The Minimum Bid is 500, Maxiumum 4000
I want to make it so when one of my triggers runs that makes me CUT DICE then It takes the wager value and adds 500

If it happens that I lose, Then it takes the wager value and multiples it by 2

If I win, then the wager value is reset back to 500

I need a check on each time it adjusts the wager so that if the value is over the Number 4000, It is set to 4000

any help would be appreciated, thanks

Where does your script get called (I don't see it anywhere).

And which line is line 55?

<triggers>
<trigger
group="DICE GAME"
match=""New game!", cries the manager of the dice table, "Place your bets now!""
name="BET"
script="dicecut"
sequence="100"
>
<send>bet 500</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

Line 55: Wager = Wager + 500

I had removed the script call from the trigger, but the script would be called from pretty much all the triggers,

Triggers:
WINNER - Would Set the Variable to 500
CUT - Would Take the Varible and add 500 to it
LOSER - Would take the varible and double it

so actually just 3 calls I guess,
and a failsafe to make sure the varible if over 4000 is set to the number 4000

So I guess my triggers would look like this:

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
group="DICE GAME"
match=""Winner!, We have a winner!" cries the manager with excitement."
name="WINNER"
script="DICEWIN"
sequence="100"

Well, that second one is largely different than the first.

What's the problem then (and how would that script be called from the BET trigger? Since that's originally what caused the problem, yet it doesn't have the script call).

Check to make sure you've got a good value in the variable, since that seems to be whats causing the problem.

Also, calling the script AND sending something (that get's modified by the script) might end with results that you don't want) you might call and then send, or vice versa, I don't remember which way they get evaluated, it's somewhere around these forums though.
Since the script doesn't use any of the variables passed (line, name, wildcards) you could call it from within your 'send' box, to specify. Although that wouldn't cause this problem.

All Seems to be working now. thanks flannel

If Anyone is any good with odds..

It's a dice game.
Minimum Bet 500coins
Max Bet 4000 coins
The house rolls a single 6 sided dice
Then you either roll
Tie or Less you lose your bet
or you can CUT in which you get half your bet back
WAGER / 2 rounded down to the nearest 1

Right now
If the house rolls a 1 2 or 3 then I throw the dice
If the house rolls a 4 5 or 6 then I cut my losses

I start with a wager of 500
Anytime I win I reset my wager to 500
If I cut my dice then I take my wager that round and add 500 to it.

If I lose then I double my wager that round and double it.

WAGER WIN CUT LOSE
500 1000 1000 1000
1000 2000 1500 2000
1500 3000 2000 3000
2000 4000 2500 4000
2500 5000 3000 4000
3000 6000 3500 4000
3500 7000 4000 4000
4000 8000 4000 4000

If anyone knows a way to beat theese odds and how would be better to bet on this It would help

not too sure how my method will work or not, seems so far I am sitting pretty much even, but sitting more on the edge of slowly losing money.

thanks
