OK i am kinda struggling with a few probs with adding weapons to a variable

my variables are

1.mainwep (the most powerful weap i have on me)
2.otherwep (backupwep)
3.attackwep (what they are hitting me with)

i also have a list of the weapons used in my mud listed by power
#var bigwep=ls|fbb
#var midwep=axe|rat
#var smallwep=brick|knife
#var specialwep=rat

what i want to do is compare the mainwep against the weapon i have just picked up and if new one is more powerful add it automatically to the mainwep var and if the mainwep is bigger than my otherwep replace it.
however is one snag. for example if i pick up the fbb and try to pick up rat i cant have both same if i pick rat if i have ls.

not too much of a problem, however what i am also trying to do is target the weap an opponent attackes me with, so if their weap is more powerful i steal theirs and fight with that, this is where the rat becomes a pain.
i have messed round with triggers on patterns such as

^(%w) attacks you with the rusty longsword
attackwep=ls

you have taken the axe
mainwep=axe

so if pattern of attack =

x attacks you with the long sword

attackwep=ls;mainwep=ls;otherwep=axe

is what i want to achieve

but if my mainwep=ls and attackwep=rat i want to set attackwep to null how??

any ideas thanks

To set a varible to null, use "" or %null.

#IF ((@mainwep=ls) & (@attackwep=rat)) {#VAR attackwep ""}

or

#IF ((@mainwep=ls) & (@attackwep=rat)) {#VAR attackwep %null}
