SQS to SQF conversion

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.

Replacing

Comment

SQS

; This is a comment

SQF

// This is single-line comment /* This is multiline comment */ comment "And this is a comment working both in SQS and SQF";

Condition

SQS

@CONDITION

SQF

waitUntil {CONDITION};

Delay

SQS

~DELAY

SQF

sleep DELAY;

Conditional command

SQS

?CONDITION: COMMAND

SQF

if (CONDITION) then {COMMAND};

Multi-conditional command

SQS

?CONDITION: goto "SKIP" COMMAND_2 goto "END" #SKIP COMMAND_1 #END

SQF

if (CONDITION) then {COMMAND_1} else {COMMAND_2};

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}; };

Exiting

SQS

?CONDITION: goto "Exit" COMMAND_1 #Exit COMMAND_2 exit

SQF

if (CONDITION) exitWith { COMMAND_2; }; COMMAND_1;
