What exactly does Nested IF mean?

[lonewolf_kai]

I just read that the number of nested IF statements used in a script is limited to 10. What exactly does Nested IF mean? I think I might've messed up my scripts. Here's and example of how mine looks:

Begin Gamemod

     If (VariableA == 1)

          NPC1.enable

     Elseif (VariableA == 2)

          NPC2.enable

     Elseif (VariableA == 3)

          NPC3.enable

     Elseif (VariableA == 4)

          NPC4.enable


     ..... all the way through


     Elseif (VariableA == 30)

          NPC30.enable

     Endif


End

I basically have 1 If and 29 ElseIf. Would I have a problem here?

No, that's fine. A nested if is "an if within an if", e.g.

if (something)

   if (somethineelse)

      if (yetanotherthing)

         ...

      endif

   endif

endif

It's one of them. This example is three deep; you can imagine that 10 deep would be getting pretty unreadable! As far as I'm aware, there's no (practical) limit to elseifs.

Yeah, everything vometia said is accurate.

whew. I got real worried about it when I read about that. I thought maybe what I had set up could constitute a nested If script. Thanks again guys.
