| - | ====Invalid usage==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | You should take care when writing <<if>> macros that you write correct expressions, and that you remember what the "and" and "or" keywords are capable of. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | <<if $health > 2 and < 4>> | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | This is invalid because the ''>'' and ''<'' operators (and indeed, all such operators) require a distinct value to be on both sides of it. In a sense, it is internally interpreted as ''<<if ($health > 2) and ( < 4)>>'', which is obviously nonsensical. So, you must rewrite this as ''<<if $health > 2 and $health < 4>>''. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | <<if $name is "Perone" or "Pavone">> | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | This is also invalid, for a different reason: it will be interpreted as ''<<if ($name is "Perone") or ("Pavone")>>'' - which is to say, it is true if $name is "Perone", or if the string "Pavone" is not false. This, of course, means that it's always true - an undesirable outcome. You must rewrite it as ''<<if $name is "Perone" or $name is "Pavone">>''. | ||
