In a somewhat better and cleaner way. I understand that they never planned on having more than 3 prereqs and/or denials, but really - hardcoding to check only for one, two or three arguments is really lame. If you put in four denials the script would just return FALSE without checking anything. Mine evaluates the first one and collates (uses all the solutions so far in calculating the next one) all the others, either until it runs out of arguments or one of the prereqs hits FALSE. Then same (but inverse) applies for Denials (i just call them that way) after which the prereqsMet and !deniesMet vars are anded.

This way I can have as many prereqs and denies as I want and I'm not limited only to the first three. I believe these kind of bad coding practices are the root of all the limitations, such as having only 6 pilots and that crap.

Yea, like how they hardcoded missile launch sfx to a single file instead of allowing us to use the work_sound tag (which are in the damn xml definitions ffs...), how adding sound to missile flight causes the game to CTD when it impacts (probably something unfinished there), not to mention the inconsistencies in the xmls, that kind of thing.
