Hi,
I am working on a HTML5 project where i have to add a number from an other variable.
When i do this by using the add function it sets the number after the existing number in that variable.
When i use the add function with a number (i can choose between number or variable) it works perfect
but i need the variable to add.

When i substract a variable worth is works.
What am i doing wrong?

Kind Regards, Ad

In JavaScript, the '+' operator is used both for arithmetic (adding) and for strings (concatenation). If one of your variables is a string (text type in Opus) then they are joined not added.

I think perhaps that this shouldn't happen with the Add Action, as personally that action implies arithmetic but in pure code using '+' with always depended on what type of variable JS decides it is handling - so I can understand why it happens.

You either need to specify your variable as a Number in Opus or if coding Type cast accordingly - see this for some more information:
