Hey guys,

So I just learnt about these switch statements. I’m wondering if I can have it function like an If statement whereby I can say " If THIS && THAT are selected"

so where it says switch (ColorState), can I have something like Switch (ColorState && UsageState)?

{
switch ( ColorState )
{
case ColorStates.Mana:; case
Manaliquidpriv.sprite = Resources.Load(“PotionSprites/3”);
break;

	case ColorStates.Health:
		Manaliquidpriv.sprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("PotionSprites/3_red");
		break;
		
	case ColorStates.Energy:
		Manaliquidpriv.sprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("PotionSprites/3_red_small");
		break;
		
	case ColorStates.Spell:
		Manaliquidpriv.sprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("PotionSprites/3");
		break;
		
	}

Yes. If you add the [FlagsAttribute] to your enum, you can “add”, or OR, enums together to produce combinations. For example:

[FlagsAttribute]
public enum ColorStates
{
None = 0,
Mana = 1, 
Health = 2,
Energy = 4,
Spell = 8
}

Notice that the values are incremented by powers of 2. ( 2^0, 2^1, 2^2 etc.)

The you can use the switch statement like such:

switch (ColorState)
{
    case ColorStates.Mana | ColorStates.Health:
    // do something for Mana and Health ...
    break;

    case ColorStates.Energy | ColorStates.Spell:
    // do something else for Energy and Spell ...
    break;

    case ColorStates.Mana:
    // do something just for Mana ...
    break;

    case ColorStates.Health:
    // do something else just for Health ...
    break;
}

Enums are explained in detail at MSDN.
