I have a test project using variables with mathematical calculations. I am testing a scoring module for a game-like point system.

I have a user variable {$user_total_point} which keeps track of cumulative score.

I have a variable called {$user_points} which is the points for the current event.
I have a deduction variable called {$user_minus} which I want to be a random number from say 1-5.

I want {$user_total_point} = {$user_total_point} + {$user_points} - {$user_minus} so i can update the variable as it changes.

What is the systax in the user profile template needed to achieve this result?

Also, can the artist pages display these user variables?

You will need to do your calculation in a custom PHP script - you won't be able to effectively do this via a template.

yes - if done as a Jamroom 4 module:

Hope this helps!
