I really dont know ... but I dont think you can change the maximum value while running the game/app. But Im sure there are ways to go around it ... just tell what excactly you want your counter to do (the effect you want so to speak). If you knew, I would have to kill you...

Max = 50(seconds player inputs) Always add (1) to counter " im not sure i understand, i can make something loop every .02 seconds, but whats the "max=" thing mean? say the user inputs 30 seconds, then i need the counter to be full at 30 seconds (graduly).

So if the player inputs 3, set counter maximum to (50*seconds). Then just have the event "Always add(1) to counter" For TGF it's a little bit more complex, but I think I have a percentage counter around somewhere. Kramy

Those things do look cool some times, but more often than not, they get annoying. But if you want one of those thingies, just use an active object with different directions. Oh well, another question to add to my Click FAQ. Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
