Display Panel Shows Item count in message
Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2026 9:37 am
TL;DR
To have the display panel show the item numbers rather than the picture.
What?
Add [item-count] parameter that shows Show item count. this will show the item count in the message field with what ever message you have.
It adds [item=construction-robot] [item-count] which will show the image and the item count.
Why?
1. I like to see values of the the total amount of items available.
2. The issue is you have to create lots of conditions Manually just to show the total amount per condition. which is a pain to setup for each time.
3. You can still show custom messages with conditions eg <1000 as low, < 3000 as half full and > 5000 as Full with customer
4. The [item-count] can also be inside the description as well
5. The [item-count] should allow dynamically changes so i can see in real time what the progress is
6. The [item-count] can be as a new Item Count Parameter which could resolve this nicely.
point 2 will especially be useful for mega bases where you want to see the exact amount when i create my Status area for monitoring.
