Well, this should pretty much explain it:

Well I found what my mistake was. I was following this tutorial set

The Monster Hunt 3D Tutorials over here: http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2030&page=3d_tutorial_index

and me following the section over here: http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2030&page=3d_tutorial_3

The tutorial have stated that the if format should be followed as such:

If STATEMENT then CODE EXECUTED IF STATEMENT IS TRUE

but as it turned out, the proper format is:
If STATEMENT
CODE EXECUTED IF STATEMENT IS TRUE
Endif

I don't know if it was a typo or perhaps an older version of the script language but that code gave me an error prior to me fixing the code.

Both the block and inline method work. And if you want to use ELSE, it only works with the block statement which doesn't use THEN. It's not highlighted because it was omitted from the keywords, a minor bug. You can fix this easily by adding THEN into the keyword file.

In your case, THEN expects something to follow it. A REM statement does not count and therefore you'll get an error.

Why shouldn't ELSE work with the inline method?

My guess is that you are using an old version of DBPro or an old editor. The then keyword is properly highlighted for me using U7.7RC7 with the current version of the editor.

It does of course, as you imply.

That's new to me. I could've sworn it didn't work inline before. My mistake.
