Difference between OR and OR (Logical)

[wizkidweb]

I've been wondering for a really long time. What's the difference between OR and OR (Logical)?

I've always used OR because my java/sql side is familiar with the term.

Not meant to be rude but have you thought about looking at the MMF2 help file? There are good explanations on "Conditions - OR operators"

Yeah I realized that right after I posted.

Score 0 for me, 1 for everyone else.

Might as well lock this thread.

OR will apply the events if either of the events are triggers


Example of OR

+If Alt Value A of 'red' = 1
OR
+If Alt Value A of 'green' = 1
>Destroy Red
>Destroy Green

This will destroy both objects if either event is true.

Example of OR (logical)

+If Alt Value A of 'red' = 1
OR (logical)
+If Alt Value A of 'green' = 1
>Destroy Red
>Destroy Green

This will destroy the object only if it returns true.
So if the red object is true but green isnt, only the red object will be destroyed.

Wrong way round.

"OR" is also known as "OR - Filtered", because it filters the objects it applies the actions to, so in your example it would only destroy one object.

Specifically, for this code:

+If Alt Value A of 'red' = 1
OR
+If Alt Value A of 'green' = 1
>Destroy Red
>Destroy Green

OR (filtered) is equivalent to:

+If Alt Value A of 'red' = 1
>Destroy Red
+If Alt Value A of 'green' = 1
>Destroy Green

And OR (logical) is equivalent to:

+If Alt Value A of 'red' = 1
>Destroy Red
>Destroy Green
+If Alt Value A of 'green' = 1
>Destroy Red
>Destroy Green
