What am i missing on IF statements?

[Finaltwist]

So...

        public virtual void NewZombie( Mobile from, Zombiex zomb )
        {

                BaseCreature mob = (BaseCreature)from;

works perfect, but

        public virtual void NewZombie( Mobile from, Zombiex zomb )
        {

            if ( from is BaseCreature )
                BaseCreature mob = (BaseCreature)from;
            
            else if ( from is PlayerMobile )
                PlayerMobile mob = (PlayerMobile)from;
            else return;

throws a "embedded statement cannot be a declaration" error from the
BaseCreature mob = (BaseCreature)from;
PlayerMobile mob = (PlayerMobile)from;
lines...

i tried with { } after the if/else statements but then it just ignored what was in the {}... ?

I would also need to look at the full method to know why you even want to cast it to basecreature or playermobile

Hi PyrO. We are here:

Zombiex, Unleash the Zombie Apocalypse

Finaltwist submitted a new resource: Zombiex, Unleash the Zombie Apocalypse - zombies runuo mobiles This is a script i unearthed from an old server i used to run.. spawn a zombiex and it will attack anything that isn't already dead. On death, the mobile becomes infected, and itself turns into...

Most of this is fixed by using Mobile but some other issues are coming out of the woodwork.

Basecreature has an onbeforedeath that links to newzomb
playermobile has an onbeforedeath that link to newzomb.

newzomb uses the from (from either of those) to create a new zombie based on the from.

there was a crash because it used to be
BaseCreature mob = (BaseCreature)from;

so when a player died and was sent from playermobile ,the script crashed because the from was a playermobile, not a basecreature.
so now we just need to add an if check. if its a playermobile, cast it as a playermobile, if its a basecreature, cast it as a basecreature... but then im not doing the if correctly it seems ?

updated the package in your main thread

and well every time you go into an if? It basically has a scope of an higher level, it can access the one thats lower. So you made an if that defines a variable that is only valid for said if. That was the issue.
