Is it possible to use %alarm to add the value of a variable to an existing one? Better yet is it possible to add the value of a variable to an existing temp alarm?

For example I have a trigger
#trigger {^Roundtime~:%s&temprt%s{sec.|seconds}} {rt = @temprt + 1}

This trigger takes the roundtime for whatever action is being performed and adds one second to it.

I then use the @rt in an alarm.

#Trigger {manage to find} {#alarm {+@rt} {do whatever}}

The problem lies in the fact that the the "Roundtime" text that is used to gather the @rt is after the action. Example below.

You concentrate on braiding your grass, fairly sure you are making progress.
You think it is likely that the braided grass isn't usable for anything yet.
Roundtime: 11 seconds.

What I am trying to do is make a class for braiding grass (working mechanical lore) in Dragonrealms.

In the above example I wrote a trigger that used "isn't usable for anything yet." but the value for @rt is not obtained until the next line. By this time the alarm has already been set.

dont use the {} around the time +@rt of an alarm

What i did was make a variable @dostuff, then the the alarm can contain a

#FORALL @dostuff {#EXEC {%i}}

You can change the value of @dostuff at any point, and so long as the alarm hasnt fired yet, it will do the new value(s)
