Problem with script, please advise
|
Your script snippet as written is correct. One thing that happened to me when I was looking at it is when I entered the script via the command line, the line numofarrows = [@numofarrows+20] was evaluated as numofarrows = 40 (i had initiated @numofarrows as 20.) So check that what's in the settings editor is what you entered at the command line.
If you can't find the cause use #ADD numofarrows 20 instead.

Maybe the "Use [] for evaluation" or whatever it is in preferences is turned off?

Doesn't the [] evaluate at the time it is entered and stores the answer, in your case 20? Which means you have the expression num = 20
What happens if you don't put the [] and just have num = num + 20?
I'm not sure, because I've always used #MATH, or #VAR rather than your way. So my way would be #MATH num @num + 20 and I've never had to consider []s.
Stay JOLLY!
