Goto command

Rich Does anyone know exactly how the Goto command works in AGI? I know that this command exists but I don't see any listing of it or its syntax in the AGI Help file. I don't need this command to make my game work, but it will immensely help with a sequence I am working on right now.

Thanks!
BI lazy usually goto [label] is a unconditional branch to another position in program flow. It shall not be used, for it breaks the rules of Nassi Shneiderman. *gg*

Hence the third Commandmend of Kerrigan: "Thou Shalt Not Use the Goto!"
Joel I think it's something like:



if (x == 5)
{
goto(MyLabel);
}
else
{
x = 5;
}

MyLabel:

// some code here
goto(MyLabel);
Brian_Provinciano The else is just a structured goto. Goto jumps from one point in the logic to another point. It is just like an if, but non conditional.

if(foo) {
... // if code
} else {
... // else code
}

Is the same as:

if(foo) {
... // if code
goto else_done;
}
... // else code
else_done:


It can be used with if statements to make efficient (but unstructured) code that does funky things.
Rich Thanks, guys.

I had a bit or repeated code and I realized that ultimately a goto statement was the best way to go about it... even though I've tried to program for over a decade without ever using a goto again. Oh well. They're there for a reason.
