im trying to make a bot to run for me when i get the message You are too fatigued
i made it so it assigned the room to run to, and where to run back, problem is it enters every single if i have, this is what i use
Pattern: You are too fatigued
Command: @rundir
#WA 50000
%if("@rundir=east",west,%null)
%if("@rundir=northeast",southwest,%null)
%if("@rundir=southeast",northwest,%null)
%if("@rundir=west",east,%null)
%if("@rundir=southwest",northeast,%null)
%if("@rundir=northwest",southeast,%null)
%if("@rundir=south",north,%null)
%if("@rundir=north",south,%null)

what happens is it goes every direction listed, not the one i want

try it with only the direction name in quotes.

%if(@rundir="east", west, %null)

What you need is not the %if function, but the #IF command. As it is right now, the script will send a blank line to the MUD for every condition that fails. It is normally good habit to start every line of script in zMUD with either a zMUD command, a MUD command, or an alias. You also need to make the change Wrudyn suggested. At the end, your script should be:
#EXEC {@rundir}
#WAIT 5000
#IF (@rundir = "east") {west}
#IF (@rundir = "northeast") {southwest}
#IF (@rundir = "southeast") {northwest}
#IF (@rundir = "west") {east}
#IF (@rundir = "southwest") {notheast}
#IF (@rundir = "southwest") {northeast}
#IF (@rundir = "south") {north}
#IF (@rundir = "north") {east}

The script would be slightly more efficient if the #IF's were nested, but it would not make a big difference and you might want to keep it that way to make it easier to read. Also, I left the #WAIT that you have in there but you should try reading up on the problems that #WAIT has and alternative solutions to using it. There is an article about this posted in the Support Library.
