ok this is the output of my mud that I am working with:

< 424h/264H 124v/124V Pos: standing >

the triggers I have set up for what I want to do are as follows:

#trigger {<(*)h/(*)H (*)v/(*)V} @current_hitpoints = %1;@full_hitpoints = %2}
#alias weapon_check {#math vamp {@full_hitpoints*@times};#if @current_hitpoints=>447 {wield @weapon} {rem @weapon}}
@var time {1.6931818181818181818181818181818}

and I have a timer set up to go off every 20 ticks with the action of weapon_check. what I am trying to get it to do is if my @current_hitpoints, which would be the 424 number, are equal to or above 447 I want it to wield @weapon but if it is below 447 I want it to rem @weapon. I can type #sa @vamp @current_hitpoints/@full_hitpoints and it will display 447 424/264 but when the timer activates the alias it always comes up with wield @weapon, even when I have 290h/264H it still comes up with wield @weapon. can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong that it will not remove @weapon when it is suspose to?

P.S. thank you in advance for any help that anyone maybe able to give me.

=> is backwards, it should be >=. Also, should have () around the condition.

that part works as it should but this next part should wield sword and yet it returns the same result as above:

_____________________________________
this is exactly how it is written in my scripts:
_____________________________________

#ALIAS weapon_check {#math vamp {@full_hitpoints*@times};#if @current_hitpoints=<447 {wield @weapon} {rem @weapon}} "anti-paladin"
#TRIGGER {(*)h/(*)H} {@current_hitpoints = %1;@full_hitpoints = %2} "anti-paladin"
#VAR times {1.6931818181818181818181818181818}

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
as far as I can tell, this should act just as I am wanting it to but for some reason I can get it to either "rem @weapon" or "wield @weapon" depending on how I place the "<=" marks. I just had a brain fart, wander if I changed the weapon_check alias to contain another alias if it would give it time to do the math. I am going to try that real quick. will post the results.

I changed my alias a little bit in an attempt to check a thought out but it did not work. My new alias is as follows:

#ALIAS weapon_check {#math vamp {@full_hitpoints*@times};weapon_check_continued} "anti-paladin"
#ALIAS weapon_check_continued {#if @current_hitpoints=<447 {wield @weapon} {rem @weapon}} "anti-paladin"

I'm Not Sure what exactly is causing what but a small problem i think is

#trigger {<(*)h/(*)H (*)v/(*)V} @current_hitpoints = %1;@full_hitpoints = %2}

are the @ symbols necessary?

current_hitpoints=%1
full_hitpoints=%2

no spaces and no @, those 2 Variables should be defined just fine without the @.

I now have the triggers set up as such:

#alias weapon_check {#math vamp {@full_hitpoints*@times};weapon_check_continued}}
#alias weapon_check_continued {#if @current_hitpoints=<447 {wield @weapon} {rem @weapon}}
#trigger {(*)h/(*)H} {current_hitpoints=%1;full_hitpoints=%2}
#trigger {T: @char TP} {@action = weapon_check}
#trigger {You receive your share of experience} {@action = kill @target}

I have just started attempting to use #if and #math triggers within the last couple of weeks. This is actually the first attempt and as you can tell, it is not going so well heh. Thus I thought I would come to the experts on the forums of zuggsoft. I have always been able to get help when I needed it here and it has been a life saver for me. I also have another question, does anyone know how to make a trigger to set the timeout margin on the tick timer? I know how to set the tick timer itself, #ts 5, but I need to be able to change the timeout margin as well if there is a way to do it, which I figure surely there is a way to do it but could not find it in the zmud documents.

MattLofton, could you show me exaples of what you mean on each of those advices? Like I said, I am very new to #if triggers.

{@action = kill @target} works quite well. I have had no problems with it but if there is an easier way to do it, then I would like to know it and maybe even try it. I am all for effective ways.

I can see what you are saying about this, {(*)h/(*)H}, and I actually had it set up with the < in it, not sure what happened to it.

in this, @current_hitpoints=<447 , does the "<" or ">" always go before the "="? I am mostly asking so as to learn more about it.

I understand what you are saying for the most part, but my brain just does not totally comprehend it all and therefore I would like to see your advice shown as an example if you could please, just so I can have a clearer view of what you mean.

also, I have not found anything bout a third or fourth, or even second arguement for a tick timer line. All I know of doing the tick timer is #ts 5 to set the tick to 5 seconds.

I have the targeting all set up to where it works perfectly. These triggers are the ones I use:

#TRIGGER {An old male orc is moving very slowly} {@target = male}
#TRIGGER {An orc playing cards quickly lowers his hand, and reaches for a dagger} {@target = card}
#TRIGGER {A large dog walks slowly down the road} {@target = dog}
#TRIGGER {An adult orc wanders around} {@target = adult}
#TRIGGER {A mother orc is looking for her cubs} {@target = mother}
#TRIGGER {A father orc is on his way home} {@target = father}
#TRIGGER {A common female orc walks around here} {@target = female}
#TRIGGER {A drunkard drinks away his life} {@target = drunk}
#TRIGGER {A small dog is here chasing (*) tail} {@target = dog}
#TRIGGER {An old female orc is moving very slowly} {@target = female}
#TRIGGER {A common male orc shuffles down the path} {@target = male}
#TRIGGER {A young adolescent orc scans the crowd looking for a mark} {@target = teen-age}
#TRIGGER {A very large warg is wandering about here, snarling viciously at you} {@target = warg}

I just need help on the #if and #math and timeout margin triggers. I am reading the documents for the timer again atm.
