I’m performing a series of calculations in Blueprint that enumerate some C++ code, but I’m having issues with it, and I suspect its because Blueprint does not allow you to get the current value of a variable, add to it then set it all in the same function, is that right?
AnswerBase post here: Is +=, -=, *=, /= etc. possible in Blueprints? - Blueprint - Epic Developer Community Forums
At the bottom is the code I have transferred, this function is called every frame, and makes multiple changes to different variables as it runs through the code. Accel being the major one. I have what I believe to be the right method in Blueprint if it’s possible, but it doesn’t seem like it is. Does this mean I have to create Old versions of every variables as variables themselves, everytime I want to make a change before using it? Kinda sucks 
Blueprint Attempt - Notice That I’m ‘Getting Accel’, then subtracting from it and setting it again
