OK guys and gals,
I'm making a jeopardy type game on the mud i imm on. the board consists of 6 subjects and 5 values per subject:

|Sports | 100 200 300 400 500 (example)

anyways each of the 30 values i have set up as a variable. what i want is when that variable gets used, the value would go from 100 to a ---, showing the subject has been used:

|Sports | --- 200 300 400 500 (example)

any ideas on how it could be done?

thanks for any possible help

Instead of using 30 separate variables, use 6 variables each with 12345 as the value. As you figure out which gets used, you can simply search for the significant number in that variable's value and replace it with a -:

#trigger {%w says to you, ~"({@Topics}) for (%d)~"} {#var %1 %replace(%1,%left(%2,1),"-")}
