Dark Byte has previously provided a tutorial on how to toggle bit values on hotkey using [value~1] as the value to set.

Here is a very simply way to cycle through a list of options, which I think is a much more common scenario:
Hotkey: Enter your selected hotkey/combo.
On Hotkey: Set Value To
Value: [(value < 259) and (value + 1) or 0]

In this example, 259 is the maximum number of items in the dropdown list, 0 is the first item, and values are being incremented by 1.

Technically that explanation is incorrect. 259 is the maximum allowable value for the field and 0 is the lowest. One can use this kind of hotkey setup even if you don't have a dropdown list. If the current value is 259, the hotkey will automatically cycle back to 0 without having to write a script to do so. You can have another hotkey to decrement values in a similar way.

Anything within square brackets is interpreted as Lua code so, within certain limitations, one can take this basic concept quite far with hotkeys.

If you are new to CE, note that memrecs always work with the actual value. It does not matter whether your dropdown list displays values and/or only descriptive text. Memrecs don't care about what the dropdown list displays. You are always working with the underlying value which is usually a number.

For those coming from other programming backgrounds, the 'and -- or' setup here works exactly like the (condition ? if-true : if-false) scenario in some other languages.

Modular arithmetic is another way of getting this same behaviour. i.e. `[(value + 1) % 260]`
