I haven't seen any other posts in the forum regarding this problem, so I gather everyone else's #math command is working fine? Mine (using the trial of version 6.16) refuses to perform even the most basic of variable calculations. Example: with a value of 1322 in @maxmana, I enter

#math temp (@maxmana - 1);#say @maxmana - 1 is @temp

at the command line. Obviously, I expect to get "1322 - 1 is 1321" but I don't. Instead, I get

1322 - 1 is 0

which means, I believe, that the command isn't doing the math at all or it isn't storing the result in @temp. Either way, #math is worthless, and it's pretty important for a lot of the triggers I'm trying to write.

Help?

Oh, and I've tried the above test command (and more useful attempts in my actual triggers) with parentheses as shown, with braces, and with nothing at all surrounding the calculation. All give the same result.

Hmm, tha's strange. In that case, you might want to try this instead:
#VAR temp %eval(@maxmana - 1)

Well, I have no idea why that works and #math doesn't, but it did work-- thanks very much!
