If

if function
The if command is the main method of doing conditions in narrat. It can be used to branch inside a script, or to make choice options conditionally available.
if [condition]:
  "This code is run on condition success"
else:
  "This code is run on condition failure"
else is optional
The condition should be a boolean. You can directly pass a value (if $data.someValue ), or an expression that returns a boolean (for example if (> $data.player.age 18)
Examples
Simple example:
main:
  talk player idle "Wow, I found the key!"
  add_item key 1
  jump tryDoor
  
tryDoor:
  if (has_item? key):
    "You open the door and get inside"
  else:
    "You need a key to open the door!"
Example:
main:
  choice:
    talk alice idle "Do you prefer pizza or buger?"
    "Pizza":
      set data.player.prefers "pizza"
    "Burger":
      set data.player.prefers "burger"
  
ifExample:
  if (== $data.player.prefers "pizza"):
    talk alice idle "Let's have pizza then"
    jump havePizza
  else:
    talk alice idle "Let's go for a burger"
    jump haveBurger
    
havePizza:
  //...
  
haveBurger:
  //...
