Hi,

I'm attempting to auto increment a variable but cannot figure out how to achieve this. I looked at this:

&nbsp;https://www.finalbuilder.com/articles.aspx?ID=6

However the 'Set Variable' dialog box looks different to the one in final builder 7 (build 515) and I cannot get any integer based modifiers to appear in the list box (they are always text modifiers) even though it's being forced to 'integer'.

I must be overlooking something simple because I would assume it should be a trivial thing to-do.

Thanks
