Is there a way to assign a min value and a max value to a single variable?
ie- x can have a maximum value of 1000 and a minimum value of 500.

Hello, Harley.
You mean like in a modifier that holds a variable within a range? Not that I know of.
However, you can always create two variables, x-MIN and x-MAX, preassign the "legal" values in the range, then perform an IF-THEN conditional to hold x in that range.

Basically we have asked if x is greater than 1000 or become less than 500. If either is true (out of range) we then set x to its range limits, which in this example is 500 for the low side or 1000 for the high side. The IF-THEN conditional would likely be a subroutine so it would be available to multiple routines changing the value in x, in which case we have a "RETURN" after the "ENDIF".
Make sense?
Have a nice project.

or you can use the min and max math functions.

temp = value max 1000 ;limit temp to a maximuim of 1000 when copying value to temp.

temp = value min 100 ; limit temp to a minimum of 100 when copying value to temp.

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up using kenjj's method and it worked well for my application.
