To compare strings, you would do something like p2.bucketType $= "red"

Plus, your logic isn't correct as far as I can tell. You are doing a unary logic check to see if p1.bucketType is defined (>0), and then doing an assignment to p2.bucketType to a tagged string, not any comparisions at all.

Guessing at what you really want to do:

--p1.bucketType AND p2.bucketType must contain the string "red"

try:

if (  (p1.bucketType $= "red") &&
      (p2.bucketType $= "red") )
{
  ball1.dismount();
  ball1.mount(b2, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, true);
}

If you just want to compare if they are the same:

if { p1.buckType $= p2.buckType)
{
  // code here
}

Would work ...
