I'm trying to create an if statment which will watch a variable and act on that variable when certain conditions are met.

The variable in question is something called "GasLeft" which is an integer value I am decrimenting each time I cast a spell. However, I don't want this value to dip below -25. My current function is

%if(@GasLeft < -25,GasLeft = 8)

The problem is that when the conditional is met instead of seting GasLeft equal to 8 it sends "GasLeft = 8" to the mud, which has no idea what I'm talking about.

How do I get Zmud to evaluate this numeric expression rather than deciding it is an actual command?

#IF is a command which executes a command.
%if is a function which returns a value.

You can do what you want using either:

#IF (@GasLeft < -25) {Gasleft = 8}

or

#VAR GasLeft %if(@GasLeft < -25, 8, @GasLeft)

Note that you MUST provide a false-value if you use the %if function. In this case I used @GasLeft.
