I have a trigger set up to count the number of improvements on my skills.
Like this

#TR {You have become better at (*)!} {#math %1 @%1+1}

It works fine for skills like brew and scribe but when i improve at a skill with 2 words like enhanced damage and fast healing things go wrong. A new class is created named '@enhanced' with a variable in it named '@enhanced' and a value of 'damage'.
How do i prevent something like this to happen without setting up a special trigger for every skill?

Hmm...Can think of two ways:

1.) #TR {You have become better at (*)!} {#VAR SkillName %replace("%1"," ","");#MATH @SkillName (@{@SkillName}+1)

2. #TR {You have become better at (*)!} {#MATH {%1}...not sure how to finish this one, I tried a few ways and cant get a multiword variable to work in the #MATH command.

1 just uses a new variable which strips the spaces from the name, 2 /should/ be able to make multiword variables work...some how. Hope this helps.

You need to keep it simple.

#TRIGGER {You have become better at (*)!} {
skillname = %replace( %1, " ", "_")
#addkey skills @skillname [%db( @skills, @skillname) + 1]
}

The above trigger stores the data in a variable record. As you see it replaces whitespace with an underscore.

of course. Should have thought about that myself. And with that database variable it is a lot easier to keep track of all the values. Thanks!
