Simpler messy script.

[Dasau]

I complete this script, but it seem a bit messy at the If else if statement. Can someone make it look nicer, or point out any other place I need to fix to make this better. Thank you

Use functions - will make code readable, maintainable. Draw common and put it at a single place. For example the SOPs could be handled in a function of their own dedicated to display/output instead of writing them so many times. Only the required values need to be accessible to them.
