I remember the DCX guys talking about using If Then statements to test if a certain map is loaded and change skins on vehilces accordingly. In a more general sense, this should be able to be applied to any object? Vehicles and weapons only?
How soon and where would this need to happen? In the map's init.con?
I think I have down the basic idea:
1. Set a variable during map load but before object load
2. If / then statement in object runs during object load and routes to the appropriate conditonal code.
Also, are Case statements supported? Or do you have to use nested if / then / else?

Four Cents is the resident expert on conditionals. Case statements do not seem to be supported, so that means nested if then else statemenst.

You can simulate the case statement with the if .. elseif .. elseif ... end if. Here is an example from my debugging toolkit:
