I'm trying to make a crude display showing active prots on my char using zmud 7.21.

This is what I have so far:

Name:
Prots

Value:
#echo ---------- Prots ----------
#IF @rage=1 {#echo | Rage is UP |}
#IF @rage=0 {#echo | Rage is DOWN |}
#IF @AC=1 {#echo | AC is UP |}
#IF @AC=0 {#echo | AC is DOWN |}
#echo ---------------------------

For some reason it won't add those extra spaces after the UP and DOWN messages, leaving just one space before the |.

What I would also like is to colour the prots which are UP to blue and those that are DOWN in red. Also a yellow border and bold green title (Prots).

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks in advance.

Quote the echos. Instead of:

#ECHO | Rage is UP |

do:

#ECHO "| Rage is UP |"

This is true for any and all strings. Single spaces usually get by, but multiple spaces will always need quotes.

As for color, just put it like so:

#ECHO "| Rage is "%ansi(yellow)"UP "(reset)"|"

Or whatever colors you want.

OK thanks!

You put quite a few quotes in that, one for the whole string, one for the colour and one each around the reset. Is there a help file that shows the syntax?

Also, am I doing the IF statements in the most efficient manner? or should I use #else ?

Thanks

The quotes are only around the string parts. Take a closer look and you'll see.

Also, there isn't an #ELSE command, but you can make it better by doing:

To elaborate on the usage of %if(@rage, instead of %if(@rage=1, etc

If a variable has a value to it other than zero, it is considered true. Therefore, by asking if the variable has a value, it will return true or false.

The %if function syntax is simple.

%if(expression,then,else)
