there maybe an ezer way to do this but I dunno it
but anyways heres what I got

#if {@eguard=1} {#var eguard 0;k elite guard}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=1} {#var guard 0;k guard}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=1} {#var rat 0;k rat}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=1} {#var priest 0;kill priest}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=1} {#var troll 0;k troll}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=1} {#var dwarf 0;k dwarf}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=0 and @gnome=1} {#var gnome 0;k gnome}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=0 and @gnome=0 and @prisoner=1} {#var prisoner 0;k prisoner}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=0 and @gnome=0 and @prisoner=0 and @trainee=1} {#var trainee 0;k trainee}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=0 and @gnome=0 and @prisoner=0 and @trainee=0 and @woman=1} {#var woman 0;k woman}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=0 and @gnome=0 and @prisoner=0 and @trainee=0 and @woman=0 and @baker=0 and @chef=1} {#var chef 0;k chef}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=0 and @gnome=0 and @prisoner=0 and @trainee=0 and @woman=0 and @baker=0 and @chef=0 and @cook=1} {#var cook 0;k cook}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=0 and @gnome=0 and @prisoner=0 and @trainee=0 and @woman=0 and @baker=0 and @chef=0 and @cook=0 and @orderly=1} {#var orderly 0;k orderly}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=0 and @gnome=0 and @prisoner=0 and @trainee=0 and @woman=0 and @baker=0 and @chef=0 and @cook=0 and @orderly=0 and @nurse=1} {#var nurse 0;k nurse}
#if {@eguard=0 and @guard=0 and @rat=0 and @priest=0 and @troll=0 and @dwarf=0 and @gnome=0 and @prisoner=0 and @trainee=0 and @woman=0 and @baker=0 and @chef=0 and @cook=0 and @orderly=0 and @nurse=0 and @servant=1} {#var servant 0;k servant}

It should(if it worked) allow me to attack mobs in a zone in a certin order
but of corse It doesn't wanna work for me I have triggers with all the mobs descr makeing the vars 1 and that part is working but its only1 attcking the first 2 eguard and guard

any ideas?

Try using the "else" part of the if statements.

Would that attack anything thing in a room?

what does the == do?

== is the conventional syntax for an expression in an IF statement.
using a single = is for assigning a value to a variable.

For example if you had
testvar = 1
#show (@testvar == 1)

then it would show 'True'

I'm not sure of whether zmud does this or not (don't have it to hand to check), but if it doesn't then most likely Larkin was thinking of another language.

zMUD works just fine with the traditional == syntax, and I use it all the time. I prefer it because it's good practice for anyone to learn this if they ever might use a real scripting language. Many languages, especially C-like ones, will allow assignment inside an expression before evaluation takes place, and that's usually not the desired effect.

And, the script as I suggested it would attack the first match. If you find an elite guard, you'll kill that. Else, if you find a guard, you'll kill that. Etc, etc. The "else" clause in the "if" command is the key to simplicity.

ZMud completely ignores the == and simply refers to it as =. Dunno if this is going to change with CMud, but I sort of doubt it.
