OK trying to set up a macro that will only fire if two conditions are true. First I got teh conditions working fine.

The two variable we'll call

XXX and YYY

this is the IF statement I'm trying

#IF (@XXX AND @YYY) {strike @target}{#sh OFF BALANCE}
#va XXX 1
#va YYY 1

thus if I have balance and equilbrium, i will strike, if NOT I will see on my screen, but NOT sent to the mud, OFF BALANCE

Note that I aslo include a #VA statement to put both variables to a true statement, when I get the message from the MUD that I have balance or EQ it sets it back to 0 or false

what am I doing wrong?

You need to have a space between the true statements, and the false statements. Also, there seems to be a problem with the logic here. If you put the #VAR statements outside the #IF, then they will always be set to true regardless of what part of the #IF executed. What you need, is to set the to false, when the true part of the #IF executes, and then have your triggers set the to 1 or true, when you regain balance and equilibrium. Your script, then, should be something like:
#IF (@XXX AND @YYY) {strike @target;#VAR XXX 0;#VAR YYY 0} {#SH OFF BALANCE}

By using that method, no matter what happens the second portion (the #SH OFF BALANCE part) ALWAYS fires, regardless if XXX and YYY equal 0 or 1

XXX must equal 1 AND YYY must equal 1 AT THE SAME TIME.

Yeah, you said that you want the true part to be executed only if both variables are 1. That is precisely what the and operator does, it returns true only if both operands are true, false otherwise. Also, the only other difference is moving the variables into the true part, which should not affect the testing of the condition in any way, and the adding of the space between the true part and the false part which is required because of the syntax.

Your right, it works, now that I have the variables spelled the same in EVERY location. Thanks.
