okay i used to do this and know its easy but forgot the syntax and cant for the life of me remember it.

i have a variable @tnl which i display in my title bar kso i can see how much exp i need to level. I want to make it so whenever i recieve experience points for killing a mob or whatever it subtracts the number of exp i get from @tnl. If anyone knows and can help i would appreciate it :)

Well, probably something like this might work:

#trigger {You receive (%d) experience points from the kill.} {#add tnl -%1}

If not, then try this:

#trigger {You receive (%d) experience points from the kill.} {#math tnl @tnl-%1}

Don't forget to reset the @tnl value when you level. Also, on some muds, you gain experience while fighting as well as getting experience for the finishing blow. This doesn't take all that in account, so you might want to have some other trigger that will reset @tnl every once in a while. Like if your score shows your exp left until next level, then create a trigger that sets your @tnl to that value.

see thats what i thought at first but i tried it and all it does is tack on %1 to to end of @tnl. so like if @tnl = 300000 and i get 245 exp for killin a mob it looks like this: 300000-245

The problem is in how you captured or set tnl originally. For some reason it is being recognized as a string variable. Double check to make sure it has no spaces, commas, or other odd things then type this in at your command line:
tnl=%number(@tnl)
If everything is right then tnl won't be set to 0.
