Variable: wounds an occasional twitching in the neck| some tiny scars across the left arm|some tiny scars across the left eye| a small skin rash| a few nearly invisible scars along the skin

Variable: esleftarm some tiny scars across the left arm|minor scarring along the left arm|severe scarring along the left arm|severe scarring and ugly gashes about the left arm|severe scarring and chunks of flesh missing from the left arm|a severely scarred, mangled and malformed left arm|an ugly flesh stump for a left arm

Variable: Myfreshexternals

I am doing something wrong. I assume it is with %ismember, I tried it with %pos too, neither work. My guess is you cannot check a string of variables against a string. Any suggestions?

Also, can you add multiple variables to %ismember...

eg: %ismember( abc, @yes OR @no OR @maybe)

You're right, your use of %ismember is wrong. The easiest way to do this kind of comparison is with #forall:

match=""
#forall @listone {#if %ismember(%i,@listtwo) {match=%i;#abort}}

I've also moved your post to the zMUD discussion forum, since this forum is for completed scripts you want to share with the public.

It looks like part of your problem is with the line "#VAR currentwound %item( @wounds, 1)", as that won't change at all with the loop. The correct version of that line is "#VAR currentwound %item( @wounds, %i)", but #FORALL is still a better way to handle this.

You will also have a problem with the item in @esleftarm of "a severely scarred, mangled and malformed left arm". The use of %subchar eliminates commas and that particular item contains a comma so it will never be able to match.
