hello, im kinda new to the gui and variable aspect of ahk, but ive had prior programming experiance. ive ran into an issue that doesnt make sense.

when it rolls the dice, it doesnt count how many of a number shows up. in fact it doesnt even seem to be true in the if statement when it supposed to be.

the programs half finished but the problem should still be apperant
it accures at
Code:
;checks for 20s
if (20==%rand%)
   20s+=1

Code:
Gui, Add, Edit, x246 y77 w200 h300 voutput ,

Gui, Add, Text, x126 y7 w230 h30 , Pick what you want to roll

;buttons
Gui, Add, Button, x26 y77 w80 h30 gd20, d20
Gui, Add, Button, x26 y127 w80 h30 gd12 , d12
Gui, Add, Button, x26 y177 w80 h30 , d10
Gui, Add, Button, x26 y227 w80 h30 , d8
Gui, Add, Button, x26 y327 w80 h30 , d4/d2
Gui, Add, Button, x26 y277 w80 h30 , d6/d3

;combo boxes
Gui, Add, ComboBox, x126 y77 w100 h20 vd20box r10, 1||2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10
Gui, Add, ComboBox, x126 y127 w100 h21 vd12box r10 , 1||2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10

Code:
; (Bubbles1)a string, or a variable where noted
; (%Bubbles1%)retrieving the contents of a variable, where a variable isn't expected
Bubbles1 = a little soap
Bubbles2 = more soap
Num = 2

; (=)var equals value
; (:=)var equals expression
nice = doggy
HowManyBubbles := Bubbles%Num%

Msgbox Bubbles1 ; this outputs (Bubbles1).
Msgbox %Bubbles1% ; this outputs the contents of Bubbles1, (a little soap).
Msgbox %nice%, %HowManyBubbles% now! ; this outputs the contents of HowManyBubbles, (doggy, more soap now!).

Useful? No.
Informative? Maybe.

Edit: Okay, the (:=) wasn't even necessary in my example. Sorry.

If rand = mary

You can't have %Var% inside if the brackets of an If statement.

Ahk automatically looks at what's typed in a bracketed if statement as a variable. That's why you would have to do things like this:

String = False

Code:
If (String == "False")
{
MsgBox, Pwn!
}


Leaving it as:

Code:
If (String == False)


Would really mean if the variable 'String' is equal to the variable 'False' then... You get the point.

Since, as said above, Ahk already sees them as variables, there is no need for:
