Counter uses the number of another counter from other frame.

So i'm doing a rpg, in which there's a character selection.

when you choose a character, it changes the number of a counter to something. in my case its 7.
so you start the game, and there's a counter that uses the same number saved previously, which is 7.
so, if counter is equal 7: make the character you selected appear in it.
what i'm doing is VERY specific so i'm trying to explain the best way.
TL;DR:

How to make a counter from one frame use the current number of a counter of another frame?

i tried using files, but some serious problems happened.

use a global value

It depends if you want the data to be saved when the game is closed.

If so, use the INI object. If not, use a global value or make the counter a global object (in RunTime options).

that's ok except i have no idea HOW to do that, the thread itself asks how do i do it.
also, advaith, how do i do that?

This is how to make the counters sync the value with Global Objects. NOTE: this will not save the data on the computer, so it is lost when you close the app.

1. Go to Application Properties and create a new Global Value from the Values tab. (I named mine "count")
2. make this condition on all the frames: Always: Set Counter to Count.

I have attached an example.
Example controls:
left mouseclick to add
right mouseclick to switch frames
middle mouseclick to subtract.

You can use the Debugger to see the global value and the frame number.
