Ok, I'm a little confused on how to make numbers on the side of an item you have more then one of instead of it showing two of the same things.

Spuzzum has a good grouping demo.

Thanks it worked-sort of. There is a small problem though. I wanted to give the user 5 arrows instead it gave him 20. Do you know why.

Because you used the number 20 instead of 5. Try changing it to that. That, or you gave them 5 arrows 4 times. Make sure your numbers are correct.

Ok, that problem was fixed now I have one more. I have a var called arrows. But when I pick up an arrow it dosn't add to the var. Or subtract when I drop it.

obj/arrow/verb
Get()
set src in oview(1)
usr.Arrows += 5
del(src)
Drop()
usr.Arrows -= 5
new obj/arrow(usr.loc)

Ok, so that wouldn't work, but you get the idea, I hope.

No there is a problem with that because what if the user pics up more then 5...

The problem is that the number of arrows is stored as a var, and I'm applying the drop verb to the object arrows, which never goes into your contents, unless if you keep an arrow in your inventory.

It would just keep on adding 5! There is no problem with it. Now, here is a complete system for picking up and dropping any number of arrows:
arrow
    parent_type = /obj
    var
        count = 0
    proc
        calibrate()
            if(count <= 0) del src
            else if(count == 1) name = "an arrow"
            else name = "some arrows"
        drop()
            set name = "Drop arrow"
            set src in usr
            var/arrow/A = new /arrow (src.loc)
            var/dropcount = input("How many to drop?") as num
            if(src.count < dropcount)
                src << "You do not have that many arrows."
                return
            A.count = dropcount
            src.count -= dropcount
            A.calibrate()
            src << "You drop [A.name]."
            if(src.count == 0)
                src.verbs -= /arrow/proc/drop
    New()
        calibrate()
        ..()
    verb/pickUp()
        set name = "Get arrow"
        set src in oview(2)
        usr.count += src.count
        usr << "You pick up [src.name]"
        usr.verbs += /arrow/proc/drop
        del src
obj/arrow_obj
    icon = 'weapon.dmi'
    icon_state = "arrow"
    name = "Arrows"
mob
    var
        count = 0
        obj/arrow_obj
    New()
        ..()
        arrow_obj = new /obj/arrow_obj
    Stat()
        if(count)
            statpanel("Arrows")
            stat(arrow_obj,count)<dm>
