I tried the modulo method but I saw that if the user change the max value to a value less than the current value, the counter never resets again ...
Hm, it should reset. If you have a [mod 10] and you send a current value bigger than 10 into it, say 12, then out you get a 2 which is fine and what is wanted generally.
I tried the implementation with the [select] object and I put and extra select to be sure that the counter never exceeds the maximum of 8 steps.
I'm away from Pd at the moment so I cannot test your patch, but I find counters stopped or reset by only one value to be a bit "dangerous", because you always have to make sure that this value is actually reached. There are a couple of things that could go wrong. For example if you count only even values like 0 2 4 ..., [select 11] will never select anything. ANother common danger is trying to compare floating point values lke [select 1.001] or [== 0.01], which also will not work generally.
That's why I generally recommend the [mod] counter for counting.
