#st {Void Count: @void_count}

shows up as Void Count: @void_count

on my status bar. This is a variable, the variable has a value, why is it not showing it?

Where is the void_count variable? Can the status bar object see it?

it's in the same folder as all the other variables that it sees just fine, General Variables

Any help on this?

Make sure your status thing has the status bar option checked (as opposed to the status window option)?

Can you post the XML for your status bar and the variable?

Really can't do much with so little information.

Now this one doesn't work, on a different char

These both work for me. I would suggest checking to see if you have any duplicate variables anywhere. My guess is somehow you are not getting the value expect. Another alternative is to use the full path qualifier for the variable (i.e. \ModuleName\VariableName to see if that helps.

I've noticed that a lot of my variables and aliases duplicate themselves in the main folder. That is, I have them in a certain class and then I'll see 5 copies of them for no explicable reason.

I know you've probably heard it before, but it's either a corrupted package are bad coding. When you create you variables do you always assume that the scope is correct, or do you always create them with a fully qualified name. Do you ensure that you variables are always enable and visible when you create/modify them?

You can look at my scripting, there's never been any glaring errors of that sort pointed out. There have been errors, yes, but no one, not even any of the gurus have seen anything that would duplicate my variables. This happens whether or not I recreate my package, I have done so several times at this point.

This type of error would definitely not be a 'glaring error'. We (well, 'they', since I'm not a guru) can only see a portion of your code at a time. We can't tell if, for instance, some other part of your code is disabling your variables. You are the only one who really knows the totality of your code and can look for things like that.

So, consider the variables which are getting duplicated. Do you have anything anywhere that ever disables those variables, or the classes they are supposed to be in? That's one of several things to check.

I saw duplicated variables and aliases myself in 2.25. But in my case exporting XML/wiping my and default packages and all "layout" files/CMUD reinstallation/importing XML had help...
