Enemy Name Window In Battle

[ZombieBear 66]

Hello,

 

I created an enemy name window in battle (in the style of older FF games) and am trying to get the window to NOT print duplicate names. Ex: if there are 4 skeletons and 1 ghost, I would like to read:

                         -------------------

                         | skeleton   x4 

                         | ghost       x1  

                         -------------------

 

Here's what I have for the name window thus far; its just a status window on the battlescreen that displays all the names. Other than that it has no functionality and is pretty simple. I have copied a few things from Game_troop to see if I can narrow down what to do... but no luck so far.

 

I was thinking about using enemy.plural to check the number of enemies, then if it was true write just one enemy name, but I can't put it all together. Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks!
