hey, just got cmud and converted my zmud script over to it, but I keep getting an illegal token error on one of my aliases. It's an extremely long one, so I'm only gotta put a few lines in here and hope it's enough for some one to help me figure out what's wrong.

With out the entire script it will be hard to tell exactly what's going on, but I would guess that it's your code indentation. Try something like this

Illegal token errors are a catch-all error and often the position of the error is just when CMUD realises there's an error and not where the error actually is. Without your whole script, there's not much we can do.

Also, use #switch for this problem.

I appreciate the the help that I've already been given. I'm going to post the whole code since I've been messing with it for a while now and have no idea what to do. And I'm not real sure how to turn this mass of code into #switches, but I'll worry more about that after I have it working right. So, I apologize but this code is pretty long and I'd appreciate any more help I could get. Thanks in advance

When CMUD tells you there is a error in your script such as the type you mention, click on the EDITOR tab and select Check syntax. This will tell you which line and column number it thinks the error is located. Once we have this information, it will be easier to tell what the problem is. As Tech pointed out, it may be just and indentation error because the Editor sometimes loses track of the newline it uses to represent ";".

aye, I did that and that's where it tells me the error is an illegal toke: = 1, I've tried changing the spacing and even tried to use the reformat script button. I'm still going to keep trying of course, just wanted to let people know what I've done so they know if it works or not

I've copied your script to one of my aliases and I am trying to figure out why you are getting a syntax check. However, and with all due respect, have you thought about making the script table-driven (or at least, stringlist or database-record driven?). It would make it much simpler to update.

honestly, I'm not too sure how I'd go about doing all that I only know the very basic stuff for programming thats why I just a mess of if statements. But I'll look into it if it would make this easier on me

Well, your can take advantage of the fact that @envenom1 contains a string which is, in most cases, the name of the variable that contains the flag. So, for instance, @envenom1 = "opium" and there is a @opium flag. So you could use something like

I carefully indented this code.. and still got the error. It's almost as if CMUD loses track of what's happening. With that said this is poorly written code (no offense). The same can be accomplished with cleaner code.

A couple of questions... When you enter this bit of code

How are you setting @envenom1 and @envenom2? It would be much easier to do something like the following:

I greatly appreciate all the help you guys gave me. I just replaced the envenomreset1 = 1 with #VAR envenomreset1 1 to get rid of the token error. However it then said the braces didn't match, so I put it in a switch like Oldguy2 showed me and it seems to have cleared up all the errors. Thank you for all the help
