Master Conditional Arguments Kill Switch

[johnMoss]

Objective: If a master conditional argument is not met, prevent all other conditional arguments from executing.

I know this is also easily done by simply adding the conditional argument in question to each set of conditional execution statements ( If ).

But for the sake of efficiency I want to make one master conditional IF statement that applies to the entire series of other conditionals. In essence a kill switch for all.

Couldn't find anything on this.

Thanx

Hello JM,

Thanks for your post.

You would likely need to use a bool variable to accomplish this.

If the conditions are true, you could set the bool variable to true in your script. If the conditions are not true, the bool could be set to false in your script.

Then, you could use that bool variable later in the script by checking if its true or false for triggering actions.

Right. That means adding the bool argument though to each conditional IF set... What I'm looking to do is circumvent that by having one single conditional statement up top in the script to allow or deny execution of all. Can or cannot do?

Thanx

Hello JM,

Thanks for your note.

You would likely need to create a condition at the top of the script and flip a bool to true if that condition is true. Then, you could check if the bool is true and place your other conditions in that condition. Otherwise, you would need to add the bool argument to each condition as you noted.

if (condition)
{
myBool = true
}

if (myBool == true)
{
//other conditions here
}

It would be up to you to come up with the custom logic to accomplish this specific goal.

This forum thread will also be open for other community members to share their insights on the topic.
