GML Inline IF Statement

[William Garrison]

Okay simple questions for your Wednesday Morning...I come from JS and I know how to write up an inline IF statement there but doesn't seem to quite apply to GML.

JS would be

if (A) ? B : C

GML Inline IF?

You can use ternary operators in GMS2, but not in GMS1. The syntax is the same as in javascript, but I want to point out that the code you posted above wouldn't work even in JS, this kind of conditions do not use the if operator. Therefore the above should be:

A ? B : C;

Awesome, thank you! Im still missing something I think... It gives me the red x.

randSp <= 0 ? image_speed = .5 : image_speed = 1

Not sure if that would work, I generally use it like this:

image_speed = randSp <= 0 ? .5 : 1

EDIT: can confirm that your code throws an error, I actually expected it to work honestly
