If Then Blocks

If Then Blocks

This tutorial covers how to use if/else blocks to make your robot check a condition and decide which blocks to run. By the end, you’ll know how to set up a condition and control what happens when it’s true or false.

Drag a Boolean block into the empty condition slot in the if then branch.

All Boolean blocks are hexagon-shaped and have a question mark in their name, such as the controller pressed? block.

If the condition is true, the blocks inside the if then branch will run.

If the condition is false, the blocks inside the else branch will run.

An if/else block only checks its condition once. If you want the condition to be checked repeatedly, put the if/else block inside a looping block, like forever.

An if/else block nested inside a forever block.

si <¿botón [R ▲ v] del Control presionado?> entonces
conducir [adelante v]
si no
detener conducción

The if block is only the if then branch. If the condition isn’t true, nothing will happen.

The if block.

si <¿botón [R ▲ v] del Control presionado?> entonces
conducir [adelante v]
fin

The if / else if / else block can be used to test multiple conditions one after another. It can be expanded to test as many conditions as needed.

An if/else if/else block, testing all three Brain buttons.

si <¿botón [▲ v] del Brain presionado?> entonces
girar [izquierda v] por (90) grados ▶
si no, si <¿botón [▼ v] del Brain presionado?> entonces
girar [derecha v] por (90) grados ▶
si no, si <¿botón [Verificar v] del Brain presionado?> entonces
detener conducción
si no
conducir [adelante v]
fin
