    Counter Codes: Why are there counter MODIFIERS, but no counter showing codes?

    Why should there be counter modification codes if there are no "show the value of counter X" codes? It's not really a bug or a feature request, but it's a serious oversight which should be corrected. It doesn't make sense to duplicate a string up to hundreds of times just to show all possible values of a counter.

    There should also probably be a matching ability to export the value of a counter into a string somewhere on the subscreen as well.

    While we're on the subject, a code to insert the player's name would be nice.

    I thought of that in the past. I don't know why I didn't mention this as well.

    Definitely something that needs to be done with the way people (as in me =P) are using counters these days.

    Would it really be that hard to add these? It's more of a fix for an oversight than a request and addition.

    Re: Counter Codes: Why are there counter MODIFIERS, but no counter showing codes?

    It's surprisingly important. It'd make it easier to keep track of item counters that we don't want to actually create a real item for, such as, if you had like, six different kind of ranged weapons, and had various forms of ammo pickups for all of them. O.o Ick.

    Currently, no.
