Hello everyone! I am learning how to script and I am trying to multiply a variable using the script these are the things I have tried so far.

%VARIABLE := %VARIABLE + 400%

%VARIABLE := %VARIABLE x 4

I am now stumped. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

I don't believe percentages are supported, but you can do multiplication and division for the same effect.

Using an x is not how you do multiplication.

If you read the article called Basics of Scripting, it will reveal to you...well you know. What the title says.

Thanks for the info. I skipped the basic one. More fool me.

 

You cannot use percents or decimals in the system (as it rounds off) but can get the same results, using the proper math.

For example, a cursed sword does only 75% damage: %Damage := 2D6 * 100 / 133

Or Gain 50% more Hit Point: %HP := %HP * 15 / 10

Yeah I am slowly finding ways around the percentage issue. Thanks for the advice guys it been really helpful. I just need to put more thought into my scripting and stop being lazy.
