'''Show Status Sign''' events support [[RDCode#Variables|RDCode variable reading]], such as in [[Beans Hopper]].
 
'''Custom Methods''' that affect the status sign are the following:
* <code>statusSignWidth = float'''Width'''</code>: Sets the status sign's width.
* <code>forceNoFrameOffsets = bool'''Enabled'''</code>: Overrides showing millisecond offset to properly display text if this setting is enabled. Useful, but be courteous, '''''only''''' use it if '''absolutely necessary'''.
