Add to variable

Count up or down: add a number to a variable.

Where
+ Add actionSystemAdd to variable
Add to variable: adds 1 to the variable deaths, with the scope Everywhere.

Add to variable turns a variable into a counter: deaths, wins, drinks, the number of times the chat said the magic word. Put a positive number in Add to count up and a negative one to count down.

Settings

Section titled “Settings”
Setting What it does
Name The variable to change.
Add The number to add, or a placeholder that holds one. A negative number subtracts.
Scope Where the result is stored: This run or Everywhere (the default for this action). See variables.

How it runs

Section titled “How it runs”
  • A variable that does not exist yet, or does not hold a number, counts as 0. An Add value that is not a number adds 0.
  • Whole results are stored without decimals (4, not 4.0); others keep up to three decimals.
  • The current value is read the way the macro sees it (this run’s value first, then the shared one) and the result is written to the chosen scope.
  • Shared counters are saved and survive a restart of Lunchpad.
  • On fader.<name> with Everywhere, the fader moves by that amount: fader.volume with -5 turns a volume fader down a step. See faders.

Example

Section titled “Example”

A death counter on two pads:

  • “Deaths +1”: Add to variable deaths, Add 1, Everywhere, then Text to speech {{deaths}} deaths.
  • “Deaths −1”: Add to variable deaths, Add -1, Everywhere.
