Gold amount on menu

[Nahchito]

Hi guys, i spent the last 2 days trying to figure out how can i add the gold amount in the menu, like, under character or inventory.
I'm checking in EO's source but i cant get it right.
Any clues?

I'll be giving variables that you'll need to used to get the amount of gold and how to display it…

```
Amount = CStr(GetPlayerInvItemValue(MyIndex, *INSERT 1*))
```Amount is our variable to get how many gold we have.
Change the *INSERT 1* to the item number you have your gold. (ex: number 14 is the item number i have set my gold to in the item editor)

_________________
Create a label,(NAME IT lblGold) make sure it's set to 0!!!
then use this piece of code to actually update the label to how much money you have:

```
If GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex,*SAME INSERT*) = 1 Then '1 = gold :P
                            frmMainGame.lblGold.Caption = Format$(Amount, "#,###,###,###")
                        End If
```
There you go :)
