[if]

Check the manual under 'if'.

Basically you need a condition, where if you currently have the inventory item, or if you have already interacted with the item it will not display the message or give you a duplicate item.

This is one way you could do it:

Code: ags

// to be declared at the top of the page
int count = 0;

// to be put inside your interact with area
if (count==0) {
  Display("You take the item");
  player.AddInventory(iItem);
  count = 1;
}

else {
  Display("You find nothing else in the drawer");
}

Thanks man, I understand it now.

Hey, I'm very new at scripting and I've gotten stuck with the Adventure Game I'm working on. There is a drawer, that when you first open it you recieve an Inventory Item and a message. But if you close and re open the drawer, the message is repeated.

How would I go about fixing it so that once the message has been displayed once, it won't show again? I've read through the tutorial but nothing seems to be working. Can anybody help?
