Item Identification

Which Egg is Collected?

Using Associative Array for saving.
Each Egg is a seperate item in a qualifier (to save on coding, as there will be 100 eggs).

The character is collecting the eggs with a hook shot at the eggs. It is all working great in the collecting of the eggs using a qualifier, but my question is "after collecting an egg" I want to save which egg was collected, so that when the game is reloaded that egg will not be shown again. How would I identify which egg is collected if all the eggs are in a qualifier, so that particular egg can be placed in a slot of the Associative Array?

I was planning on using a Global Value for each egg for identification purposes after it is collected.

Any thoughts on identifing which egg is collected from the qualifier?

Thanks,

Marv
