I made bot for my mud. I want to beable to count each time I cast spell. That is how often I have cast each spell on each person. Any ideas to kick start me

What output do you get..?
Basically if you want to do an addition
#tr Retro tells you 'aegis'
cast 'aegis' retro
#add spells_casted 1

something like that.

Since you are rather sparing with the information (like what spells you want to count, whether you want to count all attempts or just successes) making a script for you isn't the easiest thing to do.

I'll try to give you a general solution anyway.

#CLASS SpellCount
#ALIAS countcast {#ADD %replace("%-2", " ", %null).%1 1}
#CLASS 0

Then, whenever your bot does a spell (or when it is sucessful, whatever you want), include countcast <personname> spell name.

This will create a database variable with the name of the spell without spaces and hold each person's individual counts in fields with his/her name.

For example,
countcast Charbal cure light wounds
This creates a database variable named curelightwounds and creates the field Charbal and assigns 1 to it.

countcast Charbal ward vs evil
The same as above, this time with wardvsevil

countcast Aennor cure light wounds
Creates the field Aennor in @curelightwounds and sets it to 1.

countcast Charbal cure light wounds
Increments Charbal field in @curelightwounds to 2.

#SHOWDB can be used to display the results of the command in a readable format (or you can manually look at the variable using the settings editor). So, #SHOWDB @curelightwounds gives us the following output:
Charbal: 2
Aennor: 1

And #SHOWDB @wardvsevil:
Charbal: 1

In this way, you can keep track of multiple spells and multiple targets.

- Charbal

Sorry I did not give you more info. But Charbal solution was actsacly what I was thinking about and had been trying. This works just fine :-)

Thanx
