Syntax	/if <formula> {commands} [else {commands}]
Description	This will run all commands between the braces ( {} ) if formula evaluates to something other than 0. Formulas are numeric operations ONLY. You must use MQ2Data string comparison to turn string comparisons into numeric operations (eg. Using .Equal or .NotEqual). You can use && and || freely within formula, which will be evaluated down to a single term before proceeding. Multiple commands may be included within the braces. There is no need to use ${Math.Calc[]} in /if statements, since the formula is automatically converted into numeric operations. Else and else /if can be used to further refine how/which commands are run. This will not work on some older versions of MQ2 (IE Jan 25, 2004) You will get a "Failed to parse /if command"

Examples

/if (${Target.ID}) {
 /call Cast "Complete Healing" gem1
}

If (${Target.ID}) does not evaluate to zero (0), then cast the spell Complete Healing on current target.

/if (${Target.ID}) {
 /echo I have a target
} else {
 /echo No target
}

If (${Target.ID}) does not evaluate to zero (0), then write "I have a target", otherwise write "No target."

/if (${Target.CleanName.Equal[Banker Denton]}) {
 /echo Banker targeted
} else /if (${Target.CleanName.Equal[Ward Toft]}) {
 /echo Ward targeted
} else {
 /echo Banker or Ward not targeted
}

If your current target is Banker Denton, then write "Banker targeted", else If your current target is Ward Toft, write "Ward targeted", otherwise write "Banker or Ward not targeted."
