I made a trigger to do a pretty simple IF check.

%1 tells you 'Let me in!"

Then the action is.

#IF (%1=@P1) {Do true stuff} {Do false stuff}

Problem is, it's not doing EITHER. Even if %1 matches @P1 EXACTLY (The player name), it won't run the trigger, true or false. Is there something I need to do to tweak it to where it'll match up Strings (text) instead of numbers? (as I've had no problems with it matching numbers in the past)

Thanks.

You need to put the %1 in the pattern between (), otherwise it won't be saved as a wildcard, and you can't call it with %1 in your value.

#TRIGGER {(%1) tells you 'Let me in!"} {#IF (%1=@P1) {Do true stuff} {Do false stuff}}

Better would be to replace that %1 in your pattern with a more specific wildcard like %w or %x, because the general rule is to only use %1, %2, etc in values, not in patterns.

You might also need to contain @P1 in quotes, though in some circumstances you wont need to.

#TRIGGER {(%w) tells you 'let me in!'} {#IF (%1 = "@P1") {true} {false}

I knew I had to change the wildcard, but I couldn't remember where, so I defaulted back to %1. Thanks for setting me straight all the way around.
