First your use of #WAIT really needs to be changed. #WAIT is horribly bugged. Second the usage in #IF is not correct which is why you are having trouble.

Viji's already fixed your pattern, but just for future reference, the star matches any character as many times as it can. This means that the pattern "* *" is wasteful, because "*" on its own will match just as well.

Just noticed a problem with that pattern. You should use this instead:

the #wait command is used to recover balance.
if you try to pick a poison, it will need to wait a while and then you regain equilibrium "Right hand Ready."

thanks for the edited script

EDIT:
There are forty-nine batches of wyg here.

it stops picking if this has a "-"
trying to fix that on my own...

This is a really old problem from Avalon. There are many people who already have different working versions of this script. I know cause I have written three and seen others. It would likely be easier to ask people for theirs... Sorry, I'm not passing out mine and you may find that is the general answer but It is worth asking people.

This also vaguely resembles a clear-picking script. Highly frowned upon by almost everyone.

If you look around in the forums people have posted about number converting functions to change numbers from their word form to an actual number. From say forty-nine to 49 and then pick or not pick based on the number of an herb or poison in the room.

There {is a|are} (*) batch{es|} of (%w) here.$

Use the number converting function on %1 then pick the %2. Or just compare %2 to a list of poisons/herbs that you are wanting to pick.

#if (@numberConvert(%1)>@pickLimit) {pickNumber=(@pickLimit-@numberConvert(%1))}
Do other stuff...

This script can range from very complex to somewhat simple.

I also suggest you do away with the #wait command in your script and move on to a trigger based approach.

#trigger {Right hand ready.} {check a variable to see what you are picking and how many are left to pick. Are you preparing this time or picking. are you done?}

Avalon has been known to NOT send the Right hand ready line every time, especially in the presence of a power ritual so you may wish to use Vigilante's suggestion of an #alarm trigger instead of waiting on the "Right hand ready." message.

2 seconds isn't ALWAYS the time required to get back your balance sometimes it is slightly less sometimes it is slightly more. I suggest 2.5 seconds if you are going with the alarm over the trigger. Personally I used the Right hand ready in my scripts.

Apologies, as I didn't follow the scripts through completely before posting.

My brain processed that the script would pick everything clean as it was and threw the rest out the window...
Never mind what you were TRYING to accomplish.

Vijilante's example is how that particular IF method should be used. It is so elegant that I just never thought of it.
Though it is clear from his confusion that he's no ranger; he did understand your meaning.

Please disregard my laziness/bone-pigheadednesses...

not sure wether to start a new topic or not, but anyhow, i got another problem. when i tried fighting with some strong guy and i had him pinned i tried spitting shirolos on him.
well, seems like i had a problem with still having another target set and i was issueing the command : spit shirolos at scorp fran, and then order scorp fran drop 10000 gold, which was completely fault.

i decided to make a trigger on this

Firstly yes you should have started another thread. New problem = new thread.

This makes it easier for people to search the forums for a solution.

Now this although it is a scripting question is more of a logical and in game problem.

If your target were incorrect how is it that you managed to spit in ANYONE's face?
Answer if it were incorrect then you wouldn't have succeeded at all.

So this trigger would not help you. Generally if you have a single @target variable and use it within all of your scripts you won't have a problem with being able to stab/jab someone and not spit at them.

Oh, and you might look into using ucklice and wirren... In case your scripts weren't to blame.
