The Assigment examples in the wiki deal with a variable +1 or -1

So how do I say

variable = variable - 0.1

in LSL?

Have you tried:

variable = variable - 0.1; ???

variable = variable - 0.1;

variable -= 0.1;

for increments or decrements of 1 you may also want to use:

++variable or variable++
--variable or variable--

note that if the ++ or -- is to the LEFT of the variable, that operation will be carried out first, before the rest of your equation takes place if the variable is part of an equation. If the ++ or -- is to the RIGHT, then the equation will be calculated first, and then the variable will be incremented or decremented.

Thanks Squirrel, clear concise answer.

Does

variable =- 0.1;

produce anything sensible?

Do you consider compiler errors to be sensible? If not, the answer is 'no'.

It's gotta be the operator then the equals sign.. +=, -=, *=, /=.
