So of course, I have a problem. Is there a limit to the amount of counters you can have in one frame? Because I've been using a lot of them and suddenly I got a runtime error telling me that a counter couldn't be loaded, I discovered that it is relative to the amount of counters because the problem is rectified once I reduce the amount of counters in the frame. So, my question is, is there a limt and how can I destroy that limit?

Okay, my mistake. I just discovered that each frame has an object limit, my limit was currently set to 300, so I boosted it to 10000. Crisis averted for now.

You must be using MMF? I know TGF has an object limit or something... I never hit it thou.

That sure is a lot of counters. Are most of them hidden? If they are, you can just use a few active objects to take over them (ones that are already in use, if possible).

... Or you could use an Array 
TGF's limit I think is 255 objects, Kenley? I havent used TGF in ages, I cant really remember

Well the limit in TGF is slightly over 256, about 260...
And to lower the number of counters you could use an array to store the values and a string/text blitter to write em on the screen (I have used that alot and it is very useful.)

I try to use active objects values as much as possible.(As well as flags)
Even Global values when I can be bothered reseting them.
(I hate using counters, authough I don't know why)-Most of my games
only use about 4. Even the complicated ones.

Over 300 sound like it will be slow
if the background tiles are all active.
or there are loads of particles
or hundreds of counters

TGF's limit is 262, but some objects such as picture buttons take up 3 or so.
And yes, you do hit 300 quite easily in a big game ;P

Hmm...my game quite frequently hits 1000 for me. 
In MMF I use 1 counter usually, and lots of alterable values.
Interesting Thing: "Invasion of the Mini-Bots Beta v1.0" engine was only 236 lines of code long.

I use counters for stuff thats very important in the game, stuff thats used frequently and I need to be able to keep track of it easily (Selecting it in the event list, seeing all of its actions without confusion). For all those 'other' numbers, I try to use as many alterable values as possible. This is the best way to do it in my opinion.
