Q2: HOW-TO: Displaying current inventory item in icon bar


The information in this article applies to:
  • Adventure Game Studio v2.13 and later versions
  • Operating System: DOS & Windows


The old Sierra games used to use one of the icons in the top icon bar to display the current inventory item in, and when clicked it would activate the item.

AGS by default includes this functionality except that the button is blank. It is now possible to display the current inventory there - and here's how:

Start ROOMEDIT, and go to the GUI setup of the icon bar. Click the blank button. The "Properties" box should now list the properties of it. Click the "Text" property and name it "(INV)" (without the quotes). The player's current inventory will now be overlaid on top of the button in the game.
