Sounds simple, or at least I thought it would be.

I have a class named Bottrix and that is where all of the scripts for this current project reside. Now, an alias is supposed to increase the variable "currentStep" by 1 each time the alias is used (the rest of the alias works, just the incrementing does not). I have tried several ways, and most of the time it creates a variable at the top level and increments that, which I don't want.

So my question is, how do I increment a variable by 1 in the current class (or a specific class)?

Currently I have cMUD 2.37. Maybe one day I will have money and be able to upgrade.

You can use the absolute path of the variable: //module/class/.../class/variable. You can use relative paths too, so the variable in the current class would be ./variable.

You wouldn't use the @ sign? Such as.. ./@variable , so it would just be ./variable ?

I also reread the MATH help file, and realized you could specify a class name at the end..

#MATH currentStep @currentStep+1 Bottrix

Ah, tired and scripting.. sometimes doesn't go that great together.

It would be @./variable, actually.

personally I always use

#var ThisVariable %eval(@ThisVariable +1)

In CMUD, you want to stay away from %eval as much as possible. CMUD is smarter about being able to evaluate things now. Using %eval does lag a bit more than just doing @var+1.

Glad I posted that, I have a bunch of aspects that rely on the %eval function. Thank you!
