im trying to change an alterable value have it set to a different alterable value, plus a second one. so alterable value of object 1 (o1) is o2's alterable value A, plus 03s alterable value A. so... im wanting o1's AA = o2's AA + o3s AA. i keep getting a syntax error though. heres what the actual lines look like.

ok so this is even more frustrating than i though. i tried to set a spot in an array to an alterable value of an object. it worked with object 1, but i do the EXACT SAME THING with object 2 and get a syntax error. what the hell? and i also think i managed to figure out what was wrong with my previous syntax, but when i got it right it said cannot mix strings and numbers, but im grabbing 2 alterable VALUES not string. so whats mmf2s issue here?

Edit:
Totally not trying to spam my own post here but i opened a secondary test file and in the new one i discovered that i could do exactly what im trying to do as long as i do not name my active objects alterable values. any particular reason for this? its going to make it incredibly complicated to keep up with all these different alterable values... i have to do this code for 5 values on 5 different objects. gonna get kinda confusing...

I'm not sure if this would throw an error but Arrays are "text arrays" by default, so if you're using it to store values you may have to change it to a number array in the object properties first.
