Values jumps from positive to negative and they reaches 0

It's my first post on this forum so I'm sorry if I put it in wrong place.

I've just started playing with Clickteam and I have a problem. I made a button with incrises one value 1000 times. After about 4 clicks it shows strange random value. I keep clicking and value jumps from positive to negative and it reaches 0. I don't know why. I have second "counter" (it's text, which shows alterable value of 1 object. First one is the same) with the same button to multiply it by 1000 and this counter works. That first one shows very big numbers. Second one shows them in scientific notation and there is no problem to click it 20 times and value is still ok. (I know my english and description of my problem aren't perfect)
What should I do?

I don't know why that happens, but if you upload the MFA file, I could take a look at it and maybe figure it out.

There is a lot of stuff which is not important in it. Should I remove it or send it all and explain what is what?

Oh, yeah, if you can, make a new MFA with only the objects and code relevant to your problem.

Whenever I have a problem that I can't seem to solve, I start by creating a new MFA from scratch of the part that isn't working so I can post it on the forum for help. While making this MFA though, I often figure out what the problem is myself.

I have no idea why in my "game" this second one works... Here I have 2 "counters" which don't work.

in your "game" when you press 4 clicks on the second working one what number does it display?

When I click 4 times on my working one it displays number in scientific notation and it can go up to very big numbers. This one which doesn't work you can see in that file. I would like to have working counters only, but I don't know why one works and other one doesn't.

Zwyrolek's example above in words:

(Alterable Value A = 1 for both Active objects)

Always
- String 1: Set alterable string to Str$(Alterable A( "Active 1" )
- String 2: Set alterable string to Str$(Alterable A( "Active 2" )

User clicks with left button on "Active 1"
- Active 1: Set Alterable Value A to 1000 * Alterable Value A( "Active 1" )

User clicks with left button on "Active 2"
- Active 2: Set Alterable Value A to 1000 * Alterable Value A( "Active 2" )

Clicks: 1000 | 1000000 | 1000000000 | -727379968 | -1530494976 | -1486618624 | -559939584 | -1593835520 | -402653184 | 173741824 | 0

@Zwyrolek (back up your game first :)) then try removing everything from your game, just leaving the working one only and nothing else, and nothing else in the game & see if it still works. if it does post it here so we can compare the difference.

Zwyrolek, I don't see a different result in your example. Both values have the same numbers.

Wodjanoi, I know. In my "game" there are 2 counters, they should work the same and they don't. On of them works good. If you could tell me what to do to make that counters working I would be happy. It's funny I can't find any difference in them in my "game". I hope you will tell me how to fix counters like in my example.

So what you need is correct increase of the Alterable Values? (1 | 1000 | 1000.000 | 1000.000.000 | 1000.000.000.000)

Then you can do something like this for example:
User clicks with left button on object
- Set Alterable Value A to 1.0 * Alterable Value A( "Active" ) * 1000

Oh, I think it works. Thank you!

oh yh i forgot about the decimal points X) (thanx for the reminder wodjanoi ;))

if u add a decimal point to a number then it doesnt round the number.

u can also do it as just 1000.0 * Alterable Value A( "Active" )


oh, & welcome to the forum zwyrolek :)
