Trying to add/subtract from variable based on object state - Need some help

I am challenged trying to get simple math to work with triggers. The goal is to add 1 when the user clicks on an object in the Normal state and subtract when in the Selected state.

I have one trigger to add and another trigger to subtract based on the state of the object. 

I can only get one of these triggers to work one at a time. It only adds or only subtracts. I tried switching the sequence, different conditions. 

Any thoughts? ( I added a screen shot of the triggers)

 

  • Change "if state of ... is equal Normal" to "if state of ... is not equal Selected.

    Selected (like most of us) thinks it is normal, so in a trigger like this, reports that it is normal. Be aware the the switch between Normal and Selected takes place before any of the "When user clicks" triggers happen.

    Edit - All the built-in states report that they are Normal.
