| | Checks if the given parameter matches any [[case]]. If so, the code block of that case will be executed. After that the switch ends so no further cases will be checked.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| If a case has no code block, the code of the next case will automatically be executed. This makes it possible to formulate a logical '''"or"''' for cases which otherwise would contain the exact same code. (See example 4 below)<br>
| |
| The [[default]] block will '''only''' be executed if no case matches, no matter at which position inside the switch it is. It is not a case, and will '''never''' be entered by fallthrough.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''switch'' returns whatever the return value of the executed case block is. If the condition is not matched by any case and there is no default, it returns [[true]]. |= Description

| Be careful of the parenthesis around the variable you're switching on. If you accidentally use braces instead (ex: switch {_myVar} do{...), it won't error, but will always return default.<br>

| To be safe about the case sensitivity issue, use the [[toLower]] or [[toUpper]] command to force all strings to a certain case.

| It's possible to use [[Boolean]] value as a switch and [[Code]] as case. One thing to take special care in such case is that code must be in parentheses. Example:
| |
| <code>
| |
| [[switch]] ([[true]]) [[do]]
| |
| {
| |
| [[case]] (_boolVar): {someCode};
| |
| [[case]] (unit1 [[distance]] unit2 > 5): {someCode};
| |
| };

| BEWARE:
| |
| <br>Sometimes, and I'm unsure why, numbers are treated differently (A2OA 1.63) with quote-wraps that worked
| |
| <br>in earlier code now not working unless quote-wraps are removed, with otherwise identical code.
| |
| <br><code>
| |
| _number1 = (floor random 10)
| |
| switch (_number1) do
| |
| {
| |
| case "0":
