Hi I got some nice menus going down and now I am working on Items and stuff.

My question is. Say I have a sword in my item menu. I want to click the sword and have it go into the equip menu. I want to use the minimal amount of code as possible.

Say I have my game start out with 3 potions. When I use a potion how do I make it so it says I got 2 left? How do I make it so when I use all of them, potion disappears off my list entirely until I find or buy one?

How do I move my mouse over a line of text and get a rollover text that disappears when I remove the mouse?

If these questions could be asnwered I would really appreciate it. I have DBC.

I know how to use GOSUB, GOTO and some other stuff. Dont know how to use functions so please if you explain with a function please explain.

Thanks for the help. I post in codebase soon.

well how i do it is with if statements
not sure how you have your menus setup, but something like

potions$=str$(potions)
if potions>0 then text 50,50,"potion name"+""+potions$

or if you have several potions then give each one a separate variable
I keep the text placement by inc the carried objects variable I use it to keep track of all objects and object placement


1potions$=str$(1potions)
if 1potions>0
inc carriedobjects
text 50, carriedobjects * 50,"potion name"+""+1potions$
endif

2potions$=str$(2potions)
if 2potions>0
inc carriedobjects
text 50, carriedobjects * 50,"potion name"+""+2potions$
endif

3potions$=str$(potions)
if 3potions>0
inc carriedobjects
text 50, carriedobjects * 50,"potion name"+""+3potions$
endif


hope it helps

Functions are very simple. Heres an example of a print command that sets the cursor

Function SuperPrint(X,Y,String$)
Set cursor x,y
Print String$
Endfunction

Then declare the function in your code

str$="Hello World!"
SuperPrint(10,10,str$)

Simple eh?
