i'll make it easier for others to read:
(use [ code ] and [ /code ])
Code:
//zoom in function
function zoom_scope()
{
	scope_on = (scope_on == off);
	var temp_cam;
	temp_cam.x = camera.x;
	temp_cam.y = camera.y;
	temp_cam.z = camera.z;
	while(scope_on == 1)
	{
		camera.x = temp_cam.x + 50;

	}
	camera.x = temp_cam.x;
}

//PANEL SCRIPT

var x = 4;
bmap scope <"scope.bmp">;
bmap the_panel <"panel.bmp">;
font font1 = "font1_blue.pcx",12,16; // named the font digi_font
panel game_panel
{
	//tried to do condition but did not compile
	if(scope_on == on)
	{
		bmap = scope;

	}
	else
	{

		bmap = the_panel;
		flags = visible, overlay;
		//player.ammo = clip_ammo[current_weapon];
		digits = 470,579,3,font1,1,player.health;
		digits = 15,579,3,font1,1,player.battery;
		digits = 730,579,3,font1,1, player.ammo;
		digits = 246,579,3,font1,1,player.armor;
	}
}

I also recommend that this be moved to the c-script(at least i think it's c-script..) thread. Doesn't have much to do with the editors!smile
