Formatting

[Python523]

What do you people see as the correct way to format a script?
I personally see it this way:

1 line:
if(playerenters) setcharprop #c,hi;

>1 lines:

NPC Code:

---

if(created||timeout){

  i++;

  setcharprop #c,#v(i);

  timeout = .05;

}

---

What about you people? Maybe using correct formatting shouldn't be a rule but maybe encouraged to be used more often? I personally find it annoying to see scripts that aren't formatted that way =/

Ah, I think you're wrong, but i don't care. Correct is in the eye of the beholder x.X Here is what I do, and I find it QUITE easy to read and simple enough:

NPC Code:

---

if (created)

{ action 1;}



if (created)

{ action 1;

   action 2;

   action 3;

}

---

I think that it looks a bit more confusing when you have the opening { on the same line as the if statement. If you have a long if statement it gets harder to read =/

They teach you to seperate cold blocks from the conditional statements... Personally I find that quite confusing to do

NPC Code:

---

if(pie)

{

  blah;

  bahhiho;

}

---

I do

NPC Code:

---

if(only_one_command) do something like this;



and



if(more_than_one_command) {

  do;

  stuff;

  like;

  this;

}

NPC Code:

---

if (something){

  this;

  because; 

  i_find;

  it;

  neater/easier to read;

}

I prefer the "graal style" like what falcor, python, and torankusu did, but it doesn't make much difference as long as it is indented properly so I can read it.

i did indent, but I didn't use [code] so it didn't show.

I wasn't refering to you personally.

I wasn't refering to you personally.

I figured I'd fix it anyway.

that way

[screen_name]

I personally use this style:

NPC Code:

---

if (blabla) {

  commandhere;

}

---

Even if it is only one command, I use { }'s.

[bigkow44]

NPC Code:

---

if (1action) {command;} 

else

if (>1action) {

Command1;

Pie;

}

LOL, I seem to be the only one who doesn't put the { on the statement =/ Oh well, mine is still easy to read due to I indent. Regardless if there is only one command, I almost ALWAYS try and put in { and } so that in case I need to edit it l8er I won't have to add them.
