Here is the cycle alias I wrote. It works beautifully. Everytime I type cycle.. it sends me from one mob, then back to shop, then to the next mob, then back to shop, etc, etc. However.. I am have trouble figuring out how to reverse it.

I would like it so when I type rcycle it will send me to the previous mob I was at, hit it again, goes back to shop, again to the mob before that, etc, etc.

As you have it set up now it looks like you can simply copy the whole thing to another alias (rcycle). Move the #MATH statement to the top, and change the sign in it from + to -. I really didn't even think it worth my time to tell you that, it is just that obvious.

It will not work with a simple - instead of a +. I would not post such a simple request. For example:

Lets say I am at deathk (@var_cycle=15), if I subtract 1 from the var_cycle and run it again, it will run (@var_cycle=14) which is the reverse directions back to shop from the sdragon, which will send me to some random place.. because i am not at sdragon. It needs to go TO the shop from deathk which is (@var_cycle=16). Then if you go one step back from that, it needs to go (@var_cycle=13), to send me to the forward directions to the sdragon.

So, here is how it should go:

@var_cycle=15 (At deathk)
@var_cycle=16 (back to shop from deathk)
@var_cycle=13 (to sdragon, which is the mob before deathk)
@var_cycle=14 (to shop from sdragon)
@var_cycle=11 (to bluedragon, which is the mob before sdragon)
@var_cycle=12 (to shop from bluedragon)

Lets say I was at the shop after having just been at deathk, which is:
@var_cycle=16 (at the shop, the last mob I have been to is deathk)

the next one it needs to go to, if it is to truly and correctly reverse where I have been, is deathk.
@var_cycle=15

So you can see, that subtracting one, only works if I am at the shop, and the second it gets to the next mob, and trys to subtract one, it will send me to the reverse directions for the mob before that.

Vorax was pretty close. You need an if at the beginning
#if (%mod(@var_cycle,2)) {#add var_cycle -2}
and one at the end
#if (%mod(@var_cycle,2)) {#add var_cycle 1} {#add var_cycle -3}
