Adding Two Control Variables Together

[MinisterJay]

I am making a game that has gold used as points. Level 1 is easy, as the points are exactly what the score is, and this is stored as control variable [0001]. After that the gold is zeroed out. At the end of level 2, the new gold is stored as control variable [0002]. I saw something online that showed that to add the two control variable, putting control variable [0003] as $game_variables[1]+$game_variables[2], within script . Maybe I did something wrong because this has not worked.

Any suggestions on how to add two control variables together?

Not at home right now; Just from memory i believe it is this...

$gameVariables.setValue(3, $gameVariables.value(1) + $gameVariables.value(2));

Also typed on a phone (sorry if there are typo's).

Let me know if that does the trick.

When it comes to the \V[3] points, in the dialogue, it comes up with a 0. Did I input it the wrong way possibly?

Oh sorry looks like my phone put a space between the "." & "value"

It should be $gameVariables.value(1)

No space, I've edited the post above to the correction.

I tried that earlier too. It might be the type of variable I am using.

Oh lol I just realised you're using the event command (not the script command) to set the variable... the way I original gave you is all script.

To use the way you have above would just be:
$gameVariables.value(1) + $gameVariables.value(2)
