Bug in scripting language: if and else #71508 15/02/04 08:41 PM

However, if it does contain an a, both messages are printed. In order words, the "else" branch is processed even if the condition was true. This seems to be true of any if-else statement I try. Thanks

Example: Code: /test { if (a iswm $1-) { /echo -a There is an a! } else { /echo -a There is no a! } } Code: /test { if (a iswm $1-) { /echo -a There is an a! } [color:red]\|[/color] else { /echo -a There is no a! } } Same goes for else if >:D -KingTomato

Also there's a bug in the script editor - it incorrectly indents the lines if you use a multi-line else, but indents correctly with a single-line else. eg. Code: on :HOTLINK:::{ if (a* iswm $1) { echo a is in it } else { [color:orange]<- Still indented[/color] echo a is not in it } } on :HOTLINK:::{ if (a* iswm $1) { echo a is in it } else echo a is not in it [color:orange]<- Correctly indented[/color] } Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
