TOS Script - error? what am i doing wrong?

May 3rd, 2013, 01:21 AM

To my TOS wiz's, Id appreciate any help you may offer.

The following code is giving me an error "Invalid state: if at 2:1"

def b = (condition here...) ;
if (b = 0) {
b = 1;
}

It is not liking my if statement (without an else). Im basically trying to say, if b = 0, then make it a 1 instead, or else leave it alone as b.

Thanks to anyone who may help.

Hi, there's no branching if-then-else statement by itself. It's usually a contained expression in other statements. Here's what should work.

def i = ( condition );
def b = if (i == 0) then 1 else i;

That worked excellent. Thank you @Cloudy !
