How can i make this IF statement work?

Code:

class WipeCycle:
def __init__(self):
    self.Title = "WypeCycle"
    self.Description = "This example illustrates how to use a basic configuration file"
    self.Author = "NoSharp"
    self.Version = V(1, 0, 0)    def Init(self):
    command.AddChatCommand("WipeChangeNext", self.Plugin, "CWDN")
    command.AddChatCommand("WipeChangeLast", self.Plugin, "CWD")
    command.AddChatCommand("WipeInfo", self.Plugin, "W")     def LoadDefaultConfig(self):
    self.Config = {
        "Date of the next wipe": "DATE",
        "Date of the last wipe": "DATE"
    }
            def CWD(self, player, cmd, args):        #if args[0] != "/" or ".":
        #   rust.SendChatMessage("sorry You have not included a date")
    #else:
    self.Config["Date of the last wipe"] = args[0]
    self.SaveConfig()
    rust.SendChatMessage(player, "you have successfully Changed the Date of last Wipe and is now " + self.Config["Date of the last wipe"])
    rust.SendChatMessage(player, "The Date of the last Wipe is " + self.config["Date of the last wipe"] + "The Date of the Next wipe is " + self.config["Date of the next wipe"])    def CWDN(self, player, cmd, args):        if args:            if args[0] != "/" or "." or "\#" or "," or "|":
            self.Config["Date of the next wipe"] = args[0]
            self.SaveConfig()
            rust.SendChatMessage(player, "you have successfully Changed the Date of next Wipe and is now " + self.Config["Date of the next wipe"])
            rust.SendChatMessage(player, "The Date of the last Wipe is " + self.config["Date of the last wipe"] + "The Date of the Next wipe is " + self.config["Date of the next wipe"])  
    else:
        rust.SendChatMessage("ERROR: PLEASE INPUT A VALID DATE")   
def W(self, player, cmd, args):
    rust.SendChatMessage(player, "The Last Wipe Was " + self.Config["Date of the last wipe"] + " The next Wipe is on " + self.Config["Date of the next wipe"])

 

This will help: complex if statement in python

 

It won't, because that isn't the issue.

Code:

args[0] != "/" or "." or "\#" or "," or "|"

needs to be

Code:

args[0] != "/" or args[0] != "." or args[0] != "\#" or args[0] != "," or args[0] != "|"

this can be rewritten as

Code:

not (args[0] == "/" and args[0] == "." and args[0] == "\#" and args[0] == "," and args[0] == "|")

I still don't think that this is what he's trying to do, though.
The code above is the equivalent of the logical expression
"args[0] does not equal all of {/, ., #, ,, |}", which makes no sense, as args[0] can only be one of these, so the condition will always be true.

 

thanks

 

You probably want the if block to be run either when args[0] is any of these characters or if args[0] isn't any of these characters.
In Python you can write this as

Code:

if args[0] in "/.\#,|":

or

Code:

if args[0] not in "/.\#,|":

accordingly, as long as you don't need to check for many characters (in that case you should use {"/", ".", "\#", ",", "|"} instead of "/.\#,|").

 

well it now returns with nothing on the Player text

 

I was pointing out that you need to compare it everytime, not just once.

 

That stackoverflow post is a question about syntactic sugar for range expressions, though.

 

I didn't read that far into it the nature of it, just wanted to give a pointer towards the correct syntax.

 

so i would be right to put:
if args:

if args[0] not in "/.\#,|":

rust.SendChatMessage("ERROR: PLEASE INPUT A VALID DATE")
else:
self.Config["Date of the next wipe"] = args[0]
self.SaveConfig()
rust.SendChatMessage(player, "you have successfully Changed the Date of next Wipe and is now " + self.Config["Date of the next wipe"] + "The Date of the last Wipe is " + self.config["Date of the last wipe"] + "The Date of the Next wipe is " + self.config["Date of the next wipe"])

 

Depends on what you're trying to do, I guess.
