Sorry i mean i want to draw_text to the amount of item i have.

This is my code

draw_text(0, 0,tsprint("POTION x", global. Inventory_qty[item_POTION]))

Are this wrong?

Yes, it's wrong. The inventory is populated in the order you obtain items, so item_POTION could be placed anywhere in the inventory. inventory_qty[item_POTION] reads inventory slot 0 but ANYTHING could be there.

Oh ok, so i cant use draw_text function for this then ?

You can, you just need to read out the correct number of items (using the new inventory_get_qty function I suggested)

Oh ok, then how to draw the qty variable ?

What script i used to draw the number of value for example potion?

Yal1 hour ago

First put this in its own script,

function inventory_get_qty(item_id) {
      for(var c = 0; c < global.inventory_items; c++){
          if(global.inventory_item[c] == item_id){
              return global.inventory_qty[c];
          }
      }
      return 0;
 }

Then you can draw the quantity with,

draw_text(0, 0,tsprintf("POTION %", inventory_get_qty(item_POTION)))
