Code:
                        switch(usr.Feud_Resolve_L)
                            if(0||1)
                                src << Speak("I don't want to talk!  That Fijj is a big meanie!")
                                usr.Feud_Resolve_L = 1
                            else if(2||3)
                                src << Speak("Fijj wants an apology?  Well he's not getting one until he gives me my favorite <B>rock</B> back!")
                                usr.Feud_Resolve_L = 3


Problem description:

When I use switch(), and have if(something) followed by else if(something||something), it goes to the else if(), even though it should be picking the first if(). This never happens if I do if(variable == something), etc. and forgo the switch(). What am I doing wrong?

|| and && don't work the same in a switch() as they do in a normal conditional. You can use commas and the 'to' operator:
switch(something)
    if(0,1)
       // Do something
    if(2,3)
       // Do someting else
    if(4 to 6)
       // Do something else
    else
       // All failed.

Brilliant. My only regret is not knowing about this sooner!
