no
I intentionally didn't say that strings always did but I guess I should've taken more than five seconds to write my post and say "I'm not sure if strings always work with VCE variables"
They still do not if that is what you are also asking, only packaged certain event functions will work
You said "ints do not allow vce variables" but non vce events and print events are the only ones that work for vce strings, to help clear this up you never said anything about strings.
