is that even a valid if statement or is this another weird torque syntax thing i dont know about

--- End quote ---

It is equally valid as something like this:

if( isFunction( %function = "func_" @ getRandom( 0, 5 ) ) )
call( %function, collapseEscape( "\\x" @ %val SPC "\\\\" ) );
else
%this.success = %this.parent.success = %success = false;

TorqueScript is a very "flexible" language.

%mg=%prj.client.minigame;
%mc=%search.client.minigame;
%mgo=isObject(%mg);
%mco=isObject(%mco);

if(%mgo == %mco == 1)
{
if(%mg!$=%mc)
{
continue;

}

if(isObject(%search))
{
%obj=%search;
}
break;

Looks excessively complicated, though it could have grown that way due to subtle unexpected engine behaviour. I highly doubt it, so would suggest the alternative:

--- Code: --- while((%found = containerSearchNext()))
   {
   if(%prj.client.minigame == %found.client.minigame)
   {
   %obj = %found;
   break;
   }
   }

--- End code ---

"%mco=isObject(%mco);" is clearly a typo, intended to be "%mco=isObject(%mc);"
"%mgo == %mco == 1" is likely the same as "(%mgo == %mco) == 1", which is redundant. At first I thought it may have been an attempt to imitate a logical XOR through awkward syntax, but "%mg!$=%mc" clearly expects them to both either be objects or not objects.

Ah, but the layout of that makes me think that there was a problem with minigames that no longer existed, and the solution used seems to be overly complex. So...

--- Code: --- while((%found = containerSearchNext()))
   {
   %mg = %prj.client.minigame;
   %mc = %found.client.minigame;

   if((!isObject(%mc) && !isObject(%mg)) || %mc == %mg)
   {
   %obj = %found;
   break;
   }
   }

--- End code ---

Edit: Oops, missed the part about not targeting self, so it would be

--- Code: --- while((%search = containerSearchNext()))
{
if(%prj.client == %search.client)
{
continue;
}

%mg = %prj.client.minigame;
%mc = %search.client.minigame;

if((!isObject(%mc) && !isObject(%mg)) || %mc == %mg)
{
%obj = %search;
break;
}
}

--- End code ---
