Score in Status Bar

This one is probrobly pretty simple. I want to set up a trigger that will shove my current score into a variable and have that variable display in the Status Bar on the bottom of the screen. On top of that, whenever I get the message:

You receive 2100 experience points and 17 gil!

I want it to set 2100 to a wildcard and subtract that from the current score. I have no clue how to work scripts and I have gotten very good with triggers. Please reply if you think you can help with this one.

What does the score line look like?

In the future, you should put output in [code][/code] tags to preserve whitespace (it didn't matter in this case, since its a variable amount anyway). Of course then you have to escape a couple of things (which you can do in a mushclient notepad automatically).

I assumed you wanted the experience to level (since otherwise subtracting didn't make sense) and this will do it for you (assuming you're using VBScript):

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   keep_evaluating="y"
   match="^\| \| You need (\d+) experience to gain a level\.[ ]+\| \|$"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>setvariable "exptolevel", "%1"
setstatus "ExpToLevel: %1"</send>
  </trigger>

  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   keep_evaluating="y"
   match="^You receive (\d+) experience points? and (\d+) gil!$"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>setvariable "exptolevel", getvariable("exptolevel") - %1
SetStatus "ExpToLevel: " &amp; getvariable("exptolevel")</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

I put it in and I think it's working. I got an error message though that says

Quote:

| | You need 290676 experience to gain a level. | |
Send-to-script cannot execute because scripting is not enabled.
| | You have been awarded 0 Roleplay points this level. | |

Any clue how to fix this?

Nevermind, I fixed it. Works like a charm! Thanks!
