MMF2 - OR Which one is it???

[droberson]

This is a recommendation for MMF2. Is there a way in the future to change the OR (logical) and OR (filtered) so you can tell which is which in your editor.

Once it is added and if you forget which you added they look the same and you forget what the code is saying. Could one be blue and the other red for example? "OR" could one say ORL and the other ORF "OR" could one just be called CASE for the filtered one and OR for the logical one????

OR just forget I asked, but which OR did I use logical or filtered.

You're kidding right? It does tell you.

It says 'OR' for filtered, and 'OR (logical)' for logical

[droberson]

Yes when you add it. But after adding it imagine now you are looking at the code 1 year later trying to remember why you used it. You point at it but nothing shows up to tell you if it is a logical or filtered.

I believe it is not wise having two different commands with the same name. I believe the filtered OR works the same as a commonly know CASE statement. So I would suggest the Filtered OR be renamed to CASE and let the logical OR remain.

It would also be nice to have an OTHERWISE command added also example using case idea:

Case this option is true - do this
case this option is true - do this
Otherwise - do this

LazyCoder is right, it displays "OR" and "OR (logical)" in the event editor, not only when you add it.

Maybe he want to have the "OR" to be "OR (filtered)" and keep "OR (logical)" as it. :crazy:

But it's not very important I think...

To me it appears that he have only looked at the filtered OR's in the event editor, and noticed that they only say OR, and assumed that the logical OR's looks the same way, without really testing if they do.

They look different though, even if you go back to your project after a year, the logical OR's will say OR (logical), and your filtered OR's will only say OR.

By the way, I have to ask another thing. Which OR is the fastest OR?

I still haven't really found a place i've needed to use OR, but i'm quite embarassed to ask: what is the difference between filtered and logical?

[Dynasoft]

Using the example:
"A" is visible
OR
"B" is visible
-Hide "A"
-Hide "B"
(not particularly useful I know)
Filtered is the same as these two events:
"A" is visible
-Hide "A"
"B" is visible
-Hide "B"
Logical is the same as these two:
"A" is visible
-Hide "A"
-Hide "B"
"B" is visible
-Hide "A"
-Hide "B"

Oh right! Thanks!

Well, I just tried it again. In the Event list editor I clicked on Condition and added Is button click? then I insert an OR and I see it listed as filter and logical. Then I inserted another Is button2 clicked.

Now in pointing at the OR in the event list editor nothing tell me if it is logical or filtered. I switched to the event editor and I get the same thing. I see the condition saying button1 or button2 but if I point at the OR there is nothing that tells me if it is logical or filtered.
