I've been writing some useful tips on coding style that I thought I would share with everyone. The article linked below focuses on keeping your code compact and readable. It also covers boolean logic. As a bonus, it has some sample code to show how to easily create items that heal or damage players.
The subject of keeping code compact has come up a couple of times recently on the board, so I thought it was a good place to start. I have seen a few examples of questions where someone will post code that is a bit longer and more complex than it needs to be. I just hope this can help someone:

Please let me know if this was helpful. No feedback means I won't bother writing more.

I'll be sure to check it out when possible, Skysaw!
I'm having the troubles others are having. I'll try tomorrow =) | |
The above mentioned document is available again (at least until my hosting service blows up again). Feel free to steal code you find there for your own evil needs.
