How do I calculate new variable value?[solved]

[SammaySarkar]

Hi, I'm sure this is an easy problem to solve , but I've just started out Raimetering and right now can't make head or tail of a large part of the RM docs. ( & )
So, this is basically what I want to achieve:
1. User clicks on a skin element (element completed).
2. This changes the value of a variable. (variable stored in a config file.)
3. Then skin refreshes, now using the new value.

It's the 2nd step that has me stumped.

A bonus problem: I'd also like to know how to use another (constant) variable value to change said variable.
Thank you in advance for any help at all.

Thanks.
But this is not quite what I need.
let's say that, on every click, I want to add 10 to "TheVariableIWantToChange". But I may also need to add something like(10+another variable) too.
And just for now, a code block would be fine...

Formula=((#TheVariableYouWantToChange#)+10)

Thanks a lot! This is exactly what I was looking for !

Code: Select all

[Calculation]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((#TheVa ... #CURRENTCONFIG#"]

This is what I did.

Code: Select all

[latmove]
Measure=calc
Formula=(#Latitude#+10)

[moveL]
Meter=Button
ButtonImage=move.png
X=(#Height#-10)
Y=(5+(#height#/2))
LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue "Variables" Latitude [latmove] "uservariables.inc"][!Refresh "#CURRENTCONFIG#"]

Thanks again! This was alomst making my hairs go grey.
