so I want our hero to be able to recieve a certain number of item (138) based off of the level they just gained, using the formula (level/4)+1
I understand i will need to use the
get hero level (me) command and the
get item (138, ((level/4)+1)) command
but I dont know what to put in place of "level" in the second command to make it refer to the previous value found by the first command

Variables!

To declare a (local) variable, write "variable (level)" inside a script. The variable will only be visible inside that script, and the value is forgotten when it exits.

To assign a value to a variable, write "level := get hero level (me)"

Wow, I've just noticed that the Plotscripting Tutorial doesn't even cover variables. We really could do with a longer/more tutorials.

BTW, note that level/4 rounds down. e.g. 7/4 is 1.

thanks TMC, is it possible to make things round up? thats how we calculated it when we decided upon a formula, its not a huge deal but is it possible?

Yes, you just add a little to the numerator. If you want a/b to round up, then write (a + b/2)/b. So level/4 becomes (level+2)/4.
