Hey there i need some help. Been using XP for a little over a week and got so far without needing to much help but now am stuck.

I have noticed once you win a battle it will display a message box showing XP and Gold but also if you have the treasure option checked it will display the items icon as well. I want to display an icon that shows when the player opens a chests. I already know how to open a chest, display a messafe using the Show Text event but i cant figure out how to make it display the icon. I ran through all the scripts in the editor to see how they did it but its all confusing, i tried \i[X] where X is the items numbersbut it seems thats for RPG Maker Ace not XP.

I also tried looking online for a script but can't find anything (I don't want to use the advanced message box script) I just want to be able to open the chest, use the show text event and display the items icon that they found.

Could someone please tell me how to do this? I have added a screenshot to show what i want. Thank you.

Danny.
