I need help with this IfThen Statement in my gui

[quick_sliver007]

Can some one help me with this. If so you have my thanks.

Func _1()

If $questA = "combat", then

GUICreate("combat",$GUIWidth,$GUIHeight)

GuiSetState()

EndIf

EndFunc

The problem is that it just says combat in the label;;;;;;;;$questA = IniRead ("questA.ini", "quest", $currentvalue, "error in questa" )

GUICtrlCreateLabel ($questA, 1, 1, 500, 400) ;;;;I had to add that in so you know what I am talking about... If it helps here is everything I have. Well what I have of it.

That is all the files I have on this. This is how what I have works, you press the button A or B and it reads from the quest file. The way it knows what line to read is that it stores the number of presses of the A and B buttons to the file named counterIni.

What I am tring to do is to make it launch a new Gui for combat. Using a key word off of the ini files named questA or questB and after the combat( if the player lives) to go back to the first Gui. The key word is combat. Feel free to offer any advice. I am still a newbie, I just found out about AutoIT 3 about there weeks ago and I have no other programming knownledge. I know this project is over my head and I have a lot to learn and a lot more to write , but how else am I going to learn . If you can help me, then you have my thanks. If anyone wants to walk me though this project all the way I will share the credits with you. Every game has to have credits.
