Papyrus Script Help +1

[Karel2015]

Ok, So basically what I am trying to accomplish, Is that I want every time an effect is triggered, it will add +1 to a global Value. When dispelling the magic effect, it will -1. My mod is set up to allow you to recruit Minutemen. Basically I want it to work as you recruit each Minutemen, You add +1, and set a maximum level so you can only have a certain amount of Minutemen with you at any time.

 

Here's what I have so far for each effect, Now If I put in -1, it works just fine. If I put in say "1-2-3-4" just a number for set value, it works just fine. But there is no way to do +1, So what is the proper format or function to add +1 to the global variable ?

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCastor)
akTarget.setplayerTeammate(true)
akTarget.SetCommandState(true)
akTarget.setcandocommand(true)
akTarget.AddKeyword(DontUseAmmo)
SoldiersRecruited.SetValue(+1)
EndEvent

 

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCastor)
akTarget.setplayerTeammate(false)
akTarget.SetCommandState(false)
akTarget.setcandocommand(false)
akTarget.RemoveKeyword(DontUseAmmo)
SoldiersBuilt.SetValue(-1)
EndEvent

I think what you want to do is something like this:

 

SoldiersRecruited.setValueInt(SoldiersRecruited.getValueInt() + 1)

 

SoldiersRecruited.setValueInt(SoldiersRecruited.getValueInt() - 1)

Yes! You are my hero :) haha ty -1 for some reason will work with: SoldiersBuilt.SetValue(-1) but the +1 wouldn't work. Just woke up to your message and you just saved me some time so tyvm!

It's likely that the SetValue(-1) is setting it to absolute "-1" not subtracting 1.

You could also try using Mod instead of SetValue.

SoldiersRecruited.Mod(1)
SoldiersRecruited.Mod(-1)
