im making a crafting system and i need to detect if there are mutiple of one item in the inventory list.
if anyone knows how, please tell me. thanks!

Various methods but if you want duplicate items one option is to store the item name in one list and the corresponding number in another list. You can perhaps fix the item numbers so item A is always item 1 in the list or just add item A to the list as and when you use it.

If you already have the list you can loop through the list and check whether the current item has already appeared either by copyng line by line to a second list or using the item # of thing in list - if that's less than the current item number it must appear earlier in the list.
