Rouge Endif's and damage Control?

[scarycave]

I've begun working on a pre-existing mod to make the encounter more "Climatic", but a problem I'm having is that everytime I add a new endif statement the code goes wonky. I've dealt with it before, and I think it had something to do with a rouge Endif. The tool doesn't bring up any message about extra endifs, so it becomes a bit trouble some at times. Does anyone have any tips to help keep track of endifs?

Construction Set Extender *may* have something to help here, it's certainly helpful for modding in a multitude of other ways. Using an external editor such as Notepad++ with syntax highlighting (I can't remember where I got the TES syntax file from unfortunately) may help also.

A pretty basic straight-forward approach to getting opening and closing of so-called code 'brackets' right is proper "indentation".

 

Begin
   If
       ; some code
   ElseIf
       ; some code
   ElseIf
       ; some code
   Else
       If
           ; some code
       ElseIf
           ; some code
       Else
           ; some code
       EndIf
   EndIf
   EndIf ; <- that one just sticks out like a red light
End

 

By properly indenting your code lines for example I for one will be able to quickly spot any bogus or missing EndIf in any code you post here.
