Store item number value in a variable

[Artheios]

Hello all, Gibier figured out there's might be no way to store the number of an item that a player possess in inventory in a variable. I made verification in the editor and fount nothing that permit this kind of action or did i miss something ? If someone could help please ^^.

It's not very neat but could you make an integer variable that stores item count. Then make an absolute sh*t tone of instances that take away 1 of a certain item. at the top of the common event set the integer to equal 0. In the "take item succeeded part" add 1 to the variable. In the "Failed part" tell it to add the item back to the inventory with the quantity equal to the variable then exit the event. You would have to copy and paste that code 100 - 1000 times but it's the only way I can think about how getting around this limitation. 

 

Edit: Wait I think I know how to do this in a neater way. lemme make a screenshot

It's the idea I said but instead of making a tone of instances that take 1 of a certain item. I made a label and made it loop instead. tested and working

 

edit: feel free to send a dm if you I am not clear

I see how you do it, i will try this way, thanks. But maybe it's a thing that could be added to the source code as a conditionnal option like "has X item in inventory"

That's something that is already in the engine 😅 but personnally what I was thing about was a simple variable +/- items number.

yep wrong idea^^ it would rather be more in the "set variable" function, should be able to be set as an item number in inventory like :

when choosing the "set variable" function, we should have another choice named "item number" giving access to a list of the object of the database (or inventory directly).

But have no skill in C# so i don't know how far what would be necessary to have these changes ^^.

indeed in this it would be great. Could be use for things like appleTopick - apple in inventory -­> "You still have (remainingAppleToPick)"
