I am using Zmud for FederationII. I am attempting to use a trigger to detect my current stockpile of a commodity and if the stockpile is full issue a command to bump the maximum allowable stockpile up.

Here is what the MUD shows:

Cereals: value 245ig/ton Spread: 15% Stock: current 685/min 100/max 1100 Efficiency: 113%

Here is what I have so far:

#trigger {Cereals: value * Spread: * Stock: current &%dcurrent/*/max &%dmax} {
#if @current=@max
#add max 50
set cereals max @max
}

I have this in the value box in the editor and Cereals in the pattern box.
This will detect the current and max settings, put them into a variable correctly, but always adds 50 to my max stockpile rather than only when max=current. I also tried adding a 'false' command with something like Say Cereals are not full now. The false is not necessary, but only want the command to increase maximum stockpile if current=max. I have yet been unable to determine whether I am using the #IF command #ADD commands properly or if my syntax is just wrong or if those are the right commands to use. Any help would be appreciated.

Your problem is the #IF syntax. You basically have a test condition but no code to run for either a true or false result, and the other two commands are treated as separate from the #IF they are supposed to be contained in.

Two changes to use proper syntax:
1)parentheses around the condition -- (@current = @max)
2)curly braces around the commands for the true condition code and the false condition code (if there are no commands for the latter, the braces are not necessary) -- {#add max 50;set cereals max @max}

Thank you for the quick reply. I made the changes you suggested. Those were used in the past, but did them again for good measure. With those changes made, the editor indicates a syntax error with the curly bracket before the #ADD syntax. Here is what the script looks like with your suggested changes (in case I did not apply your suggestions properly).

#trigger {Cereals: value * Spread: * Stock: current &%dcurrent/*/max &%dmax} {
#if (@current=@max){#add max 50
set cereals max @max}{Say Cereals are not full.}
}

Once again this is in the 'Value' box inside the editor and Cereals is in the Pattern box.

Thanks again.

Missing some spaces where there should be spaces

#trigger {Cereals: value * Spread: * Stock: current &%dcurrent/*/max &%dmax} {
#if (@current=@max) {
#add max 50
set cereals max @max
} {Say Cereals are not full.}
}
