13 < 7
|
I've run into a snag where 13 < 7 returns true:
| Code: |
#SHOW %item(@varname,3),%item(@varname,5).
#SHOW %if(%item(@varname,3) < %item(@varname,5), true, false)
#SHOW %if(13 < 7, true, false)
|
Output:

ZMud is pretty picky about stuff like that. I don't have it open atm so I can't test, but...
| Code: |
#show %if(%eval(%item(@varname,3)) < %eval(%item(@varname,5)), true, false)
|
Should do the trick.

That did it. I must have messed up a parenthesis trying that the first time. Thanks

The actual problem that causes it is how zMud interprets some values. When using %item the value returned has a hidden set of quotes and is treated as a string. In a string comparison "7 " is less then "70", and equally "6a" is less then "7". The use of %eval that Prognoi suggested removes the string behavior and causes the higher level comparison to operate with a numeric behavior instead of alphabetic. Hopefully the explanation helps you to understand any thing else in your script that behaves similarly.
