Switch..case statement???

from what i understand zscript is basically the C language with built in functions, so why does it not seem to understand a switch statement?

example of code i wrote:

Code:

---


switch (best_dir)
 {
  case 1:
  for (int n = 1 ; n<16 ; n+=4)
  {
  this_ffc->y-=4
  Waitframe();
  }
  break;
  case 2:
  for (int n = 1 ; n<16 ; n+=4)
  {
  this_ffc->x-=4
  Waitframe();
  }
  break;
  case 3:
  for (int n = 1 ; n<16 ; n+=4)
  {
  this_ffc->y+=4
  Waitframe();
  }
  break;
  case 4:
  for (int n = 1 ; n<16 ; n+=4)
  {
  this_ffc->x+=4
  Waitframe();
  }
  break;
 }

Am i useing this wrong or is it not possible to use switch
(or is it select..case, i always get confused when useing different languages :rolleyes: )

Because I haven't implemented it yet.

Switch is very nasty to implement in a compiler, as it's complex both in terms of syntax and semantics, and so didn't make ZScript's first cut. Which is not to say I won't get around to it in the future.
