Pretty simple question; With the item editor, is it possible to create a stackable bait item or edit the bait so you can have more than one at a time like bombs? I assume it's possible with scripting, but I don't know how to script or use scripts yet. This is very important in deciding what I'm going to do with my quest.

Might be able to assign it to a counter. I'll check it out and see if I can make sense of it.

If you can make separate a counter on the subscreen and you set a counter reference to match that counter in the bait item, then it seems possible. And set the increase amount to 1. I haven't tested this but it seems possible.

Thanks. I guess I'd better go learn how to use the subscreen editor now. XD

Yeah, that might be handy It should work though, I'll go test it and confirm.

I got it to work, kinda...

I just can't figure out how to make it use which counter.

You have to use scripting to interface with custom counters at the moment.
Not that I know how to, just I know that you do.

Actually, this should be really simple to script.

Something like a script that says:

CODE

item script bait1{
    int counterno = 0;
    void run(){
    Game->Counter[counterno] += 1;
    }
}

for the script number in the 'pickup' area of the item editor and a script that says:

CODE

item script bait1{
    int counterno = 0;
    void run(){
    Game->Counter[counterno] -= 1;
    }
}

in the script number of the 'use' area of the item editor

where you set the '0' to be the number of the counter you are using.
I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
