Hello everyone, long time viewer first time poster.

I am attempting to write a piece of code which will do the following.

Step One: Make a clickable area preferably a circle.
Step Two: Upon user click, within the circle, it will generate a random number between 1 - 3 (if player clicks outside circle nothing happens)
Step Three: Using a nesting if statement assign an action to each random number generated.

Sadly the nesting if statements are giving me a serious migraine. Is anyone able to assist?

Thanks in advance...

Alex

Without seeing any code, it is difficult to determine what you are doing wrong. If you are trying to pick a different action based on the random selection, you should use one of the following structures.

Alternatively, you can use Select/Case

The nice thing about Select/Case is that you can combine results. So if choice 1 and 3 have the same outcome, you can do
Case 1, 3
DoSomething()
EndCase

yes, its very helpful, I also like you can fold case sections, unfolded if-else-endif make messy code and hurt my eyes! lol

You can alternatively structure the options in Types and iterate beween them. This avoids excessive conditionals.
