switch statements

[DRedshot]

I just read a thread here. I decided to make a new thread because his question has already been answered.

basically, ive never used switch before, because ive never known how to use it, until now. But apparantly 'case' only works with integers, so i couldnt do for example: case asEntity:

but my question is: could i do this with a switch command

Code: (Select All)

void RandomFunction()
{
AddTimer("1" , 1.0f , "Timer");
AddTimer("2" , 2.0f , "Timer");
AddTimer("3" , 3.0f , "Timer");
AddTimer("4" , 4.0f , "Timer");
}
void Timer(string &in asTimer)
{
switch(asTimer){
case 1:
// Do Stuff
break;
case 2:
// Do More Stuff
break;
case 3:
// Do Other Stuff
break;
case 4:
// Do Funky Stuff
break;
}
}

Or would i have to declare asTimer as an integer?
it would make timers much less boring - thanks!
