Yet ANOTHER Question from Masterofrotten!, An inventory problem I need help with Options

[masterofrotten]

Hey guys, so I have another question that I would really appreciate an answer for.

So my problem is a player in my game collects skill crystals by defeating enemies and spends these crystals in the skill grid to learn new skill. Everything is going fine except for one thing, when players collect 100+ crystals it only shows 99 in their inventory however, the game recognizes that the player has more than 99. So if you had 200 skill crystals your inventory would show it as 99 but you can spend up to 200

my question is, is there a way i can show the exact amount of crystals in the players inventory? and Could I possibly make an item like the Coin Case in Pokemon?

Any help is appreciated and many thanks in advance

To answer the Coin Case, I think you could make an item named "Crystal Pouch" or something, and make a variable that counts the crystals. Then link the item to a common event that would call a message text.

And when you use the pouch, a text message appears telling you how many crystals you have collected. By letting the message box call the variable like this.

CODE

You currently have \v[*Variable number*] Crystals.

Awesome thanks, but i am having trouble with the:

CODE

You currently have \v[*Variable number*] Crystals.

Edit: lol well maybe i should elaborate more the i named my variable [0005:Skill Crystals], my problem now is what exactly do i put in the text box to show how many crystals i have

Well, the "\v[Number]" part will look for the crystal variables.

First, when you assign a variable, you'll see that each variable have digits in front of the names. "\v[0]" command will make the game look for a variable with that number.

When used in messages, it will show how many numbers are stored in that variable.

Like, if you make a variable. Then give that variable a value. Let's see, after each monster killed, the vakue will increase by one. So when you have killed ten monsters, the variable will have registered ten kills. And when you make the mesagebox call the variable, it will say "10".



I'm kinda trouble when explaining about variables.
