instead of
use
%money_ $+ [ $+ [ $nick ] ]
There is no problem with the first format (once again, a simple test would've shown you this, eg //set -s %money_ [ $+ [ $me ] ] test | echo -a %money_ [ $+ [ $me ] ] )
Nicholas_OConnor: apparently the problem is not in the way you set/get the variable. We need to see the entire line from your script that causes the problem.
