Where to begin. A friend of mine made me a script. It's a skill checking script. Basically when a skill or spell improves, the skill name and new percentage is sent to my ststus bar so i don't have to type practice everytime something improves and search for it just to see the improvment. This script works beautifully and I'll include it, but thats not my problem.

#CLASS {SkillCheck} {disable}
#TRIGGER {^(*) (%d)~% (*) (%d)~% (*) (%d)~%} {#ADDKEY Skills {%trim( %1)} %2;#ADDKEY Skills {%trim( %3)} %4;#ADDKEY Skills {%trim( %5)} %6;#GAG}
#TRIGGER {^(*) (%d)~% (*) (%d)~%} {#IF ((%len(%1) < 25) AND (%len(%3) < 25)) {#ADDKEY Skills {%trim(%1)} %2;#ADDKEY Skills {%trim(%3)} %4;#GAG}}
#TRIGGER {^(*) (%d)~%} {#IF (%len(%1) < 25) {#ADDKEY Skills {%trim(%1)} %2;#GAG}}
#TRIGGER {You have %d practice sessions left} {#T- SkillCheck;#status @SkillCheck has improved to %db( @Skills, @SkillCheck)}
#CLASS 0

#ALIAS skillcheck {#T+ SkillCheck;prac}
#VAR SkillCheck {evaluation}
#VAR Skills {axe1dagger1flail1mace1polearm1spear1sword40evaluation74enhanced damage1staff1parry1scrolls1staves1recall75}
#TRIGGER {You have become better at (*)!} {#CW bold,yellow;#BEEP;#VAR SkillCheck {%1};skillcheck}
#TRIGGER {You learn from your mistakes, and your (*) skill improves.} {#CW bold,yellow;#BEEP;#VAR SkillCheck {%1};skillcheck}
#TRIGGER {You learn from your mistakes, and your evaluation skill improves.} {eval}
#BUTTON 16 {Prac Off} {#t+ practemp} {Prac On} {#t- practemp;#t- alarm} {} {1} {} {Size} {68} {23} {Pos} {1} {404} {79} {47} {} {} "" {} {} {}
#STAT {@SkillCheck has improved to %db( @Skills, @SkillCheck)}

Thats the script in it's entirety. Now here is my problem. I wanna make a sister script that does virtually the same thing but with different information and I cannot dissect this script and make it work for my other idea for the life of me. As you can see this script displays your improved skill or spell and it's new number on the status bar. Well while I rank I hate typing "worth" everytime I kill something to see what my new exp tnl is. So I wanted to make a sister script that would read my exp tnl after every kill and display it on the status bar.
When I type worth i see the following:

You have 0 gold, 0 silver, and 304 experience (1746 exp to level).

So basically like I said before I want a script just like the skillcheck script that will read my exp tnl and place it on the status bar. I guess it would all trigger off of:

(*) is DEAD!!

since that is what my mud displays. Any help is much appreciated.

First, you should take the #STATUS command out of any triggers. Instead of remaking the status bar every time something changes, just update the variables.

#TR {is DEAD!!} {worth}
#COND {(%d) exp to level} {#VAR tnl %1}
#STAT {@SkillCheck has improved to %db( @Skills, @SkillCheck). You need @tnl exp}
