If, And, Then, Or, Else?

I really do hate tag checking and flow control.
I need help with some scripts...



It says that else needs to be follow an If or Then.

Also, I want to make a script that sets a heroes picture differently when they step into a certain area based on a tag check, and then turn it off when they're not in a certain area. How can I do that?

then and else won't work if you just leave them hanging like that. The proper syntax should be like this:



You can do the latter using zones and an "Each step" script. On each step, check to see if the player's standing in a certain zone (read zone). If he is, then change his walkabout sprite.

People keep on mistaking what the syntax of if statements is. I really wonder why. Have you read the Plotscripting Tutorial? Looked at any other articles about scripting on the wiki?

HSpeak also ought to be made better at describing what the error is.

Sephy missed another mistake: "if (check tag(6 == ON))" should be "if (check tag(6) == ON)", which is actually the same as "if (check tag(6))". That one's also very popular, but I blame it on common sense.

Also, you can use ( and ) instead of begin and end. I think it leads to cleaner code:



Finally, whether or not you want to use a tag or zones ("read zone (id)" returns true or false) to figure out if the player is in the area , you probably wanted to know what command to use. Like this:

Thank you, but by tag check...I mean't one determining which picture to set the hero to. The hero can either be a guy or a girl.

EDIT:



I tested this script for the male hero, and it does not work.

The syntax for read zone is actually 'read zone (zone id, x, y)'. Try something like 'read zone(1, herox, heroy)'

Opps.

Also, "set hero picture (0, 11, outside battle) " should be "set hero picture (find hero(0), 11, outside battle)" although it'll appear to work if hero 0 is in the first party slot.
