GameMaker [HELP]...[SOLVED]...if image_angle += 1 {global.totalSpinned += 1};

Why does this not work? "unexpected unary operator +="...

What I'm trying to do is make a variable add 1 every degree spinned.

DnD and code is welcome to solving!

Use another variable that holds the last angle. If it's not equal to the current angle then calculate the absolute difference and add the value to the total counter variable. The setup should look something like this:

if (image_angle != last_angle) {
    var diff = abs(angle_difference(image_angle, last_angle));
    global.totalSpinned += diff;
    last_angle = image_angle;
}
