You cannot use the
${} == format for
strings. A string is a series of letters and numbers, or just letters. For example, a word is a string of letters. For the purposes that you need to think about, if the word isn't TRUE or FALSE (which translate to 1 and 0 in computer language, the most basic concepts in binary and thus able to be translated without more work), then it's a string, and MQ2 needs to use other tools to think about it. While the ${}== script can interpret numbers to the right of the "==", that's it.
To interpret a string, the correct format has already been posted...(${Zone.ShortName.Equal[]}). If you want something more flexible, though, you could try THIS for a more generic format:
Code:
/if (${Zone.ID}==${Zone[Corathus].ID})
This is also a whole lot more flexible in that you can put any ShortName of a zone in there and get the ID. I don't remember if that's the correct ShortName for Corathus, but w/e.
PS -- to translate what was said above...
"==" is used in MQ2 script when you want to check if two things are equal, the same, etc. The use of a single "=" is used to indicate when you want to change the current value of something to a new value. For a rough example (not intended to be 100% valid macro script, just to illustrate the point):
Code:
To figure out what value we want to use:
/if (${Me.Male}) /varset AmIMale=1
/if (${Me.Female}) /varset AmIMale=0
then to use what we figured out earlier:
/if (${AmIMale}==1) /dothis
/if (${AmIMale}==0) /dothat
That's not actually exactly the correct use of /varset, but hopefully will give you an idea of the correct usage of "==" and "=". Honestly, you'll really never need "=" when writing in MQ2Script.
