Change line tool Width programatically?

Question

Hello,The line width tool can be decreased/increased with [ and ], but unlike the brush size, its value increases just by 1 pixel regardless of the current value. I wanted to write a function to decrease/increase depending on the current value just like the brush tool. Although I was able to read the current value, I found no way to change it programmatically.

#target photoshops2t = stringIDToTypeID;c2t = charIDToTypeID;if (currentTool == 'lineTool') {    //get current tool property from application    (r = new ActionReference()).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('tool'));    r.putEnumerated(s2t('application'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));    // get and save currentToolOptions object from tool property    var cto = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(s2t('currentToolOptions'));    // get and save LnWd integer from currentToolOptions    var lineWidth = cto.getInteger(c2t('LnWd'));    // put new size to saved currentToolOptions    cto.putInteger(c2t('LnWd'), lineWidth + 5);    // describe 'path' to the object with which we will perform actions    (r = new ActionReference()).putClass(s2t(currentTool));    (d1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(s2t('target'), r);    // put  object that we pass along this 'path'    d1.putObject(s2t('to'), s2t('target'), cto);    // perform the set command     executeAction(s2t('set'), d1, DialogModes.NO);}* try to understand how it works to achieve better results in the future** you can read a little about how to explore built-in objects here Action Manager Scripting
