Is there a better way to do OR/NAND?

[RejectTed]

I'm fiddling around with game mode and have a bit where the I want something to be displayed if two things are true and something else if one or both are false. Right now I have something like:

{if A=true}{if B=true} text 1 {else} text 2 {endif}{esle} text 2 {endif}

I don't really like this. It feels a bit complicated, and I'm kinda worried I'll forget to edit one version of text 2 if I need to make changes. I guess writing the same text twice just goes against my (admittedly limited) programming experience. Is there a better way? I know if you're doing something similar with chapters you can use link chapters to avoid duplicate chapters.

There is currently no better solution.

I second that.

Well, that approach can also be used to precalculate the value before opening the chapter.
So you would need 4 link chapters per chapter option that leads to the chapter.

{if precalculated = true} text 1 {else} text 2 {endif}


If the boolean values of both variables can only be switched (true to false and false to true,) you could also use a numerical variable to precalculate the option.
(This approach doesn't need any additional chapters.)
If either of the variables is switched from false to true, additionally add the score change
precalculated + 1
If either of the variables is switched from true to false, additionally add the score change
precalculated - 1

{if precalculated > 1} text 1 {else} text 2 {endif}

Yeah, I figured there wasn't. Thanks though.

These are a bit too much work for the current job, but I'll keep them in mindfor the future.
