Damage Summing Script

Hi everyone. I'm new to MUSH scripting (and scripting in general) but do have a background in Java. I'm open to any language I need to do this in, however.

One note is that I'm using MUSH under Wine on Mac OSX. So if I need to install some plugins I'm hoping this is doable via extracting the .exe's and placing them in a folder.

I'm currently playing a mud where a certain ability rages you and you can't see your HP. I'm wanting to have a script that I can call from triggers and have it tally how much damage I've taken.

I've figured out an average of which hit takes how much: very hard, extremely, pulverized, etc. So these triggers would call the script and the script would add this value to the total and some how display this to the user.. or possibly deduct it from that characters total hp and return that.

Is this possible, and if so could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Plugins shouldn't have .exe files in them. You should certainly be able to use them in Wine.

As for the hit points, take a look at some of the introductory tutorials. Basically you want a few triggers and some arithmetic.
