Hi guys.

i wanted to ask is it possible to to sth like at php

if($pos==true){
echo "true";
}elseif($pos==False){
echo "false";
}elseif(!isset($pos)){
echo "pos is not set";
} 

 
 if FindSymbol(x, y, 'water') then
    if FindSymbol(x, y, 'quest') then
      if FindSymbol(x, y, 'shop') then
      begin
        WriteLn(' true');
      end else
      begin
        WriteLn(' false');
      end;
//how do o do "else if" or sth similar? 

 

Edit: Silly my. probably something like that? or here is any option to do else if sentence?

 
 if FindSymbol(x, y, 'water') then
    if FindSymbol(x, y, 'quest') then
      if FindSymbol(x, y, 'shop') then
      begin
        WriteLn(' true');
      end else
      begin
        if not FindSymbol(x, y, 'water') then
           if not FindSymbol(x, y, 'quest') then
              if  not FindSymbol(x, y, 'shop') then
                begin
                  WriteLn('false');
                end else
                begin
                  WriteLn('third option');
                end;

      end;
//sth like this? or here is something not so deep as in php?

Another Question:

how can I create function / procedure which returns me true or false value.

i imagine something like this. but not sure or it's ok

Procedure returnTrueOrFalse;
begin
if FindSymbol(x, y, 'tree') then
   begin
     return true;
   end else
   begin
     return false;
   end;
end;

Procedure checkWhatIsReturned;
begin
if returnTrueOrFalse then
begin
WriteLn('Returned True');
end else
WriteLN('Returned False');
end;
end;

If what you are trying to do is that it returns true if any of them are found, then do:

if FindSymbolsMulti(TPA, ['water', 'quest', 'shop']) then
  writeln(true)
else
  writeln(false);

Declare the TPA as a TPointArray.
For more advanced usage, you can check Length(TPA) to find out how many symbols are found.

Only a function can return a value (a procedure can however, store the result in param as well):

function returnTrueOrFalse: Boolean;
var
  x,y: Integer;
begin
  Result:= FindSymbol(x, y, 'tree');  //i assign the Result directly to FindSymbol, which returns true if found, and false otherwise
end;

You are right about how to use it, but you dont need a begin and end for 1 action:

if returnTrueOrFalse then
  WriteLn('Returned True') //notice we dont put a semicolon since we are adding else
else
  WriteLN('Returned False');

Although 1 liner function are pretty pointless most of the time, as you can just directly check for FindSymbol in that procedure.

Nin.J.A!
But basically yea, basic pascal wise, you could put:

If (condition) and (condition2) then
(do stuff)
else (do something else)

As said above, you could do that too. To me it is simpler to assign a boolean value as global, and change it during the procedure, so when called, it remains that value.

Thank you guys!
