Sum two or more variables

[Mickets]

Hello,

I searched for this but could not find a sure answer.

First, let me explain what I'm trying to do.

I want to set location state levels, starting at near cell tower, then
local (via network), then near Wi-Fi. If entering one of these states,
then %MYPLACE would increase (1, then 2, then 3).

Originally I had attributed each state level a value, from 1 to 3. But
then I bumped in to problems and loops:

State: Near Cell; %MYPLACE < 1
Enter Task: Set %MYPLACE = 1, turn on APN
Exit Task: Set %MYPLACE = 0, turn off APN

This of course generated a loop.

To make a long story short, I decided to split the place in to
different values:

%MYNEAR = 1
%MYIN = 2
%MYWIFI = 4
%MYCONNECT = 8

%MYPLACE = %MYNEAR + %MYIN + %MYWIFI + %MYCONNECT

So, for example, if:

near cell -> 1
Near cell and in location -> 3
Near cell, in location, and near wifi -> 7

The reason why they double is because for some reason the phone is,
for example, still near cell tower (1) and WiFi (4), but loses state
%MYIN, then the sum is 1 + 4 = 5, which is still higher than only near
cell or near cell + in location.

This way I can maintain a location level state, even if one of the
lower level values is lost.

And a profile would now look like:

----------------------
Profile 1

Context: Near Cell, %MYPLACE < 1

Enter Task: set %MYNEAR = 1, MyPlaceCalc (set %MYPLACE = %MYNEAR +
%MYIN + %MYWIFI + %MYCONNECT = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1

Exit task: clear %MYNEAR (%MYPLACE remains unchanged, so it is still 1
and this profile will no longer be active)
---------------------

-----------------
Profile 2

Context: In Location, %MYPLACE < 2

Enter Task: set %MYIN = 2, MyPlaceCalc (set %MYPLACE = %MYNEAR + %MYIN
+ %MYWIFI + %MYCONNECT = 0 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 2

Exit task: clear %MYIN (%MYPLACE remains unchanged, so it is still 2
and this profile will no longer be active)

-----------------------



What I'm bumping in right now is getting
%MYPLACE = %MYNEAR + %MYIN + %MYWIFI + %MYCONNECT to work.

I made a task, MyPlaceCalc, where %MYPLACE is set to
%MYPLACE = %MYNEAR + %MYIN + %MYWIFI + %MYCONNECT, and DoMath is
enables.

I can see the phone enters state where %MYNEAR is 1, and turns on APN.
But %MYPLACE still remains zero.

I though of trying to use Variable Add instead and set %MYPLACE +
%MYNEAR, etc.

But before I proceed, I would like some guidance if I'm going in the
right direction, or if the original variable sum I want to make should
work (%MYPLACE = %MYNEAR + %MYIN + %MYWIFI + %MYCONNECT)

Thanks for any advice.

Turn on Menu / Prefs / More / Popup Errors Warnings. In the task,
before you do the big adding action, flash (or popup, or write to
file) the values of all the variables.
