[Scripting Question] How to set Variable to one after using move

[MaroontheDragon]

I know pretty much nothing about coding but I want to create a move function where a custom move adds 1 to a variable when you use it. It seems simple so I imagine it's not hard but again, I don't know squat about coding and instead of watching an hour long YouTube video I'm just going to ask you guys. You can just call the variable 'test' for this example.
Edit: I figured out how to use add variables but for some reason it isn't sticking after battle. Here's the code I used:

class PokeBattle_Move_200 < PokeBattle_Move
def pbEffectAfterAllHits(user,target)
return if !target.damageState.fainted
return if !user.pbCanRaiseStatStage?(:ATTACK,user,self)
$game_variables[0026] += 1
end
end

For a base I used fell stinger

Haha, it actually is sticking around, but not quite where you think it is!

You see, when you put leading zeros in front of a number in ruby, ruby treats it as an octal, a base 7 number. So instead of adding one to variable 26, you were actually adding 1 to variable 22.
You can check it in the debug menu to see for yourself :)

Of course, the fix is simple, just 26, no zeros, is good enough. Glad to see you figured out how to add to a game variable by yourself though, learn some knowledge by searching for that information :)
