This code will work when a few conditions are met:

1. the monthly and yearly totals are saved in variables called %yeartotal and %monthtotal (you can of course change them)
2. everytime you save a monthly total, the script remembers of which month it's saved via the variable %lastmonth
3. to ensure it works, try using //set %lastmonth $date(mm)

Code:

[color:green]; This will start a timer that will try to update just after midnight[/color]
on *:START: { timer[color:blue]upd[/color] -o 00:01 1 1 updateme }
[color:red] [/color]
[color:green]; this is called at midnight via the timer and then makes sure it's the firs of the month before actually updating[/color]
alias [color:blue]updateme[/color] {
  [color:green]; check if it's the 1st of a month[/color]
  [color:green]; check to make sure it's a new month[/color]
  if ($date(dd) == 1) &amp;&amp; ($date(mm) &gt; [color:blue]%lastmonth[/color]) {
    [color:green]; increment the yearly total with this month's score[/color]
    inc [color:blue]%yeartotal %monthtotal[/color]
    [color:green]; set this month's score back to 0[/color]
    unset [color:blue]%monthtotal[/color]
    [color:green]; remember we already saved this month[/color]
    set [color:blue]%lastmonth[/color] $date(mm)
  }
}
