SetVariable Syntax Error

#1 Post by DesertFox » Thu Oct 15, 2015 11:36 am

When using an imagebutton to set a variable, I'm given a syntax error over the following:

Code: Select all

SetVariable("girl", -=1)
Why is it that '-=' and '+=' don't work as syntax here?

Code: Select all

SetVariable("girl", -=1)
Doesn't make much sense, use:

Code: Select all

SetVariable("girl", girl-1)
