Hi,

I want to work with integers but I don’t know to do this in Defold.

How can I create an int?
How can I change the int?

Lua doesn’t have an integer type.
Just avoid fractions and you still have integer math:

local v = 1
v = v + 1

Lua which is a language used in Defold scripts has no integer type, only numeric type/ number (like double). Why do you specifically need integers?

You can check support for Haxe and Typescript in Defold

Lua 5.3 introduced a new integer type, but since Defold uses LuaJIT/5.1 there’s only the number type.
