Deducting a value from a $ in Harlowe 1.2.3
Hi, I'm new at this and I'm struggling with getting some code to work.
I have created a $ with a value set to it, and want to deduct a number for it, but it should not store it as the $ is random.
Something like this (set: $time to (either: "2", "3", "4")) which will produce a random number, but later in my story I want to call that number but deduct another number but not save it so made (print: $time -1) which I hoped would result in the random number stored in $time minus 1, but I just get an error instead.
So how do I go about taking that stored value and deduct a number?
Thank you in advance
