When this fires....

Ok... My bad. That line DOES work, when I enter that in directly. But its part of an alias... Here's the alias:

Firstly you should really look into using STRING LIST VARIABLES instead of arrays. But that has nothing to do with your current problem.

#send {%concat("k ",%arrget( mob_list, @arrnext)," .",%item( @key_list, %eval( @arrnext + 1)))}

That is unless k is an alias. In that case you may want to do this.

k %concat(%arrget( mob_list, @arrnext)," .",%item( @key_list, %eval( @arrnext + 1)))

CMUD is sometimes picky about implicit concatenation and wants you to explicitly tell it when something should be treated as a string literal.
When you put something into concat, you know the results will be returned, and treated as a string. Cool

That's not actually the issue here, though. The problem is this:

#if (@end_cur > @end_min) {@attack %arrget(mob_list, @arrnext)~.%item( @key_list, %eval( @arrnext + 1))}

See this help file.

Hmmm... I'l hafta look into this "string list variable"... I'm not what you call a smart man. (LOVE that forest gump! LoL!) But... For the time being, I'd like to get this working, and then I'll make it more efficient. =]

AWESOME!

You might find that #send or #sendraw is better for some applications, though - in this case, I expect that @attack will be the name of an alias, so they won't help.

well... @attack is the type of attack that is set with a different alias. just used to change up how i initiate battle depending on the area i'm at.

i've actually been looking at how i can remove the array's into the string's... but... i don't know if i'm quite to that level yet. easy to do? some good reading links on zuggsoft? i've tried searching, but i just come up with results on what the different type of variables there are, and not really some good examples on how to implement it. *shrug*

thanks for ya'lls help by the way! =D

If you've mastered arrays, stringlists are a complete piece of cake. Based on the level of difference in development between the two features, stringlists are probably 10x easier to use. ZMud let us do some really amazing things with stringlists that even Zugg didn't even consider, but CMud shook that up a bit.

This is probably a good start.
