Desperate Wish: IF, THEN, ELSE IF, ELSE options in Mission Editor

[TEMPEST.114]

At the moment it's a huge Flag table PITA to get what should have been in from the first place - and IF THEN, ELSEIF, ELSE statement.

Could this please get considered asap?

Anytime you wanna get into logic like that with triggers it will always results in using a bunch of flags. Would need a trigger for each action anyway. It can be accomplished relatively easily via the lua predicate or do script using a lua statement. 

if trigger.misc.getUserFlag("whatever") > 0 then
	trigger.action.setUserFlag("action1", true)
elseif trigger.misc.getUserFlag("something") > 0 then
    trigger.action.setUserFlag("action2", true)
else
    trigger.action.setUserFlag("action3", true)
end

Yeah, I asked for this before I learnt LUA and scripting (still learning - trying to work out how to create edit waypoints in scripting is a freakin' nightmare).

I still think it you're primary focus is a GUI mission editor then it should cope with this type of thing without forcing people to learn lua/scripting.
