Math Equation Question
I have a few numeric entry boxes set up to subtract from Variable1. Is there a way (even roundabout) to make it so the value of the numeric entry boxes doesn't continue to get subtracted if the lear...
Since you always want to subtract the value of the text-entry box from a consistent value in Variable 1, don't do the calculation within Variable 1. Instead, do the math in another variable. For example, create a variable called Calculation. Then use this series of triggers to set its value:
- Adjust Calculation to equal Variable 1.
- Subtract the TextEntry value from Calculation.
Those triggers will always subtract the current value of the text-entry box from Variable 1. And that means you don't have to add back a value that was already subtracted.
