I'm not sure if this is a bug or bad code, but here we go.

I have a trigger to capture my experience, the action of the trigger is.
#var exp %1
#math exp2 %1-@EXP
#MATH EXPTONEXTLVL {%db(@LVLEXP,@LVLNEXT)}-@EXP
#add expgain @exp2

I display in my status window my current exp, how much exp i've gained since the last time i've checked, how much exp until my next level, and grand total counter of exp i've gathered since i logged in.

the problem is the exp gain variable keeps showing that I just gained whatever my current exp is, and won't update. Also the exp gained from the last time i've checked always stays 0.

The here is how the trigger works in zmud (which faults even more in cmud):
#math exp2 %1-@exp
#var exp %1
#math ExpToNextLvl (%db( @LvlExp, %eval( @Lvl + 1)) - @exp)
#add expgain @exp2

So is this a bug? or just bad code? And if it's code, how can I clean it up?

There is currently a bug in the %db function that is treating the result as a string. This should be fixed soon.

*nod* I won't spend too many hours thinking of an alternative then.

This version is light years ahead of the 1.00-1.01 releases, keep up the good progress.

The current work-around is to put %int around the %db function:

#math ExpToNextLvl (%int(%db( @LvlExp, %eval( @Lvl + 1))) - @exp)

If that's the same as changing the variable type from autotype to integer, that will work too.
