using a if statesman in properties section

[GKonheiser]

Is there any reason why I shouldn't use an if statement in the Properties section of a ninja script. I only need to declare additional public variables if a second contract is switch on in the strategy properties so I wanted to use a bool to disable adding them if the second contract is off. Would that work?

Hello GKonheiser,

Thank you for your note.

If statements must be used inside a method. This is a conditional statement that is tested inside a method.

You can set a OnStartUp() if statement to essentially turn off or set those variables to different values that won't interfere with your script.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Can I declare variables for the first time in OnStartUp

Depends on which scope they should have for you script, if you want them to have global scope best would be declaring outside top of the class basically.
