I've been using Cmud for some time already, and while I'm not a -total- novice at it, I can't begin to fathom how to do what I want to do...

Basically, I have 4 variables. leftarm, rightarm, leftleg, rightleg.

What I would like to do with these is compare their numerical values while storing the name of the variable for further use (%min just tells me what the value is, not the variable) so I could do something like...

if leftleg has the lowest value = attack left leg.

Additionally, while comparing these 4 variables, I want to remove one from the comparison based on a 5th variable (parried) that tells me which limb I can't attack, thus not attacking it.

Is this possible to do?

Something like this should work

Ok, it took me a little while to figure out what was happening in that (I've never used local variables before). However, I pasted that in and it doesn't seem to be holding the $spot value for 'attack $spot'. Adding #echo $spot test to the line after 'attack spot' returned ' test'. Is there a way around this?

I am guessing that my %concat is not properly allowing $this to contain a reference to the appropriate limb variable.
Throw in a '#SAY $this' to test that for me?
Not thinking of a proper way to correct that issue if so though... maybe wrap it in an %eval

Using #say $this didn't return anything, but using your code, I edited it a little to make it more understandable for me, and now it fires, but improperly..

That's my point.

$this=%concat("@", %replace(%i, " "))

seems to not be referencing the limb variable, when $this is itself referenced later, but giving us a string that represents the variable instead

Try it with:

$this=%eval(%concat("@", %replace(%i, " ")))

Yes! Ok, thank you so much:)

I did your change, and I also fixed a mistake I had made (<limbvalue instead of <@limbvalue) and now it works great. Thanks a bunch!

That's a very roundabout way to get the contents of each variable, and using %eval should be avoided because it's really slow. This is the proper way to reference a variable dynamically:

Oh yes, I forgot about that method.
