| Alright so I want to make an alias that takes two variables, @strength and @constitution, and adds them together then divides that by 10 then divides that by 2. Once the math is done it would SendImmediate (train %1 ##). Where ## is the outcome of the math.
I tried doing this on my own, starting with:
bc.digits (20)
n = bc.number (((@strength + @constitution) / 10) / 2)
print(n)
Witch worked so I changed print(n) to SendImeediate(n) which also worked. But the moment I tried adding anything before the n within the ( ) it failed.
Could I please get some help? | Top |

n = bc.number (((@strength + @constitution) / 10) / 2)
SendImmediate(n)</send>

| Why are you using bc? That is for, like, hundreds of digits of precision. |

Because I'm not all that good with the functions and it was the first thing I found that began to work for what I wanted.

I first started with what I wanted it to be:
<aliases>
<alias
match="train *"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>bc.digits (20)
n = bc.number (((@strength + @constitution) / 10) / 2)
SendImmediate(train %1 (n))</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
I got the error:
Error number: 0
Event: Compile error
Description: [string "Alias: "]:3: ')' expected near 'str'
Called by: Immediate execution
I removed the %1 for now, using str, to see if I could get the "n" to work. But it just sends "train str (n)" exactly as it is. | Top |

| It would be more like:
One is a literal, one is a variable.
bc.digits (20)
n = bc.number (((@strength + @constitution) / 10) / 2)
can be just:
n = ((@strength + @constitution) / 10) / 2)

| Awsome! Can always count on you.
Is there a way to make it round up to the next whole number? | Top |
