Question 1

#if (%numitems(@herbaffs) > 3 and !@focusaffs.stupidity and !@focusaffs.confused and !@focusaffs.reckless) {focus}

Thats the script i want to use. @focusaffs is a stringlist and i want to check if it has stupidity and a few other things in it if it doesnt i want it to fire off a comand like focus. The problem is !@focusaffs.stupidity doenst work.

I thought that the syntax !@focusaffs.stupdity was correct so what im asking is there a simple way to do this instead of using

If %ismember( stupidity,@focusaffs) {} {next nested If statement}

Question 2

Is it possible to add more than one thing in additem

eg #additem focusaffs stupidity will add stupidity but what if i want to add 3 things i thought it was #additem focusaffs {stupidity|confusion|reckless}
but this adds stupidity|confusion|reckless as one item

anyhelp on any of the questions would be greatly appreciated

This should work but is untested:

Question 1 works fine as you've done it already

herbaffs = a|b|c|d|e
focusaffs.stupidity = 0
focusaffs.confused = 0
focusaffs.reckless = 0
#if (%numitems(@herbaffs) > 3 and !@focusaffs.stupidity and !@focusaffs.confused and !@focusaffs.reckless) {focus} {}

does fire as expected. I just added an empty else statement to the end to ensure nothing was ambiguous

Question 2, I think #ADDITEM is only for single items. Fairly simple way to do multiple ones with not much more writing is
#FORALL "test1|test2|test3" {#ADDITEM Test %i}

focusaffs.stupidiy doesnt work for me at all, does the is the .stupidity part only work for db vars or does it work for stringlists aswell

used this for an example

#additem focusaffs stupid
#if @focusaffs.stupid {ok} {no}

returns no

#additem focusaffs stupid
will add the string "stupid" to the variable 'focusaffs'

@focusaffs.stupid doesn't then query whether the variable 'focusaffs' contains the value "stupid"
it returns the value associated with the key 'stupid', it's shorthand for %db(@focusaffs, stupid)

to see if three things exist in a stringlist you need to use %ismember

No need to use nested #IFs though
Since %ismember returns 0 if it doesn't exist, but the position in the list if it does - any non 0 number equates to TRUE, so you can just do
#if (%numitems(@herbaffs) > 3 && %ismember( stupidity,@focusaffs) && !%ismember( confused,@focusaffs) && !%ismember( reckless,@focusaffs)) {focus} {}

note, I've replaced the and's with && (I think this is supported syntax for CMUD)
