Question regarding a macro

Couldn't decide if this belongs here or in another section of the forums, so adjust accordingly.

There is a macro I found on the forums that basically just counts the items you mine (Coal, Redstone etc).
I have everything setup properly (or so I thought) but it doesn't seem to be registering the items I'm picking up.

My question is, is %PICKUPITEM% even valid?

I see no mention of it in the Macromod documentation, but that doesn't surprise me. There being no real mention of it on the net though, makes me think it's no longer valid.

I attempted using itemID's (as a last resort since they have been removed), the proper item names (Redstone_Ore, Coal_Ore, Iron_Ore etc.) as well as the default names included with the script.

My label names are correct. I have attempted just adding 1 (int) to the variable, no go there.

My other question is, is if %PICKUPITEM% is not the right method (function, call, w/e), is there one that works the same if not similar?

For your convenience, here's the code:

Code:

$${
IF(%PICKUPITEM% = "Coal")
@#coal = @#coal + 1
SETLABEL(Stats_Coal,Coal:  %@#coal%)
ENDIF

IF(%PICKUPITEM% = "Iron_Ore")
@#iron = @#iron + %PICKUPAMOUNT%
SETLABEL(Stats_Iron,Iron:  %@#iron%)
ENDIF

IF(%PICKUPITEM% = "Gold_Ore")
@#gold = @#gold + %PICKUPAMOUNT%
SETLABEL(Stats_Gold,Gold:  %@#gold%)
ENDIF

IF(%PICKUPITEM% = "dye:4")
@#lapis = @#lapis + %PICKUPAMOUNT%
SETLABEL(Stats_Lapis,Lapis:  %@#lapis%)
ENDIF

IF(%PICKUPITEM% = "lit_redstone_ore")
@#redstone = @#redstone + %PICKUPAMOUNT%
SETLABEL(Stats_Redstone,Redstone: %@#redstone%)
ENDIF

IF(%PICKUPITEM% = "Diamond_Ore")
@#diamond = @#diamond + %PICKUPAMOUNT%
SETLABEL(Stats_Diamond,Diamond:  %@#diamond%)
ENDIF

IF(%PICKUPITEM% = "Emerald_Ore")
@#emerald = @#emerald + %PICKUPAMOUNT%
SETLABEL(Stats_Emerald,Emerald:  %@#emerald%)
ENDIF
}$$

 

Thank you. For the life of me, I could not find his thread when writing this up so I could at least reference it.

 

I guess I should have actually looked through that collection rather than pushing it off until later. Thanks for the help!
