I was wondering if it would be possible to always display the number of a single item that the player has, and have this update in real-time whenever your item count changes.
Thanks!

You could use "show value (inventory (item))" if it's only one you need.
If it's related to your Hearts script, you could put that same line in the script that causes the damage to make it update. |

I would highly recommend you take a look at strings for this.
I'm pretty sure that 'show string at (ID, x, y)' and 'center string at (ID, x, y)' are the only functions that show Strings in real-time. |

In the OHR font, character 133 is a heart, so I would do something like this:
| Code: |
plotscript, update heart display, begin
$0="Hearts:"
variable(i)
for(i, 1, inventory(item:hearts)) do, begin
append ascii(0, 133)
end
show string at(0, 0, 190)
end
|
That should give you a life meter that shows one little heart symbol for each life you have. Call this script from inside your damage script. |

And, again, you guys are insanely helpful.
Thanks!
And yes, it is related to my heart script, I figure that the player would most likely want their life displayed at all times.
