sorry but im new at coding so i need help...

how would i make a resting system i tryed making one but it just went wrong and added 1 hp everytime someone clicked it untill they got full hp, so how would i do it???

also how would i make the stats have hp/maxhp so
stat("health",hp)

but with a / then max hp

thanks for your time :)

stat("Health","[hp]/[maxhp]")


Look up while() for your other problem in the reference.

If you're only going to add 1, you could probably use
usr.hp++

Where ++ means to increment by 1.

For the other part, you would probably want a variable of whether the person is resting or not. So when they click rest, it would toggle the variable and start resting. Also, you want to pause inbetween health increases:
mob/var
     resting=0
     hp, maxhp

mob/verb/Rest()
     resting++  //toggle the resting variable
     while(hp<maxhp)  //while the player is damaged
          hp++  //increase their health
          sleep(50) //the 50 there means 5 seconds
     resting--  //toggle the variable back

You probably guessed that -- does the opposite of ++: it decreases by 1.

Now you have to let players be able to cancel resting, but I'll let you figure that one out.

What happened to your ifs that actually makes the toggle work? 0_0

Well I wasn't gonna give him something that was going to work nicely right out-of-the-box. :)

If you're going to use a boolean variable, you should just use the '= operator' to simply set it between true and false. It is much more robust and clean, and more efficient while you're at it.
