Counter not showing up

[camelman]

This counter is to count how much life my character has. I made it horizontal, counts from the right, gradient, and set initial value to 4 , and put it exactly where my old life guage was. For some reason it won't show up. I even put
*start of frame - reapper/set counter to 4

but nothing happened it still wont show up. I can see it perfectly in the frame editor though. thnx for help.

What's the maximum value of the counter? A common problem is that it's set too high (I think the default is 999999999), so with a value of 4 the area of the bar will be so small as to be invisible.

Yeah thats what it was, I set the initial value to 4, not maximum, I guess I just wasn't thinking haha, thanks.
