I am trying to make an alias such that when I input a word, it takes a different variables (already set up, and checked that it is set up) and compare it to a list of other variables (already set up)

#var list {item1|item2|item3|item4}
#var item1Number {5} {_nodef} "Itemnumbers"
#var item2Number {3} {_nodef} "Itemnumbers"
#var item3Number {2} {_nodef} "Itemnumbers"
#var item4Number {4} {_nodef} "Itemnumbers"

#noop I'll leave out the checking if it's there since that works fine
#alias Make {#var %1Number {%2} {_nodef} "Itemnumbers";check %1}
#alias Check {#forall {@list} {#if (@%1Number < @%iNumber) {#add %1number {1}}}

Basically this will add to all the ither "itemnumbers" greater than the one added

I fiddled around and after playing with #say and such.. I found out the thing that isn't parsing will is the @%ibionumber in the #forall in the Check alias. (it's bolded/underlined) I've tried a few things, but can't seem to make that one part parse properly.

If you want to know how I tested I fiddled around using the same list and itemXNumber variables and used a alias

#alias test {#forall {@list} {#say @%1Number;#say @%iNumber}}

with various things around the %i.. %eval.. extra % a ~.. maybe I had it in the wrong combination but not sure what went wrong and why I could not make it function propertly.

Lets step through this

First Zmud is looking for the function %iNumber so to get around that we need to do this

#SAY @%{1}Number;#SAY @%{i}Number

Second after we fix the first part %i in #FORALL returns the VALUE of item %i in the loop so it is now expanding like this which from the glance over of your code might be what you want.

Item1Number
Item2Number

Also Im not sure exactly what your trying to do cause I didn't fully read it to understand it but maybe this could be better served with a Database Variable?

That works perfectly thank you.
