If <condition>

Description

Conditionally executes the following command, depending on the value of an expression. The condition is run through a math calculator. If the result is zero, the command is skipped; otherwise it is executed. Command blocks may be used, which begin with a { and end with a }, and is treated by control statements such as if it were a single command (i.e. executed or skipped as a whole).

When using characters which have special meaning in LavishScript commands, such as < | and >, enclose the statement in quotes (see Syntax).

 if "2 > 1"

Examples

 if x == 5
 {
   if y == 6
     varset z 17
 }
 else
   varset z 20
