Re: RPG Indicators

Well, yeah, and as someone else pointed out you could do
all the indicators in one variable, then move them all back.

In any new programs I write I try to use indicators within
a line or two of where I set them.  So, in theory, you can use
any indicator you want, as long as you use it within a line or
two of where it is set.  I only use indicators where absolutely
neccessary, such as Chain.
