Instead of coding: if Costume # = 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 and if Variable = 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6

I want to code if Costume # = 1 through 6 and if Variable = 1 through 6.

Create a list containing the range of values and check if the list contains the value.

OR check if value > x and < y where x=minimum-1 and y=maximum+1.

OR check NOT (value < min or value > max)

I am unsure of how this would work because the list would go up to 24 for both of them and not all of the costume #'s should be compatible with the variable.

So go for the list option where you can omit some of the range. But what are you actually trying to do? If, for example, you have a set of costumes for a certain part of the game can you start those costume names with a specific character - eg jumping costumes start with a ‘j’.

I answered the question you asked. You then added the possibility that some numbers might be missing. Giving more detail in the first place would have saved us both time!

You can use this.

if <not <<<(costume #) < (1)> or <(costume #) > (6)>> or <<(Variable) < (1)> or <(Variable) > (6)>>>> then

I originally started with this code:

if <<<not <(costume #) < (1)>> and <not <(costume #) > (6)>>> and <<not <(Variable) < (1)>> and <not <(Variable) > (6)>>>> then

Note that <not <(x) < (y)>> is the same as <(x) ≥ (y)>. I then used some simple boolean algebra to simplify it.
<<not <x>> and <not <y>>> is the same as <not <<x> or <y>>>
so I did that 3 times to get the final result.

Hope this helps!

You can emulate a “switch” statement with “broadcast”:

Thanks! This helped a lot!
