[Answered] Item Uses Remaining with Scripting

OK, you know how you can set how many times you can use an item? (Like once for a potion or something).  Is there a script that allows you to add to that?

I think I get what you mean. No, but you don't need it. Just use the $ITEMUSED variable. Later if you want to make it able to have more uses, just at the start set it as in it's only got a few uses left. Like if at the start you want a maximum of 15 uses, but at the end you want a maximum of 30 uses, then make it $ITEMUSED?? set to 15 at the start, which means it has fifteen left.

its exactly as it sounds, it stores the amount of uses in an item..

 

$ITEMUSED01 := 2

The item with id of 1 has a remaining number of uses of 2.

I've posted a thraed in the Writing Workshop.  Not even I can confrim that I'll be able to finish this one.  Also can yo uset the Itemuse variable above 8?  Cuz thats the limit on the max uses when you first make it.
