Inventory items with number collected for each item?

[hokayli]

Hi when collecting items in the as2 game I been working on I want an x number of what I collected of each item. If I pick up say the same item two times instead of slot1 and slot2 having the same item filling them, I want slot1 to have x2 next to the item and slot2 to still be free until a different item comes along in the game.

I have know idea how to do this? And can't find anything on this subject.


What I used for the pick up of the item.

onClipEvent(load){
    touched = false;
    
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    if (this.hitTest(_root.tiles.char) and touched == false){
        touched = true;
        this._visible = false;
        
        _global.new_item = "potion";
        _root.slots();
        _root.game.Tile16 = _root.game.Tile0
        if(_root.tiles.char.hitTest(this)){
        _root.score+=5;
        // this.removeMovieClip();
         // this.gotoAndStop(2);
        unloadMovie(this);
        }
        
        
        
    }
}

Ok I worked out how to get the items to only add one of each different item with amount of that item but I'm having problems here, when text reads 0 in the _root.potion variable
I want that slot to gotoAndStop at none labeled frame.

on(release){
    _root.potion -=1
    if (_root.potion =0){
        _root.inventoryboxed.inventory.slot2.gotoAndStop("none");
    }
} 

If anyone knows why this aren't working much appreciated.

It looks like your problem is with the "=" operator. Using one equals sign is for setting a value; to compare two values, use the "==" operator.

For example:

...
if (_root.potion == 0){
...
