is there any way of ignoring the string divisions by zero?
On my exp gain calculating, I have many variables that add numbers to the exp, and the overall of those vars, will be divided by another variable, wich sometimes can be 0, when its 0, an error comes up... how to fix this without having to make if var...=0{}else {}...?

make it to one!
it will be the same number!
2 will increase it 1 will make it the same!

You have to be a bit more specific. Are there ever any negative numbers and what do you want it to return when a division by 0 occurs?

if variable==0 variable=1

Period.

But if that variable is going to equal 0, you obviously messed up somewhere down the line or didn't think it all the way through. The only time I've ever had to use that conditional was when programming objects that require Instance Creation Code to function properly and I felt like being too lazy to actually include an ICC for each instance of that object in the game.

You can also use the max function...

exp /= max(1, val);
