Wondering if it was possible to use a forloop to define cases.

[Ajjwidjdneidjenw]

Just wondering it was possible to do something like this, instead of defining cases indifidually. I am currently unable to test, hence I'm asking.

switch(select(
 "Start from Beggining ["+.lifecost[0]+"]:"+
 ((.unlock && @lives > .lifecost[1])?"Start from flag 1 ["+.lifecost[1]+"]:":":")+
 ((.unlock > 1 && @lives > .lifecost[2])?"Start from flag 2 ["+.lifecost[2]+"]:":":")+
 ((.unlock > 2 && @lives > .lifecost[3])?"Start from flag 3 ["+.lifecost[3]+"]:":":")+
 "Quit")
 )
 for(set .@i,1; .@i < 5, set .@i, .@i+1) {
  case .@i:
set @lives,@lives-.lifecost[(.@i-1)];
atcommand "@alive "+strcharinfo(0);
dispbottom "You have "+@lives+" Lives left";
warp "hellfire",.hellwarp[.@i],.Hellwarp[.@i+1];
break;

edit:

There we go.

cannot

script error on npc/zzz.txt line xxxx
parse_syntax: 'case' label not integer

and correct way to do this .... switch..case not even needed

whenever the script parse *select, *prompt or *menu

and the player selected the option

will return @menu variable

... can read further on *menu inside script_commands.txt

select "start from beginning ... ",
( condition 1 )? " <statement 1 >" : "" ,
( condition 2 )? " <statement 2 >" : "" ,
( condition 3 )? " <statement 3 >" : "" ,
set @lives, @lives - lifecost[ @menu ];
....
warp "hellfire", .hellwarpx[ @menu ], .hellwarpy[ @menu ];
...

select "1", "", "3";

will show up only 2 options , but select the "3" will still return @menu = 3

leaving the option as "" will not show up in the selection, but the variable still retains the counter of options correctly

Interesting; I didn't know select returned an @menu variable. I really should read the manual lmao.

found it

'This function is a handy replacement for 'menu' for some specific cases where

you don't want a complex label structure - like, for example, asking simple yes-

no questions. It will return the number of menu option picked, starting with 1.

Like 'menu', it will also set the variable @menu to contain the option the user

picked.'
