Script ignoring if statement conditions?

[DustyPorViva]

You should use this.level.name instead of this.level. While this.level will work, it's actually giving the level object and not a string name of the level. But because of how typecasting in Graal works it can still work in most situations but you can sometimes encounter oddities.

Also, why not just return null or false? Again, typecasting can be a bit weird here but unless "0" is a possible prefix null/boolean would be much more logical.

But some more tidbits of information:

You can use this.level.name.charat(temp.a) instead of substring if you just want a single character and not a substring. Also, you can use this.level.name.pos("_") to find the first instance of string within a string. -1 will be returned if the string is not found(since 0 can be returned if the character is the first character in the string). So you can do something like this, which is much more efficient:

PHP Code:

if (this.item in db_quests.items3) {
  temp.prefix = findPrefix(this.level.name);
  if (temp.prefix == null) {
    echo("Level not found in quest database");
  } else {
    // CODE
  }
} 

function findPrefix(temp.string) {
  temp.pos = temp.string.pos("_");
  if (temp.pos < 0) return null;
  return temp.string.substring(0,temp.pos);
}
