Little question about interactions with inventory

[TerranRich]

Say you have an interaction "Use inventory on this inventory item" in AGS. If you add a Conditional to test for one certain item, and if another item was used, will the unhandled_event function still run?

[Ishmael]

No, I think, since in P:DA for example you can tell if an inventory item can be used with other inv items, since you don't get the message. Has this been changed in 2.56?

[Kweepa]

You have to call unhandled_event() manually if it's not the object you're looking for.

[TerranRich]

Damn, that's what I figured.

CJ, can this be implemented somehow? Where unhandled_event is automatically called when a certain inventory item is used that is not captured by a Conditional? Or is this not feasible?

[Kweepa]

I say you bite the bullet and use a text script for everything.
I think you'll be happy you did in the long run - they're just so much more flexible.

[Pumaman]

This used to be the case, however it was fixed in v2.54.

So long as you use Interaction Editor conditionals, it should work fine.

If you use a Run Script response for processing the inventory items, you still need to call unhandled_event manually.

[TerranRich]

Excellent! I am using the interaction editor and the Conditional commands. Thanks, CJ!

Sorry about the misdirection - I guess I should have tested that more carefully.
