lua forward/backward selection

Hi,
I wonder how to code a forward/backward selection in lua.I tried to realise it via counter with
-1 and +1 but even if the code should make the counter count -1 it seems to be that it also counts
+1.What is wrong with my code?Maybe it's latency time depended?

I move incrementing to the function and I guess it works

 if MSG_NN == 13 then
 MSG_NN = 1 
 else
 MSG_NN = MSG_NN + 1
 end
else
 if MSG_NN == 1 then
 MSG_NN = 13
 else
  MSG_NN = MSG_NN - 1
 end
end

Ah,I see.Thats cool.(Like always)Will try that this night.Thank you very much. :)
Yeah man,that works!So after reading the code serveral times I understand what it does.
Piece by piece I understand more about the lua scripting.The most difficult thing to me is
thinking function style like and not line directed.But it is usable anyway. :)

Hm,after testing more intensive i see that if pushing the "4" button it counts +1 but if
the "5" button is pushed it counts first +1 and after that if pushed again it counts -1.
Sometimes it is the same in the + direction.Also the "Working" message is not displayed.
 
I have replaced calls for the function and I guess it will work better, also debug "Working" doesn't work because new messages override it
Code: 
local The_Thread_Handle = INVALID_THREAD_HANDLE
show_location(true) 
local MSG_NN = 0
function set_msg_index_plus(increment)
if increment == true then
 if MSG_NN == 13 then
 MSG_NN = 1

 MSG_NN = MSG_NN + 1

Yeah,it works better with msg_nn = 0 if thats what you meant with replace function calls
I tested this already last night.:)Btw.Is this the only way to make a forward/backward selection?And again thank's a lot for your help.

No, you can also use tables, I had an idea to create a dynamic list with them but sorting in lua quite messy.

Ah,does that depends on the limited lua interpreter we have?
Off Topic Rus:KSA 5:0 :) Congratulation! Thats cool. :)

Hm,I read something about tables and higher-order-functions like sort but thats too
high for me at least at this point of understanding.I think your solution fits better than
the table stuff but thanks for information.
