Making Variables Bigger

Hi. I have a suggestion that would be a big help for me in scratch. I want a way to make your variables bigger. This could be good for people who makes clickers (like me) and people that don't know how to make a custom counter. I know there are many tutorials out there but they never work for me. They can't be infinitely going because they are for a clicker.

I think that it’s fine the way that it is, and changing the size isn’t really required in my opinion.

Try finding a free custom counter from the Search bar; there are a lot of those!

The thing is none of them work for me. Did you not read the whole thing?

Variables are after all only meant to store data, not to display it. If you wish to be able to display a value the way you want it and with the size you want it to be, use a text engine. You can find some pretty nice functional ones here, but make sure to credit the person from who you use the text engine.

No support. I agree with @NilsTheBest. The primary feature of variables is usually to store data, not display it. I get that you need a text engine for your clicker games, so I suggest using one of @theChaotic's (Clone Text Engine & Stamp Text Engine) because they are fairly easy to use and work well, but they also have tutorials inside the projects on how to use them in your projects.

I used to use those text engines when I was first starting out, and they work very well.

But I bet lots of people can't make a custom counter and use the variables to display numbers. A bunch of clickers don't have custom number counters which means alot of people probably don'y know. Like me. Also, Ijust checked the things but they need heaps of changing variables and I didn't know what variable would go where.

I suggest @Dairop's text engine then. Inside the project there is a very nice explanation on how to use the text engine, and what does what. (here's his text engine)

Yeah, I know that. I just don't know how to make it change whenever you click a sprite.
