Alright everyone,
I recently decided to re-learn DBP after a few years vacation and I have fun into a very simple problem which I cannot fix. my issue is that I want to subtract a randon value stored into a var from another var I made. Here is the code...

+ Code Snippet

player:
   player_turn=0 and enemy_turn=1
   input "1=attack 2=defend",player_input
   if player_input=1 then rnd(30)=damage
      enemy_health-damage=enemy_health
      print "you deal"damage"points of damage to the enemy"
   if player_input=2 then rnd(15)=heal
      heal+player_health=player_health
      print "you heal yourself and gain "heal" points of health"

   gosub life

I get an error saying that it cannot understand the command. Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Christian

The issue is that enemy_health-damage=enemy_health is where I error. It says it does not understand the command.

You can't assign a value to an expression. Maybe you you want:

+ Code Snippet

Enemy_Health = Enemy_Health - Damage

???

Lovely, that would be my problem. I guess I'm so used to TI basic that I wanted to do it backwards. Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
