please respond,
thanks

Example-
mob
var
verbon=0

verb
if (usr.verbon=0)
usr<<"you turn it on"
else
usr<<"you turn it off"

Wow... That did exactly what he didn't want it to do.

1. You didn't define an actual verb..
2. That would do nothing but always display "you turn it on".
<code> mob var my_var = 0 verb My_Verb() if(!my_var) usr << "You turn on the verb." usr.my_var = 1 else usr << "You turn off the verb." usr.my_var = 0 </code>

Is that what you need?

Rcet, it would also return missing expression (since it was = and not ==) =)

Or....
mob/var/switch=0
mob/verb/TurnSwitch()
    switch = !switch
