If statements
|
Is it possible to have an if command turn off a class? I get a sytnax error when using the following: %if( @conc<"10", #class combat 0)
Also is it possible to perform two commands when an if statement is true? For example: %if( @conc<"1", @leavedir and heal) |

What you are using is the IF function (%IF), which requires that all arguments be present. You get a syntax error because you left out the false response argument. You're also trying to use a "less than" operator with a string value ("10") instead of a numerical value (10), I'm not sure what the result will be.
The simplest solution would be to switch to the IF command (#IF), where the false response is optional and multiple commands are easily done.
#IF (@conc < 10) {#CLASS combat 0}
#IF (@conc < 1) {@leavedir;heal}

Turning off a class is done with #T- combat (and turning on with #T+ combat)

You are probably running into problems simply because 1 is also less than 10. Unless the @leavedir;heal trigger(as well as the leavedir variable) is in a different class than 'combat', once the @conc variable is less than 10, your <1 trigger will no longer fire.
#IF (@conc < 10)&&(@conc > 1) {#t- combat}#IF (@conc < 1){[@leavedir;heal] #abort} |

Let me explain some more. I have a trigger set up in the default (no)class. The trigger is as follows: #IF (@conc<1) {off;he;@leavedir} The trigger kicks on everytime @conc is less than 10. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

define what it should do when @conc is less than 10 but greater than one using:
#IF (@conc > 1)&&(@conc < 10) {whatever_you_want_to_do} |

What is the value of @conc? That is, what is the script that creates/updates it? Are you sure it's a number and not a string? As I already pointed out, string comparisons don't work the same as numerical comparisons and it's only a numerical comparison if both sides are numerical.
Note to Lady C: I thought about pointing out the #T+/#T- commands, but reading through the helpfile for #CLASS it appears to be a proper, if unusual, method of controlling the class.

Well the trigger I am using to store the variable is C: &conc Is there a way to make sure that this is stored as a number?

Yep. You can modify your trigger pattern from 'C: &conc' to 'C: (%d)'. The pattern will ensure the trigger ONLY fires when a number appears where (%d) is. Then in the Value section of the trigger you'd assign %1 to @conc (ie, @conc = %1 or #VAR conc %1).
EDIT: technically, all variables are stored as strings. I haven't a clue if the mathematical functions actually validate the data given to it, though.
