[Answered by self] Numeric/String Troubles

wilsonscrazybed

I'm sort of new to coding (esp. Twine) and probably am asking something really obvious.

I'm trying to do this

[[Add1|randomDisposalRoom][$test += "1"]]
<<print $test>>

the results are coming up as
01
011
0111
01111

I am guessing my problem is that it's not reading this as an interger but as a string. I've been all over the forums and help pages but yet have to see anything addressing this. Is this even possible?

I appreciate your help. You all seem like cool dudes.

After two weeks of futzing around, I figured it out.

[[Add1|randomDisposalRoom][$test+=1]]
<<print $test>>
