Summary
Hello. I use VXA. Is there a way to tie an item quantity to a variable that constantly checks it without a parallel process? I have item limits, but the game doesn't seem to tell you if you have the max amount when opening for example, Chests.

Hello.
I use VXA. Is there a way to tie an item quantity to a variable that constantly checks it without a parallel process? I have item limits, but the game doesn't seem to tell you if you have the max amount when opening for example, Chests.
An example, you open a chest and it contains 1 Rock, but you can only carry 20 rocks at a time, so the event would deny you the possibility of receiving that rock, due to the max amount. So a message of "You can't carry more of this item" shows up.
I know you can tie items to variables and set up a conditional branch with this, (+1 to the variable whenever you receive one), but what if you are able to sell/use those items within the chest? How would you be able to keep track of that? Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I'd like help on this.
I currently use this script for item limits, but I'm willing to switch to any other if it gets me what i want.

Thanks for any help
