First of all, when attup is 1 on the Attack_Up(mob/M) proc, it doubles my attack. Then when it gets to Run(mob/M) or any other of my procs that end combat, it doesn't - my attack from the attd, It /s it by 2/3s. Whats wrong?

Don't know about your other problems, but you shouldn't be using >>. It's > if you want to check if a > b . >> is used for a variety of other stuff, but not sanity checks. As far as I know, anyhoo.

Yep. To clarify, >> is usually a shift operator, and if(value >> 0) is the same as saying if(round(value)). That should be true for every number from 0 to just under 1.

What you really wanted, I think, was > because that's the greater-than operator.

But if i do that, i get a bug in an if command. and if i put it (if usr.attup >= 0) that will mess everything up, and besides i dont think that has to do with the problem at hand.

That should be M, not usr, in the proc where you had it. But >> is not correct, and > is.

sry, if(M.attup >> 0) lol X_X and ill try it

I still dont get errors, but it dont fix the problem, i still have it. It still doubles my attack in the Attack_Up proc and divides my attack but 2/3s in the Run proc.

Right, like I said, >> is the wrong operator here because it will do a bit shift. > is the comparison operator you wanted.
