add +1 to integer

[MissKerrigan]

Hello,

How do I add +1 to a integer by trigger?
I can't find this anywhere

Variable - Set (your variable)
Then find Arithmetic, and set the first value to your variable and the second to + 1.

You're wrong... I just found out the trigger action is called 'modify variable (integer)' and not 'set variable'

They both work, and the most commonly used is the Variable - Set.

You got a weird way of expressing your gratitude

 

[MissKerrigan]

what's gratitude?

btw, the 'set variable' can only SET it to a specific number and not add +1

You can use this to add 1 as well. Instead of a specific number, go to the function tab and pick arithmetic. You'll be able to pick two values and an operator. For the first value, pick the variable you want to increase and for the second one pick 1.

It'll look something like this:

• Variable - Set foo = (foo + 1)

Gratitude is when you are thankful for something someone has done. So if someone has taken time to try to help you with a problem, try to express it in a good way.
A good way to express your gratitude in this case would be to say: "Thanks, but it doesn't seem to work. However, I found the action called Modify Variable (Integer) which does what I want".
Saying it like you said, could be considered a little rude, and it might make people less likely to help you. You were also wrong when you said he was wrong, which can also make people less likely to reply, since they're afraid you'll just ignore their answers because you think they're wrong.
However, I know you know this, and you're often very good at expressing your gratitude. Just remember to keep it up all the time

Yes, I understand! Sorry Romek if I did insulted you! but it is not the way I meant
It's just because my english is not perfect sometimes I try to find some other words to try to be clear

'you're wrong' had to be like: 'I think it's not the way it should be solved'

Yes I know I must think better about my language/attitude

(I'm not even sure if Romek would read this post, I never saw him befor)
