I am trying to create a trigger that adds a timer with a duration that changes based on information in the trigger.
I am not a programmer and haven't been able to find a file anywhere that would explain how do to this.

Trigger: *HP:*/* SP:*/* EP:*/*

Send:
n = bc.sub (%7,%6)
m = bc.div (n,13)
l = bc.mul (m,15)
DoAfterNote (l, 'Endurance Full')

Send to: Script

I am trying to find a way to get 'DoAfterNote' or 'AddTimer' to use this variable 'l'.

Thank you for your time

You don't need to use "big numbers" for simple arithmetic.

How about:


n = %7 - %6
m = n / 13
time = m * 15
DoAfterNote (time, 'Endurance Full')


I don't like the variable name "l", it looks too much like 1.

So what was wrong with that? Did the note not appear, or what?

He must be using a different server than the ones I am used to, in that case. :P
