What's the correct way to use if statements in ArmA 2 scripts? (ExtraRC specific)

[DY357LX]

So after installing the - I got thinking about what else I could add right-click menus to.

 

I decided that in order to test a few things, I'd make it so that only Admins could right-click that item.

 

I've modded the extra_rc.hpp file and think this looks right... mostly.

class ExtraRc 
{
    class ItemBloodbag 
	{
        class Use 
		{
            text = "Use Bloodbag";
            script = "execVM 'custom\SelfBB.sqf'";
        };
    };
	if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["ADMINUID1","ADMINUID2"]) then
	{
		class FoodSteakCooked
		{
			class Use
			{
				text = "Script 1 Test.";
				script = "execVM 'custom\customScript1.sqf'";		
			};
		};
	};
};

However, I'm a little concerned that's there's no "else" or "exit with".

I know that in other programming languages you don't always need those but the ArmA 2 Community/Dev Wiki isn't exactly clear on that.

 

Finally, is there a way to add right-click to a key? Checking for "ItemKeyGreen" etc doesn't seem like it would work due to the random 3/4 digits

after the item/class name.

Is there a wildcard type check the ArmA 2 engine lets us use? i.e ItemKeyGreen*

I don't believe you can do it from the .hpp.

 

You would do it at the beginning of the script you are trying to add.

hpp files are Config files and need a certain formatting, or else they will fail. They aren't the same as SQF files.

@TheVampire -

Interesting. Thank you for the info.

Using a

if !(admin in adminlist) exitWith {};

at the top of the script should work fine for what you want, just make it an odd item to try to right click on.
