TF uses == for numeric equality and =~ for string equality.
Literal strings should be quoted with single (') or double (") quotes.
See  /help expressions  for more info.

So you could do something like
	/if ({P1} =~ 'Infravision' | {P1} =~ 'Sense danger') \

If you want to use regular expressions (with |) then you should use
regmatch() instead. E.g.
	/if (regmatch('Infravision|Sense danger', {P1})) \

You don't need to use  /then  if the  /if  is followed by brackets. But
otherwise the /if-expression should end with a seperator (%;) before the
/then statement. See  /help if  for details and examples.
