Having the inventory permanently on screen

[Hobbes]

A bit of a problem, as all these click-processing things are confusing to me. What I want:

The left mouse click should do this:

- Walking and Looking, depending on where you click. (Working)
- Selecting an inventory item. (Not working)

The right mouse button should do this:

- Interacting with the environment. (Working)
- Looking at an inventory item. (Not working)

To handle the first action (Walking and Looking & Interacting) I use the following global script:

================================

Global Script:

function on_mouse_click(int button) {
 // called when a mouse button is clicked. button is either LEFT or RIGHT
 if (IsGamePaused() == 1) {
   // Game is paused, so do nothing (ie. don't allow mouse click)
 }
 
 else if (button==LEFT)
   {
   if (GetCursorMode() == 4) {
   ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_USEINV);
   }
   if (GetCursorMode() == 6) {
     ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_WALK );      
     ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_LOOK );
     }
     }

 else if (button==RIGHT)
 {
 if (GetCursorMode() == 4) {
   SetCursorMode(6);
   }
   else {
   ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_USE );
 }
 }

}

================================

My normal cursor is CursorMode6, which gets set as the game starts. This works fine for me. The characters walks and looks when I want it to.

Now, I have a GUI in the bottom of the screen which is always visible. The only thing it has is an inventory-screen. I don't have any additional scripts in place. However, I can click all I want with the left mouse button, but I can't select an inventory item. This isn't so surprising, because that requires CursorMode #2, the Interact mode. However, if I set my cursor to Interact, I can't walk anywhere anymore.

Needless to say, I'm a bit stumped. I've tried playing with the script a bit, but I'm afraid of messing it up entirely. I have "Handle inv. clicks in script" set to Disabled. Maybe that's something to work with?

Uh, never mind.

I set my default cursor mode to 2 instead of 6. So now everything is working just fine...

For future reference, the "Handle inv clicks in script" allows you to customize the inventory to handle clicks how you want in any mouse cursor mode.

Ah, yes. I can see how that would have helped.  

I'll indeed keep that in mind... I may decide to do an Interface-overhaul before the game is completed.
