Event System like RPG Maker?

I had been making an event system, things are fine, my code work fine, but now i stuck on a conceptual ideahow would i implement the conditional branch dynamically?I cant seem to find a good way to code it that make use efficiently of space, and having multiple if at once So far, the best thing that i could come up with was to have an int* ConditionBranch[somenumber] , which when checked, if it return a value that isnt zero, it will point to a Condition (assuming a class Condition that was declared as Condition myCondition[somenumber]). But, if i do it like that, then there would only be 1 if, (because it only check for 1 thing at a time). I cant figure out a way to code it so that it allow an else statement, else if statement any help would be appreciated.

If you're just looking to script behavior why not just embed a scripting language?

Ruby is a bit of a pain in the ass to embed, but others, such as Lua, can be pretty straightforward.

I think I still have a Ruby embed at home in my archives though, so if you're interested I can upload it for you.

void hurrrrrrrr() {__asm sub [ebp+4],5;}

There are ten kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

This, literally.

If you want conditional branches and event behavior like RMXP you're either gonna end up copying most of their convuluted code to basically recreate a scripting system. You would probably fare way better just embedding an actual scripting language and using that. Faster, more powerful, more to the point.

To be honest I have no knowledge of embedding scripting engine or doing script.

So im just doing whatever i can do for now

If you can write C++ then you should have no trouble picking up a scripting language. Scripting languages are designed with the goal of making it quick and easy to write and change high level code. Lua is a good place to start.
