How to check to see if Switch Case is true.

Question

Hey guys

I'm using enums + switch statements.

How can I check to see which case is currently true.

Like I wan't to say something like this:

if (case NanoStage1States.Level1 == true) { do this. }

I know I can just put it inside the switch statements but I don't think I can do that with this:

 void OnGUI() {
 
 
         pressed = GUILayout.Toggle(pressed, "Toggle me !", "Button");
         Debug.Log(pressed);
     }

I'm probably making this confusing. My Question is...how can I make the toggle button appear only when I am in NanoStage1States.Level1?

Thanks!

An enum is a data type, so you have to have a variable of that type.

 NanoStage1States currentState;

At some point you must set the value of the currentState variable...

 currentState = NanoStage1States.Level1;

If you want to compare the variable to a state, you just use the comparison operator == like you would any other comparison...

 if (currentState == NanoStage1States.Level1)
 {
   // do something, such as calling GUILayout.Toggle
 }
