Need some help on figuring out why this will not work.

The mindstate variable contains mind lock|dazed|bewildered
The mind variable is capturing and contains mind lock

Now I am sure you can figure out that if the mind variable is a member of the mindstate variable I want to shut off the class and put my juggling items way. But for some reason it is continuing to juggle the item. Everything is capturing correctly and the pattern is matching all the variables are capturing into their correct areas.

#ALARM +@RTWAIT {#IF (%ismember( @mind, @mindstate)) {
#t- juggling
put @jugglies in @container
} {juggle @jugglies}}

Thanks for the help ahead of time

That snippet you showed should work perfectly. If it doesn't work, it would have to be that @mind isn't being set to a member of @mindstate.

I know which is the part that is boggling my mind.

This is the pattern I am Matching for the perception part of it.

Perception: 92 37.14% muddled

This is matching with my pattern perfectly I triple checked to make sure @mind was updating with the pattern match there.

Where Muddled is the mindstate and the three I am looking are in this variable

mindstate="mind lock|dazed|bewildered"

#CLASS {Juggling}
#TRIGGER {You toss*} {}
#COND {Roundtime~:%s(%d)%sseconds.} {#var rtwait %1;exp perception}
#COND {Perception~:%s(%d)%s(%d).(%d~%)%s(*)} {#var mind "%4";#ALARM +@RTWAIT {#IF %ismember( @mind, @mindstate) {#ECHO debug stop juggle;#t- juggling;put @jugglies in @container;} {#ECHO DEBUG keep juggle;juggle @jugglies}}
#CLASS 0

"muddled" is not a member of "mind lock|dazed|bewildered". That's why you continue to juggle. If you don't want to juggle while you are muddled, you should add "muddled" to the list.

"Mind lock", "Dazed", and "Bewildered" are also not members of the list, since the entries in the list are all lower-case. If case-matching is the cause of your problem, you can solve it by using the %lower function.

Yeah I know muddled isn't part of list Smile

I was just showing the pattern I was matching, even if it goes to mind lock dazed or bewildered it still keeps juggling, I will give some mud output so you can see

Here is my Trigger set.

#CLASS {Juggling}
#TRIGGER {You toss*} {} "Juggling"
#COND {Roundtime~:%s(%d)%sseconds.} {#var rtwait %1;exp perception}
#COND {Perception~:%s(%d)%s(%d).(%d~%)%s(*)} {#var mind "%4";#ALARM +@RTWAIT {#IF %ismember( @mind, @mindstate) {#ECHO debug stop juggle;#t- juggling;put @jugglies in @container} {#ECHO DEBUG keep juggle;juggle @jugglies}}}
#CLASS 0

Now for some sample mud output.

You toss four of your guppy and shark beanbags into the air and start juggling them. You get a good crossover pattern going, and keep them all flying for a bit. Then you switch in mid-toss to a two and two pattern, rather surprised at how well the transition went. You keep going for a while longer, then catch each pair as it comes down and stop.
Roundtime: 12 seconds.

Okay this is working as intended..

now for where it goes silly and doesnt work.

> DEBUG keep juggle
juggle beanbags
You toss five of your guppy and shark beanbags into the air and start juggling them. You begin with a simple, smooth crossover pattern, and then start tossing every third one over your shoulder and catching it behind your back. You keep that going as long as you think you can, then bring everything to a graceful stop.
Roundtime: 12 seconds.

#VAR mind confirms that @mind is bewildered and @mindstate is
mind lock|dazed|bewildered

Now when I type

#IF (%ismember(@mind,@mindstate) {#SAY YEP} {#SAY NOPE}

in the command line with mind=mind lock it still says nope. Which tells me that something is wrong with %ismember. I am using the newest Beta of zMUD for this.

UPDATE now I canged @mind to dazed and the command above worked correctly, I changed it back to mind lock and it works correctly, I change it to something not in @mindlist and it works correctly ARGH! losing my mind! But my trigger set still does not want to cooperate.

Snip...missing paranthesis #IF (%ismember(@mind,@mindstate)) {#SAY YEP} {#SAY NOPE}...guess you fixed this one when retrying it.
Snip...no paranthesis surrounding condition often works, but why chance slang #IF (%ismember( @mind, @mindstate)).
