Addon: Count object types in chest

AddonNo. 9288

Synopsis

You mark a reference copy of the object type, choose the Object chest and a variable to hold the result, which is stored before conditions are checked. Only what is inside the chest counts. Use a chest you own with circuits use enabled. Useful for shops with stock or prizes that run out.

Step by step

Count an object type inside a chest

Boxes you need

  1. TriggerTrigger: Say something
  2. AddonAddon: Count object types in chest
  3. AddonAddon: Variable value in text
  4. EffectEffect: Show message
  1. Prepare an object chest you own, with circuits use enabled and unlocked. Deposit two identical objects; place a third copy of the same type and colours as a reference.
  2. Configure a “Context variable” named “quantity”, with a value. On another tile stack “Says something” = “count”, “Count types in chest”, “Variable text” and “Show message”.
  3. In the scanner choose “quantity” and “Scan all chest objects”. For “Object types to check”, use the primary manual selection and pick the reference copy; for “Chests”, use the secondary selection and pick the chest.
  4. In “Variable text”, use Context, “quantity”, numeric individual output and identifier “n”. Set the message to “Remaining: $(n)”, only for the triggering user. Save and say “count”.

Result: You read “Remaining: 2”. The reference copy outside the chest is not counted.
