Let's say I have 5 different afflictions. The afflictions are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. To cure the 5 afflictions, I need to eat 5 different herbs to cure these 5 different afflictions. Herb A for affliction 1, B for affliction 2, C for affliction 3, D for affliction 4, and E for affliction 5. I want to make a trigger to cure one of these afflictions when the line "You can now eat another herb" shows up, but I can only cure one at a time, and I'd like to cure affliction A before B, C, D, and E...affliction B before C, D, and E..etc. Normally, I'd use some type of if statements to do this such as:

#if (@affliction1) {eat a} {}
#if (@affliction2) {eat b} {}
#if (@affliction3) {eat c} {}
etc.

But this won't work because if I have all 5 afflictions, it will eat all 5 herbs at once. How can I make it so not only will it eat just one herb, but that it will do it in order of higher priority to lower priority? I could always stick the other #if commands in the second pair of {}, but I'd imagine it would get very confusing and complex if I did that for all the different herbs. I'm a zMUD novice so when you explain a solution, please explain which commands and functions you're using and what they do so I can understand completely. Thanks.

well i do belive that triggers are checked in the order that the are made... if not go into the settings editor

View - Sort by - None

then just click and drag the triggers so that the most important one is closer to the top..

though if you can still eat the other herbs immediately after healing the first this may not help

Do a search dor Achaea defences. Basically the way to do it is to set up a variable that keeps track of your herb balance, and every other balance. Then your triggers will have an #IF statement that checks for herb balance being true. The reason I say search the posts for this is that there is an excellent thread concerning queuing the herbs and other items so that it remembers you still need to eat it and in which order if you are afflicted with more than one at a time.
