Hi, Ola!
The netlogo way to emulate a select or switch statement is to use a nested if-else structure.
For example:
if-else option1 [ action1 ] [
if-else option2 [ action2 ] [
if-else option3 [ action3 ] [
; otherwise-action ;
]]] ; ; ;
; ; ;
To preserve the formatting and clarity of the structure, it's good to use only short commands, or procedure calls as the action, but that is a code-style issue, not a code-running issue.
Note that there will always be one right square bracket at the end for each if-else, so, three options = three brackets.
Note that even if there is no "otherwise-action", the last if-else can remain an if-else, there's no need to break the symmetry and use IF instead.
Hope this helps,
~~James
