"pink potion94184" Type: Cure Sips: 51.
24 alchemical potion(s) found.

(ignoring the colour of the potion)

I would like to be able to do the following:

Provide a screen report of the number of bottles and sips of each potion type (based on a variable containing single word names of all possible potions).

Create variables for each potion type containing all potions of that type (if any) and number of total sips of that potion type (if any).

Create a variable for an active potion for each potion type.

Put all potions in a container (sack/pack) except 1 of each potion that should be held in hand (based on a variable containing names of potions that need to be held)

An alias to sip a potion and determine whether it's a potion in hand (if so just sip potionxxxxx) or a potion in a container (take potionxxx from sack;sip potionxxxxx;put potionxxxx in sack)

Upon the text after sipping a particular potion type:

Your bottle is now empty

Put the empty bottle (text "empty bottle") in sack, if there is another potion within that particular potion variable assign the active potion as the next on the list, otherwise highlight that all potions of that type are empty.

If anyone could give me any pointers, it would be great,

Thanks!

Ok first of all you did a great job of giving information.
You did neglect how you got the original list
what the contents of this are:
"milky potion32022" Type: Deafness Sips: 46.
color potion(its num? or how many?)

What you meant by this:
Create a variable for an active potion for each potion type.

and last but not least you wanted someone (not you) to do all the work so you never learn a thing, Did I get that right?

I have seen someone ask about a potion control script like yours before. You should probably search through the forums to find the previous answer and then we can modify it to meet your needs.

Currently your asking for inventory tracking (what container did I throw that in?), item typing (I have 17 pink potions...what do they do again?), content counting (How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?), and a fair level of automation to boot. That is a lot to ask. Again search, find the script written before, and lets skip reinventing the wheel.

Please read the whole post before being sem-abusive. This is my 1st time posting and I was really asking for ways in which to do things, not the total solution.

I will do. Now I know what I should be searching for.

Many thanks

Your right of course, Was just having one of those days :)

It' just I see a lot of people just want the answers to some really hard problems and don't bother to think of how much work goes into them.

Something like your script has been done before do a search on
count and members name Lightbulb, that should yield something.
