Inventory help

I made a drink inventory using a list. The inventory will include water, milk, tea, coffee, and beer in it when I finish it. But right now I've slammed into a mental wall.

In addition to the milk as being a drink, I want it possible for the milk to turn into cheese. Cheese, of course, is not a drink, but a food.

My problem: I don't know how to delete a "milk" item from my list when the item could be ANYWHERE. As far as I know, the list blocks almost all include the need to fill in what number, in this case, the "milk" item is in.

For example, I need something to go in this script:

when
milk into cheese button
clicked
if
Drinks
contains
milk
delete
1
of
Drinks

I'll need something different than the "delete 1".

Re: Inventory help

what you have is a good start, but I suggest using some kind of method to go through all of the list items and delete them if necessary. For example,

if
drinks
contains
milk
set
#
to
1
repeat until
not
drinks
contains
milk
if
item
#
of
drinks
=
milk
delete
#
of
drinks
change
#
by
1

This will go through all the items in the list until there is no more milk!  big_smile

Re: Inventory help

Use this.

if
drinks
contains
milk
set
counter
to
0
repeat until
item
counter
of
drinks
=
milk
change
counter
by
1
delete
counter
of
drinks
else
say
There is no milk in the inventory.
for
2
secs

or
if
drinks
contains
milk
set
counter
to
0
repeat until
not
drinks
contains
milk
change
counter
by
1
if
item
counter
of
drinks
=
milk
delete
counter
of
drinks

I have not tested it, but it should work.

I think I'll try the first one. The second one looks like it will delete all of the milk, which I don't want to do. Either way, thanks!

If you want to delete 1 milk:

set
stop
to
0
if
drinks
contains
milk
set
#
to
1
repeat until
stop
=
1
if
item
#
of
drinks
=
milk
delete
#
of
drinks
set
stop
to
1
change
#
by
1
do other stuff

if you don't need to continue the script just use stop script instead of setting stop.

Are you just trying to get your post count up? You really didn't need to post this. And that's Splodgey.
