Trying to work on an echo... I've got about 30 or so variables I'd like to echo if they are active at a certain line.. So lets say this:

confusion = 1, stupidity = 1, epilepsy = 1, vertigo = 0

I want to make an echo on this trigger line

What are they afflicted with?

#echo They have confusion, stupidity, epilepsy.

Well, long way around it would be:

#ECHO They have %if(@confusion, "confusion"), %if(@stupidity, "stupidity"), %if(@epilepsy, "epilepsy") etc...

Easier way would be to put all afflictions into one variable... such as this:

#TRIGGER {You are afflicted with confusion.} {#ADDITEM afflictionlist "confusion"}
#TRIGGER {You are afflicted with stupidity.} {#ADDITEM afflictionlist "stupidity"}

and so forth.

Then you can do:

#ECHO They have %expandlist(@afflictionlist, ", ")

Then you can trigger to remove afflictions off it...

#TRIGGER {You are no longer afflicted with stupidity.} {#DELITEM afflictionlist "stupidity"}

Hope that helps.

Hrmm.. what about an if statement to stop the additem from adding an affliction already in it?
as in.. if stupidity is already in that list, I don't want to add it twice

Use %ismember to determine what's in the list already. If you use the %additem function, it won't put duplicates in the list.

%additem = duplicates
#ADDITEM != duplicates

Shalimar is correct on this one. :p #ADDITEM does not add duplicates, so it'll never add the affliction twice. :)
