It won't!? Crap. I was way off then... Again.

Heh, Screen->NumItems(); loads the number of items that are actaully drawn on the screen at the current time.
So if you have an item loaded as the screen's special item, say in a treasure chest, Screen->NumItems(); would return '0' every frame up until when Link slashed the chest, showing the item's sprite on the screen.
Then it would return '1', until Link picked up the item, where it would be '0' again.

The same for if you used 'enemies->item', in that case it would return '0' until all enemies were killed.

You should also take into account the fact that enemy item drops would increase the value for Screen->NumItems.


I don't really get why you wanted to make that check though.

No, I was confused about what the command actually does.

[Joe123]

Oh right.

Well what did you want it to do?
