I plan on using multiple itemstate variables in my story, but I have come across a bit of a "snag." I am trying to make an itemstate10 and itemstate11 variable, but they contain one too many characters to be created. Is it possible to make one of these system variables? If there is (which I'm pretty sure there is), could someone please explain how to create it?

 . . . ummm . . . good luck with that, I haven't really touched the advanced editor yet . . .

Try messaging BerkaZerka, BZ is the advanced editor veteran that is on a lot.

Why not just make those variables into stuff that fit? 

Like itemstateX itemstateZ?

Or just IS1, IS2, IS3, ... IS577... ect.

Okay thanks, but how is it you can put IS10,11,577,etc. instead of the whole word/s.

See Killa's post below.

You cannot rename system variables ( $ ) - you can only choose and name user Variables ( % ).

So than according to Killa's post, it's already done for me?

Yes. As soon as you created item #10, it made the variable $ITEMSTATE10 for you.

$ITEMSTATE10

Is a system variable created when you make your tenth item. It keeps track of the state of item 10 (It equals 1 if they have it, 0 if they don't). I'm lead to believe that's what you're trying to do now?

[It's already created for you is what I'm saying]
