Need some help with items

I need either one of two things:

1) An explanation on how to create a 15 new .mdx files that would when placed as a special effect would simply show the number 1 or 2 or 3, all the way to 15.

2) Some way to convert item names to strings. There's no "item group" action and there's no conversion for item-name to string, although it does exist for unit names.

Anyone know how to pull off either?

Well, I tried converting to custom text and using the unit-name2string function on an item -- crash.

I tried filling in item-name2string function -- crash.

Found out there's no way to create new models.

Damn >_<

Can anyone at the very least figure out a way to position text anywhere on your map? Like over a guy's head or something?
