help with a bit of code:

Hello,
I've got the following error:
[string "Trigger: "]:5: '=' expected near 'direction'
and the code is:
world.send "say to imp perch"
world.send "ff"
world.send "ff"
world.send "ff"
dim direction
direction = world.GetVariable("dir")
if (dir = "east") then
world.send "east"
else
world.send "west"
end if
Any ideas why this is not working?
Thanks,

Well, just glancing at it, I notice you're using dir instead of direction in the one place. Also, which language is this in?

hello,
Dir is the variable stored within mush. I'm getting that var with my script.
and it's in vbs.
Thanks,

First, you have a mistake in the script.



This is saying "declare a VB variable called 'direction' and place the contents of the Mushclient variable 'dir' in it". But in the next line, you are using a 'dir' variable:



This is not the same as the Mushclient variable 'dir', this is an unknown VB variable 'dir', so the direction will never be east. This line should be:



Second, this script gave me no errors, no matter if I placed the code in a script file or in the trigger "Send" box (with "Send to: Script" enabled). Are you sure you selected "VBScript" in the script configuration screen? It's set to Lua by default.
