If Else in GDScript

Branching with if and else in GDScript is straightforward.

func _ready():
    # Here's a basic example.
    if 7 % 2 == 0:
        print("7 is even")
    else:
        print("7 is odd")

    # You can have an `if` statement without an else.
    if 8 % 4 == 0:
        print("8 is divisible by 4")

    # Logical operators like `and` and `or` are often
    # useful in conditions.
    if 8 % 2 == 0 or 7 % 2 == 0:
        print("either 8 or 7 are even")

    # A variable can be declared and initialized before the condition;
    # this variable will be available in the current and all subsequent branches.
    var num = 9
    if num < 0:
        print(str(num) + " is negative")
    elif num < 10:
        print(str(num) + " has 1 digit")
    else:
        print(str(num) + " has multiple digits")

Note that you don’t need parentheses around conditions in GDScript, but the colon : at the end of the condition and proper indentation are required.

To run this script in Godot:

Create a new script and paste this code into the _ready() function.
Attach the script to a node in your scene.
Run the scene.

The output will be:

7 is odd
8 is divisible by 4
either 8 or 7 are even
9 has 1 digit

In GDScript, there is no ternary operator like in some other languages. You’ll need to use a full if statement even for basic conditions.
