Resources
Resource replacement variables support a few additional parameters to handle displaying it to the player so it reads correct.
How many games do you see that don't handle the plural of something like "Potions", or "Coins". Reading "You have 12 Potion" is not a hard problem to solve but is often overlooked. So the resource replacement variable will handle this for you.
resource=potion,true,true
The 2 parameters after the type and value resource=potion tells the system to include the resource name, and handle the plural for you.
