if is the beginning of an if statement.
elseif can only be used after an if (like an else, but with a condition of its own).

Example:

if condition then  
 --only executes if condition is true  
else  
 --only executes if condition is false  
end

if condition then --only executes if condition is true elseif condition2 then --only executes if condition is false and condition2 is true end [import]uid: 49205 topic_id: 11111 reply_id: 40366[/import]

Just call the function name like you normally would.

[code]
function callMe()

end

function randomFunction()
callMe()
end
