change graphic of multiple number counters?

[StingRay]

Hi!

Is there a easy way to change the graphics of some dozens number counters?
i see no way to import an animation (0-9) within counters.

and importing EVERY single image is hell, even with shortcuts


may i miss something here?

thanks!

EDIT: sorry, i think i have to go to ANIMATION display instead of NUMBERS

If i have set the type to ANIMATION

Set Counter doesnt work for me. it always displays the first frame. any idea?

Alas importing an animation in a Counter of type Number is impossible. It works if you set the counter's type to Animation (but then you won't be able to display numbers obviously).

EDIT:
A Counter of type Animation works in a very singular manner. Its frames do not represent digits, they won't be displayed next to each other to form a number. Only one animation frame at a time will be displayed. Setting the Counter to its minimum value will display the first animation frame, setting the Counter to its maximum value will display the last animation frame. Setting the Counter to an intermediate value will display the animation frame as calculated below:

frame_number = total_number_frames / (max_value - min_value) * counter_value

Granted, the Help could be a little clearer about this.

StingRay - Could you not create a new counter with your new graphics, clone it a dozen or so times, then in the Event Editor replace the old counters with your new ones and delete the old ones? Of course this assumes they all use the same graphics.

thanks. yes i'Ve done so, but this could be a nice feature for future releases.

Yes I've suggested this a few times already, so it must be on CT's wishlist. I have created a new issue about this in the Bug Tracker.
