Display item quantity in battle scene

[piksalh]

Hello! I'm trying to show one item (ammo) quantity in the battle scene. I only succeeded to understand that It's impossible for me to do, because i can't code at all... I would be glad if someone could help!


Layout is number which is the quantity of the item (id=100) and then 24x24 icon from IconSet.png (30). In upper right window place. You can see it in the picture added. It should be visible during all the battle or better only when player party hud is showing (basically when player can choose what to do). I use hotkey system to choose battle skills without surfing through battle commands. All of the skills have requirement of the same ammo. Every time when player uses skill, it reduces quantity of that item (I use Yanfly Engine Ace - Skill Cost Manager v1.03). That is why I want to show ammo quantity on battle screen that will refresh every time player uses skill. Because in that case player can see how many ammo is left and decide which skill (some of skills needs more ammo, some less) to use without going through the battle command to the item list every turn to check the ammo quantity.


Thank You for your patience of my super engrish

We would need a copy or link to the script that you are using to display the keys/items so we can add on to or edit it.

So it's on the top left of the screen all through out the battle?


There you go:

contents.clear
quantity = $game_party.item_number($data_items[MeowSAMMO::ITEM])
icon = MeowSAMMO::ICON
draw_icon(icon, contents.width-24, 0)
draw_text(0, 0, contents.width-24, line_height, quantity, 2)
@last_qty = quantity
end
def need_refresh?
@last_qty != $game_party.item_number($data_items[MeowSAMMO::ITEM])
end
end
class Scene_Battle < Scene_Base
alias meow_face_baw_sb create_all_windows

It works! Thank You! Im gonna test and write if everything is ok. I'm getting one error but I think it's not related with this script.

You are welcome!


This script is either using new or alias method, so it's unlikely to cause conflicts. Simply place it below your battle scripts will do.

The script works perfect and gives no errors at all, thank You!


I know I requested only one item quantity display, but... After finished setting all battle skills I see that I need to show 5 item counts with 5 different icons on battle. Is it... too much to ask You to update given script, MeowFace? I tried by myself but only getting script duplication error (SystemStackError)... Please help!
