Is there a way to modify a Var that's being used in a trigger?

Example: There is a ranking scheme, and I know that my team is ranked 10th, I want a trigger that takes my Var that holds my rank, then -1 from it, to match on the team in front of me, and then pull info outta there display so I can determine what I need to beat them. Make sense?

Like:

rank team Exp
8 Frogs 1,000,000
9 Dogs 500,000
10 Llamas 250,000

I already have the 10 stored in a Var , now I want to take that Var, -1 to get the person that's ranked right before me, then match on their Exp and do a Diff between their Exp and Mind(which I have already in another var).

Thanks... beating my head on this , prolly easy ...

Woops, I gave a generic basic Example of what I wanted and you did all that work. Now let me show you specific example :(

In a clan, you have Ratings.. here is a rating of a clan
pts (Ranking)

Clantown Rating: 101 (8)
Trading Rating: 10128 (52)
Exp Rating: 1793403 (33)
Eq Rating: 2442 (39)
Egg Rating: 8428 (40)
TownGame Rating: 1145 (39)

Now then, I already have a script that takes these values and saves them in Vars.. 2 sets actually.. 1 is a baseline saved , the 2nd is the actual values at that moment, then I do a simple subtract old values from New values to determine if we're gaining Pts or losing them.. Simple? Right

now then, each of these rankings you can see a specific list for. I will use the Exp rating now for an example

28 [ 2107546][ 75][ Balron] Nomads of the Lost Faith
29 [ 2103817][ 80][ Krilith] The Twilight Corsairs
30 [ 2067272][104][ Torajio] Despotic Order of Assassins
31 [ 1880060][ 20][ Mandroth] Lords of Discipline
32 [ 1843362][ 7][ Anssett] The Cheese Merchants of Medievia
33 [ 1793028][ 1][ Pelle] Circle of Power
34 [ 1711067][ 42][ Xanthus] The House of Swords and Magic
35 [ 1705593][ 87][ Ryathe] Spirit of the Dragon
36 [ 1685812][ 11][ Reven] The Hollow
37 [ 1660848][ 38][ Ardant] Wraiths of Ruin

Now you will see, the clan I picked was rated at 33rd.. so I wanted to take my var that has this ranking (33) subtract 1 from it, making it 32 then capture the Exp Points that 32 has, and subtract my Pts from theirs, to see basically the Gap in Pts between Me and Them, so I would be able to guage what it takes to overtake them in that category. Mind you I plan on doing this for ALL the various ratings...

Does this make sense? Sorry if it doesn't.. I have an idea on how to do it all, but trying ot use my already existent Variable storing my Ranking, and subtracting 1 from it, and then using that Var in a Trigger.. yanno?

AS my buddy Raistlin says, no good deed goes unpunished.

make an alias that can pull %itmem from your already exsistin @vars and do the #math and there you go.
