Zugg Software :: View topic - Help please -> #add and #if

Hi,
I've got two problems. The first is:
I want to count something. Therefore I wrote a trigger:
pattern: abc
value: #add test 1

Mudtext:
#var test 0
say abc
You say: abc
#var test -> Variable: test 1 || seems to work, but
#var test 200
say abc
You say: abc
#var test -> Variable: test 1

The command #add does not add something, but set a specific value. What do I do wrong?

The second problem:
I want to use a simple #if-Function, but none works. For example:

Alias:
patter: test1
value: #IF (@gold < 100) {say NO!} {say YES!}

#var gold 200
test1
You say: YES!

#var gold 50
test1
You say: YES!

Same question, what do I do wrong?

I use zMud 7.21.

So long,
Hydrargyrum

Do you have more than 1 variable with the same name? It's likely the ones the scripts are finding are different from the ones you are setting for testing purposes. Beyond that or ZMud/your settings file being buggy, your syntax is correct.

No, all variables exist only once.

If my mudfile is buggy, what should I do? Reinstall zMud?

Don't need to reinstall. Basically, you need to export to text everything in your settings file. Once that is done, delete that mud file and create a new one. After that, import each setting one by one from that text file.

More exact instructions can be found here: http://www.zuggsoft.com/page.php?file=zmud/migrating.htm

Sometimes it's just the ZMud core that's gone glitchy, and a simple reinstall will fix that in most cases.

Hydrargyrum,
tried it myself as well, cause lord knows if somethings wonky somewhere it would be with mine as well.
It worked fine.
start with a blank profile.
at the char select menu, press escape.
enter the 3 things that you need and see if it still happens.
