To cut a long story short, I don't have zmud and it won't run on my machine (it simply refuses to. Go figure). Anyway, I'm trying to learn the zMUD scripting language nevertheless so I can write scripts for my guild etc. and so I can convert scripts I've written for MudMaster.

Basically, I need someone to tell me if this script will work:

#SA {vials.txt loaded}

#VA drink 1

#TR {Your mind feels stronger and more alert.} {drink = 0}
#TR {The elixir heals and soothes you.} {drink = 0}
#TR {You may drink another health or mana elixir.} {drink = 1}

#AL drinkvial {#IF {@drink = 0} {#SA {**can't drink healthmana yet!**}} {drink %1}}

#AL dv {drinkvial %1}

When you drink health or mana in the MUD I play you have to wait before you're able to drink again. If you drink before then it has no effect. The script is supposed to stop you drinking before you are able to. The logic of it should work, since it works with MudMaster, but I need to know whether the syntax is correct. Yes, I've read the help files (I worked with them open) but, as I said, I have no way to actually test the script myself. So can someone please tell me if this script will work? If it helps, the MUD in question is Achaea (http://www.achaea.com/).

Thanks.

The syntax appears to be correct. It should work fine.

Btw, why doesn't zMUD run on your computer. What message does it say?

Thanks :)

It doesn't show up any messages. It loads for a brief moment, and then nothing happens :)

Looks like you need one change. The correct syntax for #IF uses parentheses around the expression rather than braces.
#AL drinkvial {#IF (@drink = 0) {#SA {**can't drink healthmana yet!**}} {drink %1}}

If you're running Windows 2000 or XP, make sure that the License control service (I think it's lictrl?) isn't disabled... A lot of people seem inclined to go into the services control panel and disable this one for some reason, and it will cause the program to not run in the manner you described. There's more info on this in some of the other posts on here...
