If, then, else statement inside else statement

[jstibbsy 54]

I'm currently working on an execution script and I am wonder if I can put an if, then and else statement inside an else statement.
Here's my code so far:

//execute hostage script
_exec = _this select 0;
_player = _this select 1;
_id = _this select 2;
_hostage = hostage;
_list_of_Pistols = [
			"hgun_P07_F",
			"hgun_Pistol_heavy_01_F",
			"hgun_Pistol_heavy_02_F",
			"hgun_ACPC2_F",
			"hgun_Rook40_F"
];
_list_of_Rifles = [
			"Weapon_arifle_MX_F",
			"Weapon_arifle_MXC_F",
			"Weapon_arifle_MX_SW_F",
			"Weapon_arifle_MXM_F",
			"Weapon_arifle_MX_GL_F"
];
_exec removeaction _id;
_hostage removeaction _id;
_hostage switchmove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Loop";
_hostage setCaptive true;
if 
( 
	( 
		{
			_x in _list_of_Pistols
		} 
			count 
		(
			weapons _exec
		) 
	) 
!= 0
) 
then
{
	//when called
	_exec doTarget _hostage;
	_exec switchmove "Acts_Executioner_StandingLoop";
	_hostage doTarget _exec;
	sleep 10;
	//if unit has a pistol
	_exec switchmove "Acts_Executioner_kill";
	_hostage switchmove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Kill";
	sleep 1.733;
	_hostage switchmove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Kill_end";
	_hostage setHit ["head", 1];
	sleep 1.667;
	_exec switchmove "Acts_Executioner_kill_end";
	sleep 1.333;
	_hostage switchmove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Killterminal";
}
else
{
	[
	if
		(
			(
				{
					_x in _list_of_Rifles
				}
			)
		)
	then
		{
			//when called
			_exec doTarget _hostage;
			//if unit has a primary
			_exec doFire _hostage;
			//_hostage setHit ["head", 1];
		}
	else
		{
			_exec switchmove "Acts_CivilIdle_1";
			hint "No weapon to kill hostage!";
		};
	];
};
exit;

I'm getting an error right around the:

	else
		{
			_exec switchmove "Acts_CivilIdle_1";
			hint "No weapon to kill hostage!";
		};
	];
};
exit;

It says I'm missing a ]
Thx
:)

Why do you have [] brackets around the last if-then-else? And the double () brackets? A habit or some magic?

[jstibbsy 54]

Ok I removed the [] and the double brackets
I'm getting an error around here:

else
{
	if
		(

error if: Type code expected bool

[theend3r 83]

if
		(
			(
				{
					_x in _list_of_Rifles
				}
			)
		)
then

Afaik, the first condition can't be in {} brackets, that's why it says code instead of bool. The next conditions can be in brackets but... read https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Code_Optimisation#Conditions.

I solved it, I changed the code into a nested if-then-else statement
