I need to make a variable equal to equipment amount

[Noah_Black]

I really need one of my variables to be equal to the amount of my equipment (i.e.: if my hero is holding 99 Bronze Swords, my variable should be equal to 99). The only problem is in the Variable Operations screen, I can only set it to the amount of items, not the amount of equipment. I wasn't sure if there was a way to do it without scripting or not, so I posted here. But if scripting is a solution, that's fine.

1st, better i.e.: (if my hero is holding 5 swords, 2 shields & 3 rings, my variable should be equal to 10)

Assuming that's true, you need 2 script event commands:
(one to count weapons, one to count armor)
(split in 2 because it won't all go in 1 command window)

#initialize variable 10 to zero
$game_variables[10] = 0
# count weapons
for i in 1...$data_weapons.size
  if $game_party.weapon_number(i) > 0
    $game_variables[10] += $game_party.weapon_number(i)
  end
end

# count armors
for i in 1...$data_armors.size
  if $game_party.armor_number(i) > 0
    $game_variables[10] += $game_party.armor_number(i)
  end
end

This sets variable 10 to the total number of equipment items in inventory.

(yes, I pretty much swiped this from the Window_EquipItem script)

Be Well
