Maybe something similar to this:

Dictionary<string,byte> carToTimerDic = ...
carToTimerDic.add("BFG",15); //I predefine all this

in place of the case i put this:

if (carToTimerDic.ContainKey("BFG"))
return carToTimerDic["BFG"] (MyTimerDefine value)
else
return 0; // or anything you love

the BFG.. is that the carname or just BFG ?

I believe it's the BFG 9000.

... More seriously... I think Greenseed was using BFG as a placeholdfer for other cars.

The first part (as I understand), is him creating an array called "carToTimerDic", and then in each if statement, simply calling the value from the array.

here is a more profiled version


        public static readonly Dictionary<string,byte> carTimerLength = new Dictionary<string,byte>
        {
            {"UF1",5},
            {"XFG",5},
            {"XRG",6},
            {"LX4",6},
            {"RAC",7},
            // and so on

        };
        public byte GetTimerLength(string carPrefix)
        {
            if (carTimerLength.ContainsKey(carPrefix))
                return carTimerLength[carPrefix];
            else
                return 0; // or what ever is your default value
        }

Quote from dougie-lampkin :Lolz I wrote this yonks ago. Real spaghetti code. If I wanted to, several thousand lines could be removed. But I gave up

@Sun: You can't just cut and paste parts of it into other programs, unless you actually know and understand what each part does. Otherwise, this happens...

BTW: He is doing it for the same guy who you did it for
