It's the %1%2 syntax it doesn't like. You need to change it to this:

#var %concat(%1,%2) okay

EDIT: Also, neat. The ($localvar:wildcard) syntax works with string lists in triggers. So you could change them to ($limb:{arm|leg}) if you wanted. I only mention it because I now have an immense hatred of the %nn syntax and like to get rid of it anywhere I possibly can ^_^

Guinn, you need to remember the big difference between CMUD and zMUD: In zMUD, the %1..%99 were handled as string replacements in the script BEFORE the script was parsed. So in your example, %1 and %2 are replaced with the text, resulting in the script "leftleg = okay" which would then be parsed and executed.

In CMUD, %1..%99 are handled as normal variable references and are replaced during the parsing and compiling. This means that it's the script "%1%2 = okay" that is parsed and compiled, and this is invalid syntax for a variable assignment.

When you need to perform a trick with the pre-substitution of %1..%99 in CMUD, you need to use the #EXEC command. For example:

#EXEC {%1%2 = okay}

would do what you wanted. This creates a string and then executes it, which is essentially what zMUD was doing.
