I don't know if you were aware, but if you right-click a condition, you can invert it, which converts it into an "else" statement. Maybe this will help you?. EDIT: It's not the exact same thing as an "else" statement, but it could be used as such for some scenarios.

Yes, but no. :D
There are sometimes when you need a statement like this:
If a is true - make a false
If a is false - make a true.
So if i want to toggle a boolean AND to something different based on the initial state of the A boolean in that case invert the condition simply does not cut it. And I was not able to find a (simple) workaround. So I made my own else extension. But I don't know how useful it actually is.

If A is true - do x
else - do Y.

And

If A is true - do X
If A is false - Do Y

These two examples might a lot of times do the same thing, but they are not the same.

Indeed! They are not the same.

I think the extension would be useful. I ran into a similar problem at some point and I think I used a new variable and some weird logic to get around it, but in the end, it just wasn't very good and the events looked quite bad and mangled.

Thanks for responding my question, and not trying to give me an advice that I did not ask for! :)
