I'm not able to put the shield away. Below is the text from guildx for the part where you stow shield. It seems I need to change the %shield% portion or type the variable correctly. The syntax it sends to the game seems correct. WEAR MY %shield%. Except that it puts the %s on the line. Do you know how I correct it?
BTW: This is what my shield looks like;

Which FE? SF?
If SF, check your SCRIPT / VARIABLE and be sure it's named 'shield'. Then check your 15/15/15 setting - It is likely a 'silver shield' as far as the variable should be concerned. You can quickly confirm this by 'TOUCH MY SILVER SHIELD' and see if it works as you would expect.
If Wiz, confirm the variable name is set right in OPTIONS / VARIABLE ('silver shield'), and then drop the final % out of the script.
You can confirm these will work by typing directly in the command line with the variable. WIZ will auto expand, SF will substitute. So 'WEAR MY %SHIELD' (which should work for both FE) will let you know if you're already wearing it, or wear it. Then if you arrow up, WIZ will have 'WEAR MY SILVER SHIELD' (or whatever is stored in the variable) and SF will have 'WEAR MY %SHIELD'

It's in SF. I don't know what the SCRIPT / VARIABLE or 15/15/15 setting is but I'll scan through it and also try to use it by typing the exact shield description.
The command WEAR MY SHIELD works just fine for this item. If I could get the script to simply put WEAR MY SHIELD instead of WEAR MY %SHIELD% then I think it would work.

Then save the file, and give it a test.

Quite possibly. I'd certainly try it. I'm not sure how a scripted shield behaves inside a script, but it seems like an opportunity for stuff to happen that doesn't need to.
Also a better script. The algorithm looks pretty horrible from the clips you slow, though they might be giving a misleading impression and setting up the match after sending the command is asking for hangups when the string its waiting to match arrives before the match is set up.

Your current settings are:
shield: _a gilded silver phalanx shield_ trimmed with orderly whorls of golvern thorns (worn if possible, stowed otherwise)
That's how it reads in my ready list with a gilded silver phalanx shield underlined and in blue.
It was like that Doug, I've since changed it back and tried again. Here is a more complete look at the self shield stun portion of the script as it is right now.
What I can't understand is why the command sent to the game is WEAR MY %SHIELD%. I may be inputting the .guildx commands wrong with the variables in the wrong place. If this is the third variable with variable One being location (which is not necessary because this script doesn't move around the Guild), Two being the # representing guild skill (in this case stunmans self stun = 34) and Three being the shield...I type it like this .guildx 1 (wehnimers landing) 34 (self stun shield) shield
If I were to type in the full shield description how do I do that to make the words contained or sent to the command line as one variable? Would I put a gilded silver phalanx shield in quotation marks or something?
Also; the command WEAR SHIELD when typed is enough to sling this shield over the shoulder, even without a longer description.

>>What I can't understand is why the command sent to the game is WEAR MY %SHIELD%.
In SF, it always sends the line without the variable expanded (so the command line history will show 'WEAR MY %SHIELD%') even when it's working. SF substitutes the variable with the value just before it goes to the game. So - that part you're describing isn't a surprise to me. I am betting that it is because there isn't a variable in the SF FE to match the '%shield%' line. Why it didn't work with just 'shield' I don't have a good answer for.
First, try these in order in the command line, and keep track of which one works.
1) touch my silver shield
2) touch my phalanx shield
3) touch my gilded shield
on the SF screen, upper right hand corner, there's a (usually) grey bar labled OPTIONS. Click on that and the drop down menu will include SCRIPTS - select that.
You'll get a modal window that should list your scripts in it, and in the lower left hand corner there's a (usually) grey button labeled VARIABLES - click that.
That opens another modal window that should list your variables stored in SF for your scripts. You should see one in there named 'shield'.
If there is one there, highlight it and select EDIT - see what it has in it, and if it's not correct, change it to whichever entry worked above. Then SAVE it, click OKAY, and OKAY again. Then test your script.
If there isn't one there, that's the problem. CREATE one called shield, and put the proper value into it - then SAVE, OKAY and OKAY. Then test your script.
If that doesn't work, or if the 'shield' variable is already set up properly, then edit your script and take out the trailing '%' from that line, so you only have '%shield' there.
Let's see what those do.
