Okay, admittedly I'm a newbie when it comes to Zmud and all this, but I'm trying to write my own script (someone should've slapped me when I thought of it!).

Two things are stopping me at the moment. Firstly, I should explain a bit about the system I'm writing this for. An unarmed combatant in Ice9's inferno, UA is pretty intense on the fingerwork to keep the combo's coming. You take a stance, and then there are 3 strikes you can use for that stance, a piercing attack, a blunt attack, and a slashing attack. Each creature in an area is weak against one of the three types of damage, and heavily armored against the other two. So I decide which type of damage I want to use, and I put the creature in a list of variables called 'slashers' for instance. Now I tried to make an #if statement that'd check to see if my current opponent was in either of the 3 groups, (I made a variable for each type of damage, and add creatures to the list as I hunt them.) and then use a strike I've already predefined in a variable with my stance. My problem is, that the #if statement checks to see if the opponent variable is true, and therefor doesn't work.

I tried #if (@opponent=@slashers) {strike @opponent with @slashstrike} which ironically didn't work, if I take out the '=' in the first part, it works... But the problem is that if it's not a slashing creature I need to follow it up with 2 more if statements, and all 3 will come out as 'true' and it'll try to strike the opponent with all 3 strikes, since all 3 statements are coming out as true. It's driving me crazy! Any advice?

I also have a question on the timer but I'll search a bit more before I clutter up the boards with questions that've probably already been asked, and are just hard to search out.

It's enough to make me go sane!
