I am capturing the limbs of the mob I am fighting, and since the limbs vary in name and number based on what I am fighting and they can be disabled or severed. I capture these when I begin the fight so that I can track what gets disabled. So I have limb1 limb2 . . . limb11. Each of those is assigned a limb name such as head, or right hand, right arm etc. now when a limb is disabled so and so's limb is disabled. I set {right hand} to 1

Variables
limb5 (expands to right hand)
right hand (expands to 1)

Status window
:(expand limb5's variable): (expand limb5) should look like this

:1: right hand

the variable inside : : varies I can't set it simply, any ideas how I could do this if possible?

I'm not sure if you've tried it yet, but you probably want to look into the %expand function.

I have, all it will do is expand to right hand (in keeping with the example in my original post)

Do the limbs always keep the same names? I.e. are there 11 named limbs in the game and a monster will have 1-11 of those limbs (as in something might have only limb1, limb2, limb5, limb7, limb10).
If so then it might be worth using a single key/value variable, so you could have
limb.1 = nonexistant
limb.2 = healthy
limb.3 = nonexistant
limb.4 = disabled
limb.5 = severed

Then just an alias to show the right labels with the limbs etc

I am sure there are a set number of limbs, but in the end it will still have the same problem I will need to display only the relavent limbs (probably 30ish in the game) so only display 10 possible so what happens is I capture the limbs and as they are displayed during the look I capture them.
