inventory scrolling

[Dave Gilbert]

Hi all,

Try as I might, I can't get this to work.  I have a "broken sword" type of inventory screen at the top and I can't get my game to register the button click.  Any tips?

Here's my code:

if (interface==3) // INVENTORY GUI
 {
     if ((button == 2) && (game.top_inv_item < game.num_inv_items - game.num_inv_displayed))      
     {
   
   game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item + game.items_per_line; // scroll up
   
     }
   if ((button == 1) && (game.top_inv_item > 0)) // scroll down      
     game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item - game.items_per_line;
 }

Are the buttons assigned correct (run script etc)... just to be sure

[Dave Gilbert]

Yeah, that's all correct.

I even added a bit of code to check if the game registered even REGISTERED the button click (I had the character say "hi") and that didn't even work, so I'm totally confuzzled...

[Dave Gilbert]

Never mind.  I'm a dope.  I didn't have "run script" enabled for the buttons.  

It's always something simple...

how about adding Display("hi"); just after the if (interface==3) {...

EDIT: ok

This might be in the Beginners' FAQ, the bit about making sure "Run Script" is set. HAH! N00B!!

Don't worry, I went for a week trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my demo before i realized I didn't have that set for the buttons in my GUI.
