Basic Math Problems

How do I set a variable to be 100 LESS than it's original value?  I tried...

Code: [Select]

$rackunit = $rackunit - 100and

Code: [Select]

$rackunit = {$rackunit - 100}and

Code: [Select]

$rackunit - 100
but nothing seems to work

what do

Many ways to do it

Code: [Select]

%var = %var - 100;
%var -= 100;
%var += -100;etc.

Anyway be careful, you haven't used a semicolon in any of your examples. You may want to look at a scripting tutorial about basics, you seem pretty uninformed about scripting syntax in general.

$rackunit -= 100;

the first one would have worked if you remembered a semicolon, but you can set a variable with maths (what a horrible way to explain it, haha) by just doing op= instead of =.


ie +=, -=, *=, /=

i think the second one would've worked too with a semicolon
in java {} are used by for/while/if and other statements, but can also stand alone, so i'd assume it'd not affect anything here either

this is not java

unless it's some long lost syntax rule i've never heard of, that won't work

Couple more questions, but they are more about variables than math.

Code: [Select]

function serverCMDjoin(%cl, %faction)
{
announce(%cl.name @ " has joined " @ %faction);
// %cl.clanprefix = %faction
}Stuff with // before it doesn't work.

I'm noticing a trend with my variable errors.

similar though, is what i'm saying
i wouldn't be surprised if it didn't give any errors
