ZScript - Accept strings for switch blocks

[kevansevans]

As the title says, allow switch blocks to accept strings.

Code: Select all

switch (_string)
{
   case "cat" :
      //Do cat thing
      break;
   case "dog" :
      //do dog thing
      break;
}

It's not what you're requesting but it might help you to know that (G)ZDoom's internal Name type (e.g. damage types) can be used as switch case labels, as they represent integers internally. Some fiddling to convert a String into a Name might do what you are looking for.
