You would loop through the collisions that the player's entity has made since the last updateworld command like this:

a really basic method is as follows:

type TreeObject

field EntityHandle
field Wood
end type

for ColIndex=1 to CountCollisions(PlayerEntity)
     ColEntity=CollisionEntity(PlayerEntity,ColIndex)
     FoundTree=false
     For Tree.TreeObject=each TreeObject
          If Tree\EntityHandle=ColEntity then FoundTree=true:exit 
     next
     If FoundTree=true then Tree\Wood=Tree\Wood-1:PlayerWood=PlayerWood+1
next

Then after your renderworld but before your flip you might do something like this:


For Tree.TreeObject=each TreeObject
    CameraProject Camera,EntityX(Tree\EntityHandle),EntityY(Tree\EntityHandle)+OffsetY#+EntityZ(Tree\EntityHandle)
   Text Projectedx(),Projectedy(),"Wood:"+Str(Tree\Wood)
next

The code posted there should give you ideas hopefully. There are 1001 ways of doing this and that is just one of them.
