hi hi hi...

i just got though reading a post on this board that i so happened to need help with... although it seemed some what to help a bit it didnt excatly fit what what i needed..... the post is http://forums.zuggsoft.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=19532

ok recently i posted on how to add a variable with the #add thing in part of my trigger and the help with it was wonderful, now i need help with something else kinda in the same department.... i think....

..... this is what it looks like.

%eval( %4+@thingiwannacount)

the %4 represents part of the trigger i want to count up to which begining of the trigger it has a

#add the%4partofmytrigger 1

what i was wondering how to do is this

1. a variable or something along that line where i can set the amount that will beable to count down each time the trigger is activated.

2. it needs to be able to be the correct amount each time i log on..

for instance.... say the trigger is this

Trigger
so and so gave you somuch of something.

how the numbers fit in
%1 and %2 gave you %3 of %4.

how it would look if i used a variable or something to subtract it each time trigger was activated?

variable = amounthere

%1 and %2 gave you %3 of %4 only need %eval(%4-@amounthere) more.

which should show in a window or something like

so and so gave you somuch of something only need newamountgoal more.

I dont know if im explaining what my mind has spinning around for this trigger... or that even the thing would be a variable. all i want is for some number or some equasion that i put in to be able to be counted down each time the trigger is activated and that it will remember it without me haveing to type in the amountgoal everytime i log on or use zmud... =\ please help me.... im not very good at this stuff but i try to learn as much as i can.... thank you all for taking the time to read this long post..

First of, %eval is only to show, it doesn't really save the variable

example:
#var amount 100
%eval {@amount - 50} = this will show 50 on the screen, and the variable amount will still be 100

If you want to subtract the 50 from the amount. You will need to use the #math or #add

i.e.
#var amount 100
#add amount -50 = amount is now 50
#show @amount = this should show 50 on the screen

2) what do you mean by do correct amount?

Could someone show me some possible ways to use the #math part with this idea i have? i do wish it to count down each time the trigger is activated. different uses and various ways would be nice

The zMUD help gives a very good example on how to use the #math function.

i.e.

1) #math mvp (@xp_cur / (%3 + (24 * (%2 + (%1 * 7)))))

2) #math mp_per (@mp_cur*100/@mp_max)

3) #math tick (@tick + 1)

Is this enough? multiplication/division/addition/subtraction are all here
