No of items in variables

[Angel_FX]

What I'm trying to do is to store in a variable the amount of a certain item. I tried this:

$game_variables[3] = $game_party.item_number[1]

but it didn't worked...

Another thing I don't know how to do is to count the total items. Not the total amount, but the amount of kinds of items (hard to explain). For example: I have 2 Potion, 3 High Potions and 1 Full Potion. In total I have 6 items and what I want is the 3 kinds of items.

The same goes to weapons and armor.

I tried to explain the best I could (my english isn't that good). If you don't understand something please tell me.

Thanks for reading ^_^

EDIT: Question No 1 Solved. Typed it wrong in the editor...

Why do you need this done with a script instead of a variable? Just curious.

You can try pasting this code just above main:

class Game_Party
  ##
  # Returns the total amount of items in possession.
  #
  def no_items
    result = 0
    for key in @items.keys
      result += @items[key]
    end
    return result
  end
  ##
  # Returns the number of unique items in possesion.
  # I.e. how many different items the party has
  #
  def no_unique_items
    result = 0
    for key in @items.keys
      if @items[key] != 0
        result += 1
      end
    end
    return result
  end
end

Usage:

$game_variables[3] = $game_party.no_unique_items    # number of different items
$game_variables[3] = $game_party.no_items    # number of total items

Tell me if you can get this to work ^_^

It works!
I made a simple change to your script to work with weapons and armor.
I hope you don't mind ^_^
Thanks for the help Zeriab!
