Script Efficiency & Readability

[BialyDran]

Any idea's how to make this piece of code more efficient and / or robust? 

 

function ChooseAnswers()
	if ( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[1][2] ) then
		wayOne()
	elseif ( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[1][3]) then
		wayTwo()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[1][4]) then
		wayThree()	
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[1][5]) then
		wayFour()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[2][2]) then
			way1Option1()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[3][2]) then
			way2Option1()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[3][3][2]) then
			way2Option1Answer1()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[3][4]) then
			way2Option2()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[3][5][2]) then
			way2Option1Answer2()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[4][2]) then
			way3Option1()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[5][2]) then
			way4Option1()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[5][3][2]) then
			way4Option1Answer1()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[5][4]) then
			way4Option2()
	elseif( guiGetText ( Option[i] ) == npcAnswers[5][5][2]) then
			way4Option2Answer1()
	else
		outputChatBox("Unknown error. Please report it to admin ASAP.")
	end
end

function wayOne() 
  --
end
function way1Option1() 
  --
end
function wayTwo()
	--
end
function way2Option1()
	--
end
function way2Option2()
	--
end
function way2Option1Answer1()
	--
end
function way2Option1Answer2()
	--
end
function wayThree()
	-
end
function way3Option1()
--
end
function wayFour()
	--
end
function way4Option1()
	--
end
function way4Option1Answer1()
	--
end
function way4Option2()
	--
end
function way4Option2Answer1()
  --
 end

 

 

Maybe by using CASE? Idk help plz

[quindo]

Maybe something like that?
 

local AnswerToFunction = {
	npcAnswers[1][2] = wayOne,
	npcAnswers[1][3] = wayTwo,
	npcAnswers[1][4] = wayThree,
	npcAnswers[1][5] = wayFour,
	npcAnswers[2][2] = way1Option1,
	npcAnswers[3][2] = way2Option1,
	npcAnswers[3][3][2] = way2Option1Answer1,
	npcAnswers[3][4] = way2Option2,
	npcAnswers[3][5][2] = way2Option1Answer2,
	npcAnswers[4][2] = way3Option1,
	npcAnswers[5][2] = way4Option1,
	npcAnswers[5][3][2] = way4Option1Answer1,
	npcAnswers[5][4] = way4Option2,
	npcAnswers[5][5][2] = way4Option2Answer1,
}

function ChooseAnswers()
	local guiText = guiGetText( Option[i] )
	local answerFunc = AnswerToFunction[guiText]
	if answerFunc then
		answerFunc()
	else
		outputChatBox("Unknown error. Please report it to admin ASAP.")
	end
end
