Adding in another case:


      protected function ShowOccultContent(param1:int) : *
      {
         switch(param1)
         {
            case OccultTypes.OCCULT_VAMPIRE:
               this.mcVampireContent.visible = true;
               this.mcVampireContent.HandleSimActivated(mSimId);
               this.mcVampireContent.y = this.mcMotives.y + this.mcMotives.CalculateCommoditiesHeight() + SimInfoMotivePanelTunables.OCCULT_CONTENT_MARGIN.mTop;
               break;
            case OccultTypes.OCCULT_SORCERER:
               this.mcVampireContent.visible = true;
               this.mcVampireContent.HandleSimActivated(mSimId);
               this.mcVampireContent.y = this.mcMotives.y + this.mcMotives.CalculateCommoditiesHeight() + SimInfoMotivePanelTunables.OCCULT_CONTENT_MARGIN.mTop;
               break;
            default:
               this.mcVampireContent.visible = false;
         }
         this.RefreshPanelHeight();
      }

Why do that, when you can do this?


      protected function ShowOccultContent(param1:int) : *
      {
         switch(param1)
         {
           case OccultTypes.OCCULT_SORCERER:
            case OccultTypes.OCCULT_VAMPIRE:
               this.mcVampireContent.visible = true;
               this.mcVampireContent.HandleSimActivated(mSimId);
               this.mcVampireContent.y = this.mcMotives.y + this.mcMotives.CalculateCommoditiesHeight() + SimInfoMotivePanelTunables.OCCULT_CONTENT_MARGIN.mTop;
               break;
            default:
               this.mcVampireContent.visible = false;
         }
         this.RefreshPanelHeight();
      }

The case instances fall through by default; that's why the "break" statements exist.
