I'm working on a script for Aardwolf. I know what I want to do and basically how to do it - there's just one problem.

I can't seem to add to an existing value in a variable database. If it were a simple numeric expression, then I'd have no problem. Let me show you what I mean.

This is the output I'm capturing:

It's possible that zMUD doesn't like this syntax:

%eval(@donated.%2.1+%replace(%5,",",""))

I assume the second . there is supposed to be a multiplication. zMUD probably doesn't know this (and if it does, it's possibly confused by the dot separating the variable name and the key). You also don't need the final parameter in replace if you're just deleting. Try one of these:

%eval(@{donated.%2}*1+%replace(%5,","))
%eval(%db(@donated,%2)*1+%replace(%5,","))

Use %n instead of %x and then there is no need for the %replace on %5 you can just do a %eval straight away on the %5.

Thanks, Taz. That is exactly what I was looking for!

P.S. Other guys, thanks for the suggestion. By the way, there was no multiplication. If you read about it, using #var @donated.%2.1 indicates that the variable is referencing Database Donated, Key %2, record 1.
