Short time user and first time poster here. I've some programming experience, mostly making VBA scripts to manipulate Excel worksheets and some php scripting.
I've been wrestling with the scripting languages for a few days but I cannot get it to de what I want. let me explain what I want.
I have al set of 10 card fields which may or may not be filled. The fields are displayed top to bottom en filled topped to bottom. I have a card field, say LastData, that contains the number of the last filled card field.
I want to only display the first few card fields, dependent on LastData, and I want to create a box around the displayed fields.
Now, the last part is pretty easy, I can make the box height dependent on LastDate by using a formula based on LastDate value.
Second I want to skip the fields that are empty, againd depending on LastDate, and some related fields. But anything I try gives me the "Unexpected key" error. I tried things like
{if Lastdata <= x then FieldX: <card fields> else nil}
and
FieldX {if LastData <= x then <card fields> else nil}
I tried putting ( and , and " in different places to no avail. I tried some variants of the script: statement with no success. I perused the forum, the documentation, google. Nothing. I think I'm doing something fundamentally wrong but I cannot find my mistake.
So, help?

Thanks for the quick reply. Here is the relevant code from the game and style files as well as the console error:
Game:
card field:
type: text
name:SkillsNumber
default:
"1"
card field:
type: text
name: Skill1
default: "* Skill 1"
show statistics: false
card field:
type: choice
name: Skill1Icon
choice:
choice: Advantage
choice: Disadvantage
choice: Remark
Skill1:
275 script:
276 {if card.SkillsNumber <= then ("
top: 175
left: 35
width: 215
height: 25
font:
name: { styling.FontDescription}
size: 16
scale down to: 9
color: { styling.text_color}
alignment: top left
z index: 3

render style: image

300 else nil}
MSE Console
Warnings while reading file:
C:\MSE\data\Arjan-Cards-Skills.mse-style/style
On line 275: Unexpected key: 'script'
On line 276: Unexpected key: '{if card.SkillsNumber >= 2 then ("'
On line 300: Unexpected key: 'else nil}'
Lines 275, 276 and 300 are numbered in the snipped from the style file.
I've started with the Skill1 code. The other 9 are still to be done.

oh i see. you can't script the existence of a field like you're trying to do here, but you can script the visibility of them, so you'd do like
Skill1:
top: whatever
left: whatever
...
visible: {card.SkillsNumber > 0}
Skill2:
top: whatever
left: whatever
...
visible: {card.SkillsNumber > 1}
or whichever the condition is that they'd be visible
a similar thing that you need to use sometimes is scripting the width rather than the visibility, so like "width: {if condition then 200 else 0}", if you find some strange edge cases with visibility allowing you to click things that aren't visible.

Works like a charm Thanks so much.
And to think I came across the visible tag thinking "why would I need that, I could just not put the field in."
