Can someone please tell me how to use IF commands? Or point me in the correct direction. I've already looked at all the local help files.

I'm trying to make bot script and I need it to do certain things if my HP is below a set number, or movement, or whatever.

I appreciate your help.

#if (expression) {true-commands} {false commands}

The false commands are optional.

"Expression" is a mathematical expression. It will come out as either true or false. "1=1" is true, "3<2" is false. "@hp<250" will sometimes be false, and sometimes be true. You'll probably want something like this:

#if (@hp<28672) {flee} {smack @target with a sword}

I'll elaborate a bit on Fang's illustration.

With his script (#if (@hp<28672) {flee} {smack @target with a sword}), the following scenarios would happen.

Your hp: 30000 -> You smack a monster with a sword!
Your hp: 28671 -> You flee from a monster!

If you don't want your script to do anything when your hp is above a certain level, you can have it read like this:

#IF (@hp<25000) {flee}

The statement will execute only if your hp is below 25000. Otherwise, it will do nothing. You can also have it the other way around:

#IF (@hp>25000) {} {flee}

This statement will again only execute if your hp is below 25000. The first {} have nothing inside it, and that's the "true" command.

Anyway, that's some elaboration on the #IF command. You can find more about it in your help files under Help -> Command Reference in zMUD.

By the way, most bots (including the one you're suggesting) are illegal in many MUDs. You may want to check with your Admin team before you use the script, or you may find yourself removed from the game. Aardwolf (the MUD I play) does not allow anything that can be beneficial to the player while that person is away from the keyboard. This script would benefit me because I could initiate combat and walk away knowing that if my HP falls below a certain level, I'll automatically flee. Keep that in mind. Also, don't expect any help from someone if you tell them you're making a bot for botting purposes. Last I heard, Zugg doesn 't allow it, especially since most MUDs don't allow botting.
