Hey,

I'm currently developing a highly complex DROD RPG, and I'm in desperate need of the following:
Allow variables to be added to/subtracted from/multiplied by/etc other variables.
So, in the current dialog:

Variables:
------    --------    --------     -------
|VarA|    |Assign|    |Number|     |*Box*|
|VarB|    |Add   |    |Text  |     -------
------    --------    |Var   |
              .       --------
              .
              .

Basically I need to multipy for instance SwordDamage with Level.

Hmm,

Actually I've come up with a slightly better solution for the problem.
When assigning a value to variables, allow math expressions to be used, eg. "10+1/4", or "($VarA$+10)/$VarB$".
Would this be possible?

The variable assignment field takes more than just numbers. (Hint, hint)

Aw, I was hoping you'd get it.

Put a variable name in the assignment field.

Yeah, I just read it up in the manual.
I swear I will never post a bug/feature request without consulting the manual first!!

EDIT: On another note, my RPG still doesn't work for health values greater than 100, as DROD doesn't support floats or at least doubles.

No, just integers. But those can go much over 100.

I meant that actually because my healthbar calculates the health using 100, and dividing 100 by something greater than 100 results in 1 or 0.

Using fixed point conversions, you can deal with this issue. For instance, use 10000 as the health instead of 100, and divide it by 100 to display the health value.

That's what I did .
My healthbar STILL doesn't upgrade correctly though *headsmash*.

I could too. Actually, the room with the script in it would be easier.

Well, of course, Banjooie. Final Fantasy characters could still one-hit-kill Beethro in this circumstance, so obviously he needs more than 9999 health
