GMCP - counting how many of an item in a room

[iron]

How would I count multiple items in a room using GMCP and do something different depending on if there were one or two (or more) of them?

Currently I have:

for _, v in pairs(gmcp.Char.Items.List.items) do
if v.name == "a monolith sigil" then
info("A monolith is here!")
end
end

If I am in a room with two monoliths, it will send the info message twice. What I would ideally like to do, however, is to have one info message if there is only one monolith sigil in the room (saying 'Get another sigil!') and a second info message if there are two or more monolith sigils in the room (saying 'All safe here!')

Any help or guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks!

This should do it for ya:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

local c = 0
for k,v in pairs(gmcp.Char.Items.List.Items) do
  if v.name == "a monolity sigil" then
    c = c + 1
  end
end
if c == 1 then
  info("Get another sigil!")
elseif c == 2 then
  info("All safe here!")
end
