i still use 4.62 cause i learn with it, too lazy to mess with the new ones
but have a little question about the variable
#4 drink water, is you drink 5 times
but what if you store the 4 in a var like count
#var count 4
i know to get the 4 out, you need use @count
then how do you make it able to do
#4 drink water by using the @count, or is there a way.

anyone can help pls tell me, thanks!

I don't have 4.62, but have you tried using [] or <> to expand the variables?

#[@count] {drink water}
#<@count> {drink water}

Also, check to see if 4.62 has a #REPEAT command, because this would help in this case.

Try the obvious first:
#@count drink water
If that doesn't work, try expanding the variable as per Iljhar's response. Next, check out YOUR helpfiles to see what commands you have that are designed for repeating things, such as #REPEAT or #LOOP as per Kjata's response.

If all the easy ways fail, write a script to do it.
#ALIAS repeat {#IF (@count > 0) {#ADD count -1;%-1;repeat %-1}}
There, a nice freeze-the-computer type alias
