Illegal Character in Expression
|
Simple trigger really...
You are thirsty.
drink decan
drink decan
drink decan
drink decan
drink decan
But, as one cannot drink while asleep... it gets slightly more complex. Thus, I have the variable posn, which can either equal wake or sleep.
| Code: |
| #IF (posn=wake){drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan}{rest;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;sleep} |
But with that in the comman box, I get:

Try it this way:
| Code: |
#IF (posn=wake) {drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan} {rest;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;sleep}
|
Blanks are required between the fields of the #IF command. So:
#IF (condition) {true-condition-command(s)} {false-condition-command(s)} |

This should always evaluate to false:
Perhaps you meant
| Code: |
| #IF (@posn="wake") {drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan} {rest;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;drink decan;sleep} |

Actually, I agree with Larkin. My remedy just took care of the syntax problem. I didn't go into what I thought about the code, but I didn't think it would work the way you stated it.

Hence the post right above yours. |

Since no one else has clarified this yet, I'll let you know that the cause of your original error message was that you didn't include spaces between the close-open parentheses/brackets. When you end one "block" you need a space before you begin the next.
Bad:
| Code: |
| #IF (@blah){code}{more code} |
Good:
| Code: |
| #IF (@blah) {code} {more code} |
|

It's a lot easier to just write it as:
| Code: |
#IF (@posn="wake") {
#5 {#send "drink decan"}
} {
#send rest
#5 {#send "drink decan"}
#send sleep
} |

You typoed, there's an extra # before your #if command.
