Making conditional branch dynamically

[Jacquelinett]

I had been making an event system, things are fine, my code work fine, but now i stuck on a conceptual idea

how would i implement the conditional branch dynamically?

I cant seem to find a good way to code it that make use efficiently of space, and having multiple if at once

You'd have to compare the event variable to determine which if statement to run, they would be an array based on the total of events allowed.

eventVariable(eventNum); Pretty much.

And allow your event editor to set your eventVariable(eventNum);

I'm not fluent in how any other language handles but eh, basically the idea is the same.

I thought of that, but wouldnt it just comparing 1 statement?

say

i have an int* ConditionalBranch[MapSize], if this int[locationsomewhere, the x, y coor] have the value of a nonzero, then let say

i have a function call "Execute"

so like

Before it do the stuff in event, it check the condition first.

I suck at explaining thing, but i do what i planned, it only allow an if statement, and no else statement

neither is else if.

That's why RPG Maker event system allows more than 1 conditional branch;

So within it's programs code, it will compare the variable each time it's in the event editor.

(First conditional)

if variable = 1 then

else

(Second conditional)

if variable = 2 then

else

end if

end if

Then when the event is saved, the variable is usually carried by a players file (or not if ran within the server) as int eventVar(eventNum)

Then the inner code will check whether the code executes or not.

if eventVar(eventNum) == int[locationsomewhere, the x, y coor]

{

Execute

}

End if

Lol my explanation is probably 100 times worse, I'm not knowing the coding language you're working with.

/implying i can just type in else and else and else?

wait

i think im beginning to see what u mean

i think

im not sure

but isnt what u are trying to say

is basically do what i said earlier which is to call the check function if the data isnt 0

and the number that isnt zero represent a branch type, where u can compare thing?

but if you have an overloaded function where u put in 2 variable, then you would compare the if and else?

but what i just said make no sense

I think function pointers are what you are looking for.
