Help with /if syntax

[invis]

Hiya Folks --

Tryin to write a simple merchant checking macro, and having issues with numeric comparisons.

to test the comparison, I'm using the folowing line, after clicking on a Feather in an open merchant window.

Code: Select all

/if (${SelectedItem.ID}==${Merchant.Item[=Feather].ID}) { /echo Yes }

This returns nothing. However, if I change the /if to /echo like:

Code: Select all

/echo (${SelectedItem.ID}==${Merchant.Item[=Feather].ID}) { /echo Yes }

I get

Code: Select all

(13094==13094) {//echo Yes}

in the MQ window, which is what I'd expect to see. So, theoretically, the two IDs are equivalent. Both types come down to ints, according to the posts, if I'm reading it right.

Can anyone shed some light on why a numeric comparison isn't working?

Thanks!

Your problem is that you can't have your opening curly brace and closing one on the same line, do it like this:

Code: Select all

/if (${SelectedItem.ID}==${Merchant.Item[=Feather].ID}) {
    /echo Yes 
}

Or like this

/if (${SelectedItem.ID}==${Merchant.Item[=Feather].ID}) /echo Yes
