Another thing I need to learn has turned up. Globals, globals, globals. When talking to an npc about a specific topic I want a messagebox to show the number of 5 different items in the akSpeaker's inventory. This akSpeaker could be a lot of different npcs.

This is the text of the messagebox (it has the dialogue's quest as Owner Quest):

Number of Item01:

Number of Item02:

Number of Item03:

Number of Item04:

Number of Item05:

And this is the dialogue script fragment:

Global01.Value = http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1469160-messagebox-globals/akSpeakerRef.GetItemCount(Item01)Global02.Value = akSpeakerRef.GetItemCount(Item02)Global03.Value = akSpeakerRef.GetItemCount(Item03)Global04.Value = akSpeakerRef.GetItemCount(Item04)Global05.Value = akSpeakerRef.GetItemCount(Item05)GetOwningQuest().UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal(Item01)GetOwningQuest().UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal(Item02)GetOwningQuest().UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal(Item03)GetOwningQuest().UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal(Item04)GetOwningQuest().UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal(Item05)ItemCountMessage.Show()

It doesn't work though. So what am I missing?

global01.http://www.creationkit.com/SetValue_-_GlobalVariable( YourFloat )....

edit: Global01.SetValue ( ( akSpeakerRef.GetItemCount ( Item01) as Float ) ) in your case.

and you might want to consider using object arrays and while loops for what you do there.

No difference after that minor change... as to the object arrays and while loops I'm not sure what you want me to do.
