Basic math in command line

hannie · Jul 3rd 2022

Hello Forum,

I am trying to create a macro that uses an offset like a parameter to determine which objects to change

For example:

Code

Selfix $DimmerGroupFXOffset

Sometimes the variable value need a slight change to point to the correct object.

Code

Selfix $DimmerGroupFXOffset + 1

How could this be achieved in a nice way?

I found some topics using Lua, is that the only way to do this? I would rather keep it more simple.

Thanks.

make sure your variable is an integer, and you can do simple addition directly in commandline

SetGlobalVar "mygroup" 11

Selfix Group $mygroup

-> Selfix Group 11

Selfix Group 5$mygroup

-> Selfix Group 16

Selfix Group $mygroup$mygroup

-> Selfix Group 22

SetGlobalVar "mygroup" 200$mygroup

Selfix Group $mygroup

-> Selfix Group 211
