After trying this script then asking for help I was able to find my mistakes as well as a few tips to make things better. This script has been tested and bugs worked out. This script allows memberes of a room to write a story line by line and then read what others have added. the script requires 2 txt files located in story folder in add ons / plug ins folder, the first being story.txt which is the actual story, and the second is lines.txt which is the line count to read by. the first one can be blank to start off with the second needs to start with a number in it, usually 0 for a blank story. The commands are !story -- to tell about the create a story in room, !readstory -- to have story sent to you in /message form, !addstory <new line here> -- this is to add story lines, and !newstory -- clears old story and lines files to start a new story; only for hosts preferably. If you like the idea great. use as you like

<in condition="4" lvalue="%NAME%" rvalue="<who can add here>">!addstory %PARAMETER%</in>
whats the format for adding other names?   i've tried....

<in condition="4" lvalue="%NAME%" rvalue="reef,anotherusername">!addstory %PARAMETER%</in>
<in condition="4" lvalue="%NAME%" rvalue="reef;anotherusername">!addstory %PARAMETER%</in>

have tried duplicating the line and replacing my name with another user name... cant get it to work for any others

i've only used usergroups b4... not sure how to add more names this way..... any advice would be
appreciated....

you can either use a room tag in this section if one is available, or you could set up a user group for those that you want, and then you have to make the line to reed for usergroup, last thing you could do is open to all by taking out the condition and l and r values, this can lead to dangerous stuff if an untrusted person decides to add.
