Ok. I have my HP/Mana/MV set in the status bar. I want it to color my HP red when it gets below 150. I've written the following trigger to save the @var's for it, though I can't seem to make the #VAR store the "<" or ">" in that string.

- Trigger -
Pattern: <(%d)hp (%d)m (%d)mv>
Value:
#VAR hp %1
#IF (%1<=150) {#VAR hp {<color red>@hp</color>}}
#VAR mn %2
#IF (%2<=50) {#VAR mn {<color blue>@mn</color>}}
#VAR mv %3
#IF (%3<=100) {#VAR mv {<color yellow>@mv</color>}}

- Status Bar -
Status Line: Hp: @hp Mana: @mn Mv: @mv

When the variable gets stored it looks like this:
Name: HP
Value: bcolor red433/color/b

How do I get the variable to store as:
Name: HP
Value: <color red>433</color>

Thanks,

#IF (%1<=150) {#VAR hp {%concat("<color red>",@hp,"</color>")}}

Put the colors in the status line instead of the variable.

#ST {Hp: %if(@hp < 151, ~<b~>~<color red~>)@hp%if(@hp < 151, ~<~/color~>~<~/b~>) Mana: @mn Mv: @mv}

I'll leave you to figure out the others, assuming it works.

Alternate method:
#ST {Hp: %if(@hp < 151, %ansi(high,red))@hp%if(@hp < 151, %ansi(black)) Mana: @mn Mv: @mv}

NOTE: < and > are special characters which zMUD uses as delimiters. If you want zMUD to treat them as characters, you have to preface them with the ~ character.

ZMud uses < and > to force expansion. Quoting them when this option is turned on will not work in variables. It can be disabled by unchecking the "Allow <> for expansion" option in the Script Parser Preferences.
