That's not what you want; in fact, that's impossible. A "running H/F" is
a special type of variable that's used on master pages. It has nothing
to do with page numbers. There's no such thing as FigNumOnly, and if
there were, it too would have nothing to do with page numbers. 

Are your pages folio numbered? For example: 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, ... 4-1, 4-2,
...

If so, and if you're trying to get the compound page number, the first
part is the chapter number. You insert it as <$chapnum>. So the whole
string (assuming you really want the caption ahead of its number, which
I think is rather odd) would look like this (with "\t" representing a
tab): 

<$paratext>\t<$paranum>\t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>

Don't forget to define the tab stops for the LOF paragraph formats.

HTH!
