Show Status Sign is an event in the VFX tab that generates a Status Sign in the top left of the level.

The options in the properties are Sign Text and Duration. The Sign Text option has a small text box that fits 3 lines in it. The Duration option has a number entry that is based on beats.

Duration Duration (Float) How much time the sign will appear on the screen.

Sign Text
The sign text is a text box that shows text on the sign. The text box doesn't have any limits, but only shows some parts of the text in the sign. You can have the maximum of 2 lines, and 44 characters per line.

Duration
The duration can be switched between seconds and beats by clicking on the "Beats" text. The maximum duration for both Beats and Seconds can be 9999999 (7 digits).

Advanced

The sign text supports RD Code which can be used to tell BPM drifts using the {bpm} variable or it can be used to say the score of your RDCode level, for example in Beans Hopper.
