I am having trouble trying to get this trigger to generate a different if {true} {false} command based on which element in a string list it matches with.

#VAR chats {gangpaths|telepaths|broadcasts}

#TRIGGER {%1 ({@chats}): "(%3)"} {#IF...

I had separate triggers for the channels before but I thought I would try it in one. I also have a friends variable that it checks %ismember of before doing %3 but I would like to respond to failures based on what chat channel is used.

If @chat = gangpaths %ismember... {%3} {gangpath -Command Failed-}

Any help thanks.

first of all dont use %1 or %3 in the trigger pattern i know its not good but i always use (*)

if that does not work can you post what a couple of the chat channels look like?

I could change it to (%w) ({chats}): "(%*)"
but it doesn't seem to matter.

Bob gangpaths: "hi"
Bob telepaths: "hi"
Bob broadcasts: "hi"

They're pretty basic.

(*) (@chats): ~"(*)~" ... imho thats mysetup for a trigger

then the if function would be

#if (%2=channelname) {true} {false}

Hadar is correct in that you don't use %#s in trigger patterns. They were considered a bug in zMUD, and you'll run into all sorts of trouble.

Also, it looks like you're wanting to execute the %3 if the trigger meets certain criteria. When doing this, you NEED to preface it with #EXEC. Functions (whether they start with % or @) cannot begin a line.
This was a change in CMUD from zMUD.

Therefore, your trigger pattern would look something like this:

If I make multiple IFs like that the false state for the first IF would always go off because %2 would not be the chat channel used.

The only criteria %3 has to meet is that it is said by someone on the string list.

Then simply change it to:

#IF (%2="gangpaths") {#IF (%ismember(%1, @friendlist)) {#EXEC %3} {gangpath -Command failed-}}

#TRIGGER {(%w) ({@chats}): "(*)"}
#IF (%2="gangpaths") {#IF (%ismember(%1, @friends)) {#EXEC %3) {gb -Command Failed-}}} {#IF (%2="telepaths") {#IF (%ismember(1, @friends)) {#EXEC %3} {reply -Command Failed-}}} {#IF (%2="broadcasts") {#IF (%ismember(1, @friends)) {#EXEC %3} {br -Command Failed-}}}

Before each #IF (%2, remove the { and replace it with a ;.

It will never work the way you have it right now.

Therefore, it'll look like this:

#IF (%2="gangpaths") {#IF (%ismember(%1, @friends)) {#EXEC %3) {gb -Command Failed-};{#IF (%2="telepaths") {#IF (%ismember(1, @friends)) {#EXEC %3} {reply -Command Failed-};{#IF (%2="broadcasts") {#IF (%ismember(1, @friends)) {#EXEC %3} {br -Command Failed-}}}}}}}

I said replace the {, not put a ; and a {. :p

I'd copy/paste, but on blackberry right now.

#IF (%2="gangpaths} {gangpaths stuff only};#IF (second channel)etc.

#IF (%2="gangpaths") {#IF (%ismember(%1, @friends)) {#EXEC %3) {gb -Command Failed-};#IF (%2="telepaths") {#IF (%ismember(1, @friends)) {#EXEC %3} {reply -Command Failed-};#IF (%2="broadcasts") {#IF (%ismember(1, @friends)) {#EXEC %3} {br -Command Failed-}}}}}

Ya I had tried it like that. I tried removing the ; and using new lines but it still doesn't work. It neither replies nor executes %3 so I am running out of ideas.

Ok. One last time. Copy/paste the below (and I'm simplifying it for you):

That gave a compiling error from an invalid local variable. I added a first line of $ChatCmd="" and it works. Thanks a bunch.
