I have a toggle that also has alias to manipulate the turning on and off scripts.

However, whenever I leave the mud or reconnect, I need to make sure that my buttons are reflecting the correct state.

For instance,
An XP COUNTER...

I can type startxp and it will echo on the screen, "XP IS ON"
If I type stopxp, it will echo "XP IS OFF"

Basically I created a TOGGLE BUTTON to turn this on and off. What I would like to do is basically type "stopxp" or "startxp" and depending on whether it is on or off, it will change the state of the buttons to match it.

What's the best way to do this?

Use the Variable field in the Advanced tab of the button. The specified variable will change when the button is pushed and the button will change when the variable is changed.

I'm a bit confused. Here is what I have for the button "advanced"

ID: xpcounter
Variable: xpcountercheck
Value: 0

#Trigger {Xpcounter is disabled.} {#var xpcountercheck 0}

However, whenever I press the button, it becomes a push button as opposed to a toggle. So if I turn it on, it doesn't change state. What am I doing wrong?

You don't need the Value field to contain anything. Value tells ZMud what the state is, and since you have to set to 0 the toggle button never gets to reach the pushed-down (1) state.
