Hi Im quite new to scripting been doing it awhile and i've managed to get what i needed working but now i run into a wall.

what i want to do is with a script cast def spells on people comming and asking for it but only to people in the variable

this is what i've been trying to do but it wont work:
sub doRess (name, output, argv)

Dim who
Dim friends
Dim friendlist

who = argv(1)
friends = World.getVariable ("friends")
friendlist = Split(friends,"|")

if who = ("friendlist") then
World.Send "cast summon player ghost " & who & " "
World.doAfter 3, "cast resurrect " & who & " "
World.doAfter 5.2, "cast lolths sanctification " & who & " "

else
world.send "tell " & whot & " sorry no ress"
End if
End sub

any suggestions?

/Giz

One thing that would be helpful is to explain more precisely why it's not working; just saying "it doesn't work" doesn't let us help you very, well, helpfully. :)

You should try looking into the InStr function to see if one string is in another, though.

Your variable friendlist is an array, after you create it with Split.

Thus, you want something along these lines to see if a name is in it:


isfriend = vbFalse

For Each name In friendlist
  If who = name Then
    isfriend = vbTrue
  EndIf
Next

If isfriend Then
  Send "cast summon player ghost " & who & " "
  DoAfter 3, "cast resurrect " & who & " "
  DoAfter 5.2, "cast lolths sanctification " & who & " "
Else
  Send "tell " & who & " sorry no ress"
EndIf
