Adding to a parameter in parameter script

Anonymous
Not applicable
If an integer parameter is increased by 1 in the parameter script, e.g.

parameters test = test + 1

the script may run multiple times during one user operation. A parameter that is assigned 1 to start with could then be 4 after one single user operation. Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks Barry,

Didnt see that little gem in the gdl manual. Much appreciated.

Too bad it doesn't work for the master script aswell.
