Somehow I need to get zmud to count each type of demon when the mud shows "You take stock of your demonic entourage.". I would like to place each individual type in its own variable and display the individual ammounts in the status bar next to the demons name. Someone throw me a bone. [8D] |

I can't see how you could even try to fit each demon's status on the status bar, given you have some 20 demons. But the following would set their stats to variables and put them on the status bar:
#trigger {You take stock of your demonic entourage.} {#var Demonlist %null;#T+ demonstock;#ALARM +2 {#st %expandlist(@demonlist,"; ");#T- demonstock}}
#trigger {(%a) Health: (%d) out of (%d). Mind: (%w).} {#var %1 {Demon: %1 Health: %2%3 MindState: %4};#additem DemonList {"@%1"}} demonstock |

Let me add to this, Im not interested in all the stuff that follows each demon. eg. if there are 5 haunts in the list i would like the status bar to look something like HAUNT: 5, and likewise for some of the others. I seem to have a nack for not saying exactly what I intend.[:o)]

Ah, that's better.
#trigger {You take stock of your demonic entourage.} {#Forall @demonlist {#var %i 0}}
#trigger {(%w)%d Health: %d out of %d. Mind: %w.} {#add %1 1;#additem demonlist %1} |

I prefer to assign my own variable names so I can ensure there are no conflicts. Allowing the script to choose variable names always leaves the possibility of getting a name that's already in use. By using a record-variable, only one variable, and one name, is required to track all the demon-types. This also simplifies the #STATUS command so it doesn't need to be rewritten whenever a new type of demon is added. However, I have used a second, list-variable, so that additional demon-types can easily be added without rewriting the variable-initialization in the first trigger. I've demonstrated by adding Possession and Haunt with the #ADDITEM command.
#VAR demonlist {Pestilence|Imp|Balrog|Slime|Parasite|Seeker|Storm|Leech}
#ADDITEM demonlist Possession
#ADDI demonlist Haunt
#TR {You take stock of your demonic entourage} {#ADDKEY demons @demonlist 0}
#TR {(%w)%d %s Health: %d out of %d. Mind:} {#ADD demons.%1 1;#ADDI demonlist %1}
#ST {%expanddb( {@demons}, " ", "=")} |

A question lightbulb. How does the #addkey in the first trigger work? Doesn't it just make the value of @demonlist, Pestilence|Imp|..., the key with a value of 0, or does it make a record for each member in @demonlist?

No, as per the help file:
quote:
To set multiple fields to the same value, you can also use: #ADDKEY dbrec {field1|field2|...} Value
it will treat each member in the stringlist as a key and will assign each key the value of 0. |

Hope someone is reading old topics.:) I was hoping lightbulb or someone could ammend this a tad. Because there are so many different types of demons the status bar becomes jammed up. Is there a way to get the status bar to only show a few of the more important demon types?

Yes. Pick the ones you consider important. For the sake of illustration, I've chosen Balrog and Storm.
#STATUS {Balrog=%db( @demons, Balrog) Storm=%db( @demons, Storm)} |
