@dfabulich Will you be able to accommodate this request for the next update? If it’s possible, I’d like the \*if and \*elseif codes to allow us to write options without using \*goto at the end of the choice. As it is now, the codes require us to use \*goto or \*finish at the end of every statement under the \*if and \*elseif codes. Like this for example:

\*if choice = 1  
Your choice is one  
\*goto next  
\*elseif choice = 2  
Your choice is 2  
\*goto next2  
\*else  
You chose none  
\*finish

It would be great if we can write it like this instead:

\*if choice = 1  
Your choice is one  
\*elseif choice = 2  
Your choice is 2  
\*else  
You chose none  
\*finish

It kinda works like \*fake\_choice because if any of the conditions are met it goes directly to the next set of commands–in this case, it’s \*finish.

I believe you can turn on the new implicit control flow option to achieve this.

> Thanks to a big code contribution from @kgold, there are new features to try in the latest version of ChoiceScript up on GitHub: implicit control flow and \*gosub parameters. Implicit control flow Normally, you have to use a \*goto before the end of a \*choice #option or before an \*else, or you’ll get errors like this: It is illegal to fall out of a \*choice statement; you must \*goto or \*finish before the end of the indented block. It is illegal to fall in to an \*else statement; you must \*goto o…
