What's different in SQF

  • Every command has to end with semicolon.
  • SQF does not have a goto command anymore.
  • SQF commands can span several lines if they are enclosed in brackets.
  • SQF can return a variable, where SQS cannot.

Multi-conditional command

[edit]

Cycle

SQS 
#loop
 COMMAND
 ~DELAY
?CONDITION: goto "LOOP"


SQF 
while {CONDITION} do {
 COMMAND;
 sleep DELAY;
};

Cycle with step

SQS 
_n = 0
#LOOP
 COMMAND
 _n = _n + 1;
?_n < COUNT: goto "LOOP"


SQF 
for [{_n = 0},{_n <= COUNT},{_n = _n+1}] do {
 COMMAND;
};

Structured conditional command

SQS 
?VARIABLE == VALUE_1: goto "SKIP_1"
?VARIABLE == VALUE_2: goto "SKIP_2"
 DEFAULT COMMAND
 goto "END"
#SKIP_1
 COMMAND_1
 goto "END"
#SKIP_2
 COMMAND_2
#END


SQF 
switch (VARIABLE) do {
 case VALUE_1: {COMMAND_1};
 case VALUE_2: {COMMAND_2};
 default {DEFAULT_COMMAND};
};
