Code: Select all
local function addItemToInventory(inventory,item,amount)
if (inventory[item] ~= nil) then
inventory[item] = inventory[item] + amount
else
inventory[item] = amount
end
end
local function removeItemFromInventory(inventory,item,amount)
if (inventory[item] == nil) then return end
if (inventory[item] <= amount) then
inventory[item] = nil
else
inventory[item] = inventory[item] - amount
end
end
local function printItemsInInventory(inventory)
for item,amount in pairs(inventory) do
if (type(item)=="table") then
print(item.name or "Unknown",amount)
else
print(item,amount)
end
end
end
local myInventory = {}
local myItem = "hammer"
local myUniqueItem = {name="superhammer",bonus=5}
addItemToInventory(myInventory,myItem,10)
addItemToInventory(myInventory,myUniqueItem,1)
removeItemFromInventory(myInventory,myItem,4)
printItemsInInventory(myInventory)

Thanks, that's all I needed.
explanation would have been nice, but I think I understand. Sorry for being such a pain. Plus: I did understand tables, and I did watch SockMunkee's videos. I think I know what I know, if you know what I mean.

I've tried messing about with it, but to no avail. I've tried what I've tried, and I feel as though your judging me.
