter what kind of If statement I use and no matter if x is actually = to the 22 or not.... it always does everything anyways. FE - if I have this:

Code: Select all

If (x = 20;){
       Attack = Attack + 20
}
Else; {
       Attack = Attack - 10
}
End If;

and when it runs what happens is it'll add 20 to attack, and then it'll subtract 10 from it. Why does it do this? and how can I fix it? (it'll do it when x is equal to 15 too.. Whats wrong?

Because your code is weird.

Why do you have x=20; and Else;
they shouldn't have ; after them. Statements should, like Attack = Attack + 20;

Actionscript also doesn't use End If;
it uses if (condition) {
// do something
}
that's it.

It gives me an error if I pull out the ';' and it also errors and tells me I need to put End If; if I leave it off... WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG!

The code should be this:

if (x == 20){
Attack = Attack + 20;
}
else {
Attack = Attack - 10;
}


First off, your equal signs need to be double equals when checking for equality, otherwise it is like setting x equal to 20. Second, you are placing the semi-colons in the wrong places. Semi-colons only need to be after command statements. In other words, if it is the start of a function, or checking for equality... you dont need a semicolon. This is sort of a hard concept to explain, but for the record, the code I gave you should work.

Ahh thanks man

No problem :-) I owed ya one for the navigation menu help!
