This won't solve your problem, but it may offer a clue to another investigator.
Trying to replicate your event failure, I created the following event, modelled after the one in your post #4:
By manually incrementing and decrementing TestCounter on the Global Variables, Timers, & Counters page, I triggered the event reliably every time it decremented to zero. So I gave up.
I came back and hour or so later, thinking about the issue some more. I reran the same test, just incrementing and decrementing TestCounter. This time, however, the event would not execute when TestCounter reached zero. I tried decrementing to zero 3 times, and the event simply would not trigger. This is the unmodified event that had run as expected just an hour or so earlier!
On a hunch, I rebuilt just the trigger (IF) part of the event by resetting its parts to exactly the same thing. Result: decrementing counter to zero triggered the event every time.
So, I don't know what to make of this. I would especially like to resolve this because I think I may have tripped over this one previously -- though details presently escape me.

Yeah. For me it worked every time I manually changed the value using the Global Variables page, but it failed every time I had an event modify it.
Uncle Michael suggested reworking it so the counter comparison was a condition instead of a trigger, and that seems to be working. Like you though, I'd like to know if it's a bug, a known system limitation, or incorrect understanding on my part.My system is described in my profile.
