|vara = varb	|set to another var|
|vara.b =	|set as table|
|vara.1 = 	|variable index 1 set, eg in lua: vara[1] (limeted to root variable)
|event.msg.item	|item from event message|
|a += 5		|add 5
|a -= 4		|sub 4
|a *= 98	|multiply
|a /= 2		|divide
|a !=		|a = nil (used becaouse you can't set a=nll )

note the character "-" can mess if it is written together another symbol

**add a node, could be**
```lua
node.add(pos( -1 2 34) "default:dirt")
```
**and...**
```lua
c = 34
