Adding to arrays, help

[MrBadWithNames]

for some reason my code keeps adding to the X rather than the arreys value
example ary[X]+=1
Can somone explain to me how to add to the ary's value rather than the X

Instead of arrays you could use ds_lists which would allow you to input more than just an x value

You might be having an issue with the fact that Gamemaker has the built-in variable of 'x' for each objects x position.

Why not make your variable you're using for the array be something else?
Like 'ary[index]+=1


Alternatively, what are you storing in that array position? If 'ary[X]' is storing the object 'x' variable then doing +=1 to it would be increasing it.

I only used x as an example, the x is replaced with curr_inv_slot

add to the arrays value? an array has no value, rather it is an array of values... are you trying to extend the length of the array? or are you trying to move to the next item in the array?
