Stackable Potions!

I've figured out a way to make stackable potions :ggani:

Heres the info:

You can pickup up to 5 potions of a type.
You cannot drop potions once you pick em up (with a custom inventory system, this would not be much of a drawback) With a bit more advanced triggering and some variables I'm sure you could have up to 30 potions (in 6 stacks of 5) in your inventory, and have them be droppable too.
When you drink a potion your number of potions decreases.

Its done with a series of 6 items (1 for a potion on ground, and 1 item for 1,2,3,4, and 5 charges)

When you pickup a potion on the ground it replaces it with a potion with 1 charge.
When you pickup another potion it will detect if you have one potion in your inventory already, if you do it will stack 1 more potion. This continues until you have stacked 5 potions. At that point the trigger will be disabled and you will not be able to pickup anymore potions until you use one.

I tried to get them to work in shops but it had no success. For some reason even with a Unit sells item (and I tried loses item too) it would not turn on a trigger required for picking up more potions. (Perhaps I should try using variables instead of turning off triggers)

Anyway, heres the map :ggani:
