Tell player how times they have used an item

9 years ago

I hope this isn't one of those super easy things that I just so happen to missed but I can't figure out how to make it so that when a player checks a specific item, it tells them how times they have used it. I tried writing this down:

You have used %%$ITEMUSED2%% servings.

But I have a feeling I'm doing it wrong.

I'm fairly certain that only works with user variables. For $ITEMUSED, you're gonna need to use a page script.

So there's no way to actually put the amount within the item description?

Yes, you can do this with on-page variable in the Item Description.

Set up a %VARIABLE to track it alongside the Item Use and then in the Description, put:
You have used %%VARIABLE%% servings.

That worked! Made a seperate variable and had that being displayed instead. Thanks BerkaZerka.

Disregard.

^You are correct though. Sys Variables don't work with On-Page.  :)
