Need help figuring out a hackmaster count up macro

Okay I'm working on a campaign using the hackmaster system. For those who do not know hack master does not have turns, instead time is constantly moving forward a second at a time and players can take actions that take a varying amount of time to do (like casting a spell might take 7 seconds before it can go off). so far I plan to use the initiative counter for players (and enemies) to keep tract of when they can take their next action. The issue is that I want an easy way to have the current second update on the tracker for the players to see. Essentially I'm looking for a macro that will increase the number by one every time I press it and sends that update to the tracker. Ideally I would put that macro on a special token called tracker for ease of use. I want to know if this is possilbe?

Can you add a custom item to the tracker and have increment by 1? Turn Tracker

It seems that there is a macro for increasing the number every time you cycle through the counter but in hackmaster I have reason to cyle through it. Actually cycling through it is just as much a hassle as manually entering a number each count. I'm aiming to keep it static if possible.

Something this complex would need to be done by an API script.

I'm sadly not familiar with how API scripts work.

The existing wiki pages for API are geared towards those writing API, but we'll update the wiki Soon Now (TM) with a section on using API ^_^ In a campaign created by a Mentor-level subscriber , scripts are installed via the "API Scripts" interface, and allow you to do amazing things to transform your gaming experience. Browsing the API forum will let you see the range of options available, with new scripts being written by community members for community members weekly.

From the Wiki Rolling for Initiative I made this macro and a token named Seconds Increase. /w gm @{selected|token_name} [[1 &{tracker:+}]] 1 is added to the number in the turn tracker for this token every time you use the macro.

Wes I don't have time to test it now but if it works then its exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot man! To bad I'm only a supporter and don't get access to the API stuff it sounds great.

Just to update I have tested it and it works perfectly. Thanks again wes.
