You are testing equality here, so you need the double equal signs. This is saying "is 3 equal to 4?" Obviously it is not, but since 8 is greater than 2, the whole thing is true. So the result is Is 3 = 4 or 8 > 2?true This post has been edited by Martyr2: 19 Nov, 2008 - 03:01 PM

I don't know if it's RPGMXP or my language. This post has been edited by ShadowKyogre: 19 Nov, 2008 - 03:04 PM

Make sure that you have dumped any cached files it might be using and saving your change correctly. Sounds like you need a refresh somewhere.
