Well, maybe it's just me, but I have this small mob prog that is just driving me a little nutty.
As far as I can see, it all works fine. But I'm still getting a bug error.

Bug: [*****] BUG: Mob #701: Found else in an else section.

The program still works, but this bug report is just driving me a little nuts.
Here's the code for the prog.

3>all_greet_prog 100
if ispc($n)
if isimmort($n)
if name($n) == Aster
Say Greetings Aster, Creator of the Omniverse
else
say Greetings Immortal. How fare thee on this fine day?
endif
else
if sex($n) == 0
say Greetings, Creation of Legaeldan.
mpsleep 4
say Do you wish to converse with the almighty creator of the realm?
else
if sex($n) == 1
Say Greetings Son of Aster.
mpsleep 4
say Do you wish to converse with the almighty creator of the realm?
else
if sex($n) == 2
say Greetings Daughter of Silvanyis.
mpsleep 4
say Do you wish to converse with the almighty creator of the realm?
endif
endif
else
say Greeting creature of the realm.
endif
endif
endif

If anyone has a solution t this it would be great. Will be able to sleep better then. :biggrin:

Oh, also, this is what's happening at the time of the report.

Erewen arrives from below.
Aster's Assistant says ' Greetings, Creation of Legaeldan. '
Ok.

It doesn't like all those else being used in there. You can probably get it all done without having all the else in there and just use the if checks. I don't have time currently to test it out though, but try it a few different ways and let me know how it goes for you.

When I read that prog, I'm not sure what to make of it.

Is it only supposed to trigger on Immortals? and then mortals all get called creatures of the realm? Or is there maybe an endif out of place?

It works, essentially. It's just giving me that bug error once it's said the sentence about conversing.

The way it works is, it responds to immortals with a normal greeting without the question.
Then if the player is not an immortal, it greets them depending on sex, followed by the question about conversing.

So if a girl walks in, it greets a daughter or silvanyis, a boy, it greets a son of aster, and a nuetral, a creation of legaeldan.

It works fine on immortals. But when it gets to the section about mortals and their sex, when it comes to the end of the section of code, it bugs. And it's the same for all sexes, not just one or two.

Just use breaks.

if isnpc($n)
say Greeting creature of the realm.
break
endif
if isimmort($n)
...

etc

Thanks for all the help you guys. I had a play with things, and changed the way the program asked the if checks.
Finally works the way I need it to.

Here's what I went with:

if name($n) == Aster
say Greetings Aster, Creator of the Omniverse.
else
if isimmort($n)
say Greetings Immortal ruler of the land.
else
if sex($n) == 0
say Greetings, Creation of Legaeldan.
mpsleep 4
say Do you wish to converse with the almighty creator of the realm?
else
if sex($n) == 1
Say Greetings, Son of Aster.
mpsleep 4
say Do you wish to converse with the almighty creator of the realm?
else
if sex($n) == 2
say Greetings, Daughter of Silvanyis.
mpsleep 4
say Do you wish to converse with the almighty creator of the realm?
endif

Thanks for the help :biggrin:

Glad you got it working.

I personally probably would have gone a route like:

if name($n) == Aster
   say Greetings Aster, Creator of the Omniverse.
else
if isimmort($n)
   say Greetings Immortal ruler of the land.
else
if ispc($n)
   if sex($n) == 0
      say Greetings, Creation of Legaeldan.
      mpsleep 4
      say Do you wish to converse with the almighty creator of the realm?
   else
   if sex($n) == 1
      Say Greetings, Son of Aster.
      mpsleep 4
      say Do you wish to converse with the almighty creator of the realm?
   else
   if sex($n) == 2
      say Greetings, Daughter of Silvanyis.
      mpsleep 4
      say Do you wish to converse with the almighty creator of the realm?
   endif
else
if isnpc($n)
   say Greetings, Creature of the realm.
endif

Although, as a further stipulation, I'm pretty sure I've implemented elseif as an argument for my progs locally, so my actually prog probably wouldn't look exactly like this. But still.
