You are missing ENDIFs

However, for your example, look up SELECT / CASE, it's more suited, and will make your code easier to read.

Take a close look, you're missing an END IF statement.



You'll get used to these little details after you program a while.

Oh, and there's no such command as else if like other languages. So you have to have lots of nested if's:

Like BatVink said, following code would be better as more readable when you start adding more conditions

Thanks guys, now I can actually get somewhere with this! I think I get case and select now, which will make things a WHOLE lot easier, but thanks to everyone for helping.
By the way, Crazy Donut Productions, your code didn't work, and I'm not sure why. Just thought you might want to know.

Thanks again!

He had a "end if" instead of "endif" and needed two more endifs
