On Realms of Dispair, we have an alignment, which can be anything from -1000 to 1000.
Ive made a variable to show my alignment on the status line, but it doesn't seem to like negative numbers. What needs to be done to the variable to allow negatives?

Heres the prompt:
<655/636 837/837 720 (-1000)()(S)(1034708)(7595529)(night)>

I set up the variables under preferences/mud prompt (v6.16), which are:

currhp
maxhp
currmana
maxmana
currmoves
align

when i manually set the value of align to -1000, it goes back to 1000 upon closing the editor. Thanks for any help

I'm guessing that you're using the #SETPROMPT command and that it ignores the - the same way it ignores all other non-numeric characters. This just means you'll have to use a #TRIGGER instead. You don't have to use the entire line as a pattern, only enough to make it unique and provide the numbers for the variables you want.

#TR {~<(%d)/(%d) (%d)/(%d) (%d) ~((%n)~)} {#VAR currhp %1;#VAR maxhp %2;#VAR currmana %3;#VAR maxmana %4;#VAR currmoves %5;#VAR align %6}
