i'm wondering if it is possible to setup a variable like this

#var @glvl.@clvl %eval(@glvl.clvl+@gxprate)

basically creating a var that will be in the format of a.b, where a is @glvl from my hpbar and @clvl is control lvl from my hpbar, so it will look like 7.master 4343 and 7.amateur 435 and do the same when i get gl 8,9, 10, ect.

in vars a . denotes a sub entry...errr...or something...it's a data record type thing.
is that what you wanted? or you just wanted the . as a placeholder? If so, then I don't think that ~. works, but feel free to try. if not then i'd suggest using a _ for the placeholder instead.

Use curly braces to force earlier expansion of your variables that you use to build your variable name. Off the top of my head (i.e., untested, so play with it if it doesn't work):

I did say you might have to play with it. Try variations on the curly braces until you find a combination that works. Maybe @{glvl.@{clvl}} would work?

The problem is likely in how your are attempting to name the variables. All variables are supposed to start with a letter followed by any combination of alpha-numeric characters, allowing only the underscore symbol. The use of a period indicates one of a few things: a key to a record variable, an item number in a stringlist, or an element number in an array. So I think you need to really rethink how your looking to name the variable and also how your looking to store the data.
