Hello,

I have two things here. First off how do I convert this into a nested if. Been trying but too many Syntax errors and I cant figure out where it is wrong. Here is the version that is not nested:

#var hitpoints %1
#if (%1 <= 10) {#cw 576}
#if (%1 >= 11 & %1 <= 79) {#cw 524}
#if (%1 >= 80 & %1 <= 149) {#cw 12}
#if (%1 >= 150 & %1 <= 219) {#cw 14}
#if (%1 >= 220 & %1 <= 280) {#cw 10}
#if (%1 >= 281 & %1 <= 499) {#cw 9}
#if (%1 >= 500) {#cw 159}

Next question is... Is there a better way to do this:

#alias drin {
buy liqueur
#gag
drink liqueur
#gag
kill @target
#gag
drop glass
#gag
hp
#gag
}

I dont like to be spammed by the commands but I cannot turn off the ECHO COMMANDS options becuase I like to see most of the commands just not drinking becuase its done so often.

Thanks,

#var hitpoints %1
#if (%1 <= 10) {#cw 576} {#if (%1 >= 11 & %1 <= 79) {#cw 524} {#if (%1 >= 80 & %1 <= 149) {#cw 12} {#if (%1 >= 150 & %1 <= 219) {#cw 14} {#if (%1 >= 220 & %1 <= 280) {#cw 10} {#if (%1 >= 281 & %1 <= 499) {#cw 9} {#if (%1 >= 500) {#cw 159}}}}}}}

You want to #SEND the command then:

#alias drin {
#SEND {buy liqueur}
#SEND {drink liqueur}
#SEND {kill @target}
#SEND {drop glass}
#SEND {hp}
}

There's no need to nest the #IF statements since you've included the precise range for each. However, the most common syntax error in nested code is mismatched delimiters (), {}, etc. That is, having more on the left side (, {, etc. than on the right side ), }, etc. or vice-versa.

If you don't want to see commands, perhaps check out #SEND, which SHOULD send the subsequent text directly to the mud without posting it to the window as well.

Thanks for the help guys!

I would have thought that nesting the #IFs would have made it more efficient so that it wouldnt have to test each and every line but it looks like it still tests the whole thing.

Once again guys thanks a bunch for the help.
