You can't add or subtract something from a TEXT var.

Couldn't you just do

suffix = ""

?

_> I'll just change the weapons name. I was using it for Gemming, like...
suffix += "Equiped"
suffix += "+1"
suffix -= "Equiped"
But, thanks anyways.

Surely you can do:

suffix = "Equiped"
suffix = "Equipped +1"
suffix = "+1"

?

From the sounds of it, no he cannot. It sounds like he is wanting to add/remove to/from the suffix while leaving everything else in it intact while not knowing what else may or may not be in the suffix.

Just make your own small function to generate a suffix for you.
obj/weapon
    var/list/suffixes=list("weapon")
    proc/suffix_update()
        var/T=""
        for(var/S in suffixes)
            T+="[S]"
        suffix=T
mob
    var/obj/weapon/weapon
    verb
        equip()
            weapon=locate()in contents
            if(weapon)
                weapon.suffixes+="Equipped"
                weapon.suffix_update()
        unequip()
            if(weapon)
                weapon.suffixes-="Equipped"
                weapon.suffixes_update()
                weapon=null
        enchant()
            if(weapon)
                weapon.suffixes+="+1"
                weapon.suffix_update()

You can add to them, just not subtract.
