I have a question...

I have a trigger on (%w) tells you: find (%w)
to do: #MATH %1fcount (@%1fcount +1)

the thing is, Different people asks me for finds.
Now, what I want todo is that I want it to put a variable
so if the %1 is Corleidum, it should make a variable called

CorleidumFcount and when it hits the limit (3) it will send corleidum a tell, telling him that he exceeded his search requests.

so I got this, wich is so not working
#IF (@wfind"fcount" >=3) {tell @wfind I'm sorry, you have exceeded your limit of 3 searches.} {fiok}

So, how can I make it work..?

(%w) tells you: find (%w)
#If (@%1fcount<3) {whateveractionyoudo;#ADD %1fcount 1} {Tell %1 I'm sorry, you have exceeded your limit of 3 searches}

If whateveryoudo is the alias fiok, then put {fiok;#ADD %1fcount 1}.

I hope this helps.

You need to specify that "wfind" is another variable.
#IF (@{@{wfind}fcount} >=3) {tell @wfind I'm sorry, you have exceeded your limit of 3 searches.} {fiok}

If you use a record variable, you'll only need one which will reduce the clutter in your variable list considerably.
#IF (%db( @Fcount, @wfind)) {#ADDK Fcount @wfind %eval( 1 + %db( @Fcount, @wfind))} {#ADDK Fcount @wfind 1}
#IF (%db( @Fcount, @wfind) < 4)) {fiok} {tell @wfind sorry, your find limit ran out}

Hmm, I am getting an error here.: =(

on this:_
#IF (%db( @Fcount, @wfind) < 4)) {fiok} {tell @wfind sorry, your find limit ran out}...w hy?

With extra ) removed.
#IF (%db( @Fcount, @wfind)) {#ADDK Fcount @wfind %eval( 1 + %db( @Fcount, @wfind))} {#ADDK Fcount @wfind 1}
#IF (%db( @Fcount, @wfind) < 4) {fiok} {tell @wfind sorry, your find limit ran out}

I'm sorry this doesn't work for you. I've tested these statements several times and they work. If you are having problems, it's possible that you incorrectly entered some values as strings instead of numbers. This can be fixed by deleting your existing variable and allowing the script to create a new one.
#UNV Fcount

NOTE: This is not a complete script. Additional statements are needed to set the value of @wfind (used in both statements above) and any other variables used by the fiok alias.

weird, well it works fine now, thank you lightbuld, you're my saver!!

Ok, one last thing. Now, sometims it will say: That person does not excist in our realm.

Now, any smart solution about how to NOT add 1 to the FCOUNT if the person in question is not online?
thanks

Just subtract 1.
#TR {That person does not excist in our realm.} {#ADDK Fcount @wfind %eval( %db( @Fcount, @wfind) - 1)}

(misspelling of 'exist' preserved)
