Switch / Case in lua

[MasterTobi]

hey hey

in c++ or delphi , i can write

switch(variable)
{
case 1: blalbla;exit
case 2: blalbla;exit
case 3: blalbla;exit
.....
}

it gives such a thing also in lua ?

There is no switch in Lua. You have to use if, elseif and else statements instead.

Technically, you can also assign anonymous functions to a table and call it with your "switch" value as an index.

However, depending on how many possibilities there are, you may be better off with simple if/elseif/else constructs as 50p says. if there are only 4-5 possibilities, a table with functions would be kinda overkill.
