What it's -supposed- to do is this:

Today is the 17th of Estar, 184 years after the Coming of Estarra. The phase of the moon is that of the Waxing Crescent.
[Herb System]: The following herbs are in hibernation: merbloom, flax, myrtle, weed.

What it does however is this:

Today is the 17th of Estar, 184 years after the Coming of Estarra. The phase of the moon is that of the Waxing Crescent.
[Herb System]: The following herbs are in hibernation: flax, flax, myrtle, weed.

#trigger{^Today is the (%d){st|nd|rd|th} of (%w), (%d) years after the Coming of Estarra. The phase of the moon is that of (*).$} {
#local $alert
#forall @herbHibernation.%lower(%2) {
#switch ($alert=%null) {
$alert = %i
} ($alert!=%null) {
$alert = %concat($alert,", ",%i)
}
}
herbSysAlert The following herbs are in hibernation: $alert.}

(didn't know how to list the variable so.. here we go)
#LOOPDB @herbHibernation {#SAY Key - %key Value - %val}
Key - date Value - dioni
Key - estar Value - merbloom|flax|myrtle|weed
Key - urlachmar Value - kafe
Key - kiani Value - colewort
Key - dioni Value - calamus|earwort|juniper|kombu|sage
Key - vestian Value - wormwood|horehound
Key - avenchary Value - mistletoe
Key - dvarsh Value - sparkleberry
Key - tzarin Value - reishi|sargassum
Key - klangiary Value - arnica|pennyroyal
Key - juliary Value - coltsfoot|faeleaf
Key - shanthin Value - galingale|marjoram|rosehips
Key - roarkian Value - chervil|yarrow

As far as I've seen the issue seems to be $alert having the same value as %i.

If I change the code to this:

#local $alert
#forall @herbHibernation.%lower(%2) {
#switch ($alert=%null) {
$alert = %i
#echo $alert
} ($alert!=%null) {
#echo $alert
}
}

Today is the 17th of estar, 184 years after the Coming of Estarra. The phase of the moon is that of the Waxing Crescent.
merbloom
flax
myrtle
weed

I only set $alert -once-, it should remain at 'merbloom' the whole time however it changes each time as if it was %i instead.

EDIT: It only happens if $alert has the same value as %i. If I set $alert to 'merbloom1' for example it would execute fine.

Any idea what I could do to fix that?

Yep, that was a bug in v1.34. It was assigning the direct pointer of %i to the $alert variable, and changing $alert then had the side effect of changing %i. This is already fixed for v2.0.

You could use %expandlist to accomplish those many lines with just one line, by the way. Smile
