item amount variable Options

[Watfordj]

Does aynoe know how to set a variable to the amount of an item you have?

What RPG Maker are you using? If you're using XP, it's pretty simple. In your event go to the first page of your event commands, and click on "Control Variables," then under "Variable" find the one you're trying to set to the item amount, and under "operation" click "set" and under "Operand" click the dot next to "item" and in the drop down box click on what item you want to set the variable to.

Simple as that!

How do you do it in VX?

If I'm not mistaken when you do control variables check the set button and then if you look down at operand check item

so same way

in order to check how many items a player has and set it to a
variable,
you must fix lines 748 - 752 of GameInterpreter - you have to do this or it throws an error.

748: when 3 # Item
749: value = $game_party.item_number($data_items[@params[4]])
750: actor = $game_actors[@parameters[1]]
actor = $game_actors[@params[4]]if actor != nil
THESE ABOVE LINES ARE WRONG


CHANGE IT TO THE BELOW LINES
change line 750.
instead of: actor = $game_actors[@parameters[1]]
change it to: when 4 # Actor

then jump to line 841 and change the code to:
when 3 # Mul
$game_variables *= value

I would like to send Thanks to Xeyla from RPG Revolution Forums for telling me this a long time ago
when I was making an item synthesis event.

Then you can use
control variable - item in inventory
then use the new variable to track the item.

Let me know if this helps
