Well, it's certainly a Lua script...ish. Some parts are still pseudo code. In the "rareringstop" trigger, the put rare bag should be Send( "put rare bag" ), and the line two lines down from that should be modified in the same way. Also, you will need to open the script file (the one listed when you press ctrl-shift-6) and add in lines that say:


stats = 0
highstat = 0

I know I've seen this ring test somewhere in the forums before at some point earlier this year. Might want to search the forums for the earlier thread, as it might give you more information.

It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.

Did you copy everything into the script file instead of putting them in with the triggers and aliases? That's the only thing I can think of which would cause that error. Just follow the directions that Nick posted at the end of the other thread.

No, the 0s are just there to make the variables contain something. This way they are preserved instead of getting discarded after each trigger. They are just counters making sure that the total stats on a ring are 60, and that one of those stats is either a +35 or a +25.

You are mixing systems a bit here. If you look inside the trigger window (in the send box), this is OK. However inside the XML part the "<" symbol is being interpreted as the start of an element (like <trigger> or <send>). Hence the message.

Inside the XML, you need to make it:


if highstat &lt; %2 then

I fixed this error up in the thread here: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=8194

Again, this is why it becomes difficult when a question is spread over several threads.
