Is there syntax to allow multiple expressions in the same script?

Question

I'm working a Star Trek game and am using a "say" command for the Turblolift. Everything is working fine, but I worry I'm facing a situation where I'll need to create a new script for every possible spelling or capitalization (We're using the web GUI for this whole project and won't be copy/pasting any code).

If I want the commands for "Deck 6, deck 6, Engineering, engineering" to all send the player to the same location, is there syntax I can use to include it all on one line? Apologies if the answer is in the tutorials; everything I've found that seems relevant results in errors.

Answer 1

'game' Game Object -> 'whatever the tab' Tab -> find the checkbox for ~ 'allow the period to separate commands' and have it be checked in, of course.

I think this will do what you want, but I'm not sure.

here's some code stuff (which I know you don't want), but here it is (as I don't know the GUI~Editor that well):

for dealing with caps vs non-caps:

http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/functions/string/lcase.html
http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/functions/string/capfirst.html

and another method for multiple conditions:

if (text = "deck_1" or text = "bridge_1" or text = "quarters_1") {
  // blah scripts
} else if (xxx blah xxx) {
  // blah scripts
} else {
  // blah scripts
}

you can use 'and' too, but you need to understand these 'bitwise' (or english grammer) meanings of: 'and', 'or', and 'exclusive or'

Thank you! Using the second method, its working great. And thanks for the links, I am interested, I just need to stick with the GUI for now.
