Displaying icon and name in inventory without doubling up on numbers

Hi Chris,

Is there a way to display icon and name without duplicating number of items. i.e. I have added two elements in my containers - one for my icon and one for the name of the container/inventory item - but then I'm stuck with two displays of the number of items.

The Display type property in an InventoryBox element can be set to Icon And Text.  It is only compatible with Unity UI-based Menus, however.  A tutorial on converting an Inventory menu to Unity UI can be found here.

Thanks for that, but at this stage changing all of my container and inventory UI will be too much work. Is there a script where I can just delete the number of items displayed for a 'text only' container or default box type? If you could point me in the direction of the script(s) my programmer could make the change.

The item count is added to the label within the MenuInventoryBox script's PreDisplay method.

Hi Chris, we have managed to remove the number of items from the text display, but not the number from the icon. Any tips are very welcome?

As in, the cursor icon when selected?  That's performed in RuntimeInventory's DrawInventoryCount method.

Great, thanks Chris!
