negative balance

[Doodle]

I am making a skript so when a player dies, they lose some of their money, and if it's in the negatives, the balance goes farther into the negatives. The problem is, when I test it, when the player's balance is negative, it doesn't want to work and the balance of the player just stays the same. Here is the code:

function mw(p: player, num1: number, num2: number) :: number:
    set {_bal} to {_p}'s balance
    if {_bal} >= 0:
        return ({_bal} * ({_num1}/{_num2}))
    else:
        return ({_bal} / ({_num1}/{_num2}))

on death:
    victim is a player
    if attacker is a player:
        remove mw(victim, 1, 2) from victim's balance
        send "&cWhen you died, you lost half your money!" to victim
        increase attacker's balance by mw(victim, 1, 2)
    else:
        remove mw(victim, 2, 3) from victim's balance

Please help. I don't understand why this is not working. Also, I double-checked the math and it all checks out so I'm struggling to find where the issue is. If you think there is another way to do this, please let me know.

Probably ur economy plugin not handling negative money, use variables

I'm removing the money from the player's balance, not setting it.

That’s just setting it to a-b

Oh. Well do you have any tips on what economy plugin I should use? I have vault, essentials, auctionhouse and economy shop.

I still don't understand what you mean by 'use variables'.

Use variables to store money instead of a plugin, higher limit, (probably) faster and less plugins

That's a bit beyond my skill level. Is that the only way?

you could check essentials (or another plugin) config, also that’s basically the first thing you learn in skript lol

I mean 1k how to use variables and list variables, but then it's kinda complicated from there. I'll try to check config.

I checked config and found nothing about economy.

I don't understand what you mean by storing money. I do know how to use variables.

I bet you can go simple.

#skript by zcx2

on death:
    if {balance::%victim's uuid%} <=5:
        set {balance::%victim's uuid%} to 0
    else if {balance::%victim's uuid%} >=6:
        remove 5 from {balance::%victim's uuid%}

Well, thanks for giving me an actual example, but I doubt this will work.
