Have a simple counter from 0 - 7. The first click is not counted...why?

Ok..so the counter is not interpreting 0 = origin or null but rather as a number. If I am at origin and I click once, then in human terms that would represent 1. So what is the origin state of the counter? There is no null value that I can see to register a count from? I just would have thought the first click actually does represent 1 else where is it counting from? I am struggling dealing with deviations from 30 years experience of coding in other languages...argh.

Sending the message "set $1" will set it's value without output.
So loadmess set 1 will force it to be at 1.

Thanks for the workaround...I would still count it as a dysfunction?

It's just how it works and how it's been working for.... years.

I'm just amazed no one questioned the logic...I guess it would need a backwards compatibility flag...but if I'm the only one that's noticed...I guess it doesn't matter but it really is illogical...but 0 + 1 = 1

Thanks chapelier
