"Compute value" not working as expected

[GreyArea]

I am trying to set some tokens for mouse positions. I know that if my first position is (for example) 50, then the next positions I need are 100, 150, 200 (ie X plus 50, X plus 100 and x plus 150)

I can set "x1" to "mousewindowx" no problem.

What I want to do is set "x2" to "x2 plus 50".

However, when I select "compute from value" and enter "x1" into the name box...all it will give me is

x2=x2 plus x1.

When what I want is

x2 = x1 plus 50

What am I doing wrong?

Could you right click the action list, then click "Copy All as Text" in the context menu, and paste it here?

Set decimal [dec1] value to 50
Set decimal [dec2] value to 25
Set decimal [dec3] value to the value of [dec1]
Set decimal [dec3] to [dec3] plus [dec2]

Is it this again, maybe?

GAry that's pretty much the solution I came up with...just seemed a bit longwinded...

You can have a look at this topic. It contains both Gary's example, and one using "{EXP:}" which is slightly shorter.
