How to subtract from an int

Sticks++ adds +1 each time , which is what I want but sticks-- doesn't -1 each time , why does this happen?For example if int = 50 it subtracts 6 and keep on going . I need it to -1 from the int value each time.

 

use sticks -= 1

 

why isnt -- not -1 thou

 

I've used -= 1 already , I get the same result . When Int = 50 and Q is pressed once , it subtracts 26 for some reason . I'm aware it won't stop at 0 but I still don't understand why it doesnt subtract 1 each time.

 

try:

Code (csharp):

1. void AddSticks() {
2.     Debug.Log("before adding, sticks was: " + sticks);
3.     sticks++;
4.     Debug.Log("after adding, sticks was: " + sticks);    
5. }
6.  
7. void RemoveSticks() {
8.     Debug.Log("before removing, sticks was: " + sticks);
9.     sticks--;
10.     Debug.Log("after removing, sticks was: " + sticks);  
11. }

Also, please post your code in Code Tags rather than a screenshot, so we can copy-paste it when helping.

 

Is it a fixed number that gets removed? or random?
Maybe u are using onbutton/key instead of onbutton/key down?

 

Thank you for your input.
I can confirm Onbutton/Key was the issue

 

Thanks for the input and advice , I'll keep that in mind next time . The issue has been resolved

 

Thanks for this btw, I had a issue with my health bar script, this resolved it.
