Much better. I do appreciate all of your help. I was thinking var seemed like a different language, but I didn't want to say that, heh.

In regards to removing the count, is there any way to format this to just exclude some items from the count?

Hmm, do you have an example? I'm not sure what exactly you mean.

Lets say I want a number and (s) beside all things except (some copper) (some gold) (a gold) (a copper)

Putting a number beside currency really throws me off. heh.

Conceptually, you need to store a list of these exceptions somewhere. For each item you display, you need to check that list and do something different if it's in that list.


-- The list doesn't need to (and arguably shouldn't) be in
-- the trigger itself; you could put it in your script file
-- (minus the 'local' and probably changing the name) so
-- it's only created once.
local blacklist = {
  ["some copper"] = true,
  ["some gold"] = true,
  ["a copper"] = true,
  ["a gold"] = true,
}
-- blacklist["foobarbaz"] returns nil
-- blacklist["a gold"] returns true
-- This is perfect for an if condition.

for k,v in pairs(counts) do
  -- Check the blacklist
  if blacklist[k] then
    Note(k)
  else
    local plural = (v != 1 and "(s)" or "")
    Note(("%i %s%s"):format(v, k, plural)
  end
end
