I was making a project and I had a pretty long script of if statements (it's a drawing project)

if <(tool) = [paint brush]>
scripts
End
Etc.

Eventually in one of my if statements the statement was true. But the script didn't work! I even picked out the booleans and it was all true. So I took that if statement out of the script and clicked on it. Then it worked. But when I put it back with the long script it didn't work.
I was just wondering why this would be. Anyway, I just used a broadcast to continue and split the script.

There were probably too many if blocks to report true. If you had a lot of ifs iinside each other this may be the issue.

And whoa. I haven't seen you around for a long time!!

It's a good idea to use if/elses instead, like so:

if <(tool) = [paint brush]>
 scripts
else
 if <(tool) = [pencil]>
  scripts
 else
  etc.
 end
end

and for the last one, just add the scripts into the else. smile

^this. If you do this:

if <[483]=(variable)> 
scripts
end
if <not <[483]=(variable)>
scripts
end

It might confuse the program. Try using the script Gravitation mentioned.

Was my script just too long?
