I am trying to make the switch from zmud to cmud
but am having problems I can't get my color triggers to color the text
I have triggers that change the value of variables @malloran = 0 and aliases that do so as well those do not work ether
the @%1 no longer works which if I knew how to acheive the same thing with cmud script I would
I am by no means a coder, do not understand alot of the terminology and the help files do not seems to help explain the concepts to me very well, I wish someone would write a beginners guide to cmud like the several dozen you can find for zmud across the internet
so I have not been able to migrate to cmud because I do not know how to acheive the same results for simple things that I could do in the zmud client.
sorry for the rant
the reason I wanted to start using cmud is the settings editor,I like the look and feel of it and because I hear it is faster
almost all of my triggers I get the message it fired but failed to compile

I am not sure if the following helps the problem - it will be easier if you give complete example triggers and variables.
You can also describe what you want to achieve ...

Anyways: You can either use the command

#var malloran 0
OR
malloran = 0

That should change the variables as you want.

For more information on variables go to the help Menue in CMUD, the enter #variable as search string
In general the help file is your friend ...

Here you find the Zmud Migration file:

Cheers - it starts to be real fun if the first pain subsides ...

@variable = value is no longer valid, you need to use variable = value. Subtle difference, but important.

For @%1 (which is a stupid syntax anyway), you need to use @{%1}. You can do anything in the brackets you could do elsewhere - @{%concat("hello",$var)} for example.
