Forums Scripts & Popups I am looking for help with a raffle script

I am trying to create a raffle script and I am having a few problems with a couple of parts.
the first problem I have having is restricting the number of tickets one person can buy per raffle to a limit of 10 tickets.(lines 3-5) I have managed to make the script limit tickets bought at once to 10 but this can be repeated. A floodgate will not work as views will be able to buy one tickets then more later on in the raffle if they want but no more then 10 total tickets per raffle.
the second problem I am having is the script telling people they can't afford the tickets they requested to buy, the script currently says they can't afford tickets every time they buy some even if they could afford them (they still get the tickets they could afford) (lines 18-24)
the code I have so far is below any help will be amazing thank you

on *:TEXT:!buyticket &:#:{
if (%raffle == 1) {
if ($2 > 10) {
msg $chan Sorry $nick but you can only up to 10 tickets
}
if ($2 < 11) {
var %i = 0
var %ticket = $2
var %topic = $+(#,.,$nick)
var %user = $readini(Points.ini,%topic,Points)
var %end = 10 * %ticket
var %delete = %user - %end
if (%delete > 0) {
writeini -n Points.ini %topic Points %delete
while (%i < %ticket) {
write Raffle.txt $nick
%i = %i + 1
}
msg $chan $nick You Have Bought %ticket Tickets For %end Points.
}
if (%topic,points < 0) {

}

Maby set a variable on the user with how many tickets, if its above the max you have set (10) then he is not allowed to buy, but if the first time he bought tickets + the secound is under or 10 then it allows. (im using alot of this for my own scripts)

Thank you for the advice I am finding varible scripts rather hard can you please give me a base example to work off?

Yes sure

This should work, then you just need to clear all those to start a new one, (if you wanna know how to remove more than 1 variable that contains word you need to ask someone else, i don't know if it even works)
This script has not been tested, but it should work
--
set %maxticket. $+ $nick %maxtest Makes a variable %maxticket.thename
--
if (%maxtest > 10) {
msg $chan Sorry $nick but you can only up to 10 tickets
/halt
} This checks and stops if its above 10
--
var %max = %maxticket. $+ $nick
var %maxtest = %max + $2
This calculate the numbers to check if its above 10
