Is there a way to remove a status variable's display?

I've created a status variable, and when it goes to zero, I want it gone from the window.

Where you have:

display <Health: !>

Put this:

display nozero <Health: !>

Thanks Zelimos,

That was easy enough: or just check the box "Don't display when value is zero." I read its purpose wrongly in the ASL guide. Thanks again.

Ahh, I assumed you were scripting by hand, since you didn't notice the checkbox lol.

Actually, I did notice the checkbox; although, I read in the ASL guide, which I'm not looking at right now, so I'm paraphrasing, that the box is checked if the status variable begins at a zeroed value. This way it's not displayed when game begins, but can be brought up later in the game. I didn't realize that the process could be reversed.

Thanks,
