I've noticed after I added an Interact Inventory Item Event
function iVoiceRecorder_Interact()
{
}
my item became unclickable by clicking first on the verb "Use" and then on this item.
How to make this item clickable again with the verb "use", despite having an event for Interact Inventory Item?
I'm using the Thumbleweed template.
By "became unclickable", do you mean the game no longer reacts to the click immediately?
By default, clicking with the "Use" verb on an item makes the action line change to "Use item_name with" and you're now supposed to click a second item/hotspot.
Also, with the Tumbleweed template you're supposed to put the same function in all item events, then check for the verb inside the function. Best check the example code in the template. It's in the Global Script, starting at line 180.

Yeah, I mean it should be supposed to do this, but instead the action line "use item_name with" doesn't show up anymore and I can't click a second item/hotspot.
I'll check out this line in the template later.
So you added a single, empty function and now the action label simply disappears? No idea what's going on there, it should always show the verb at least.
Or do you have code in there?
I checked line 180 for the blue cup. This function is used for all events.

Here's the event function for Interact Inventory Item
function iVoiceRecorder_Interact()
{
if (!recorded_own_voice)
{
if (!voice_recorder_has_cassette)
{
player.Say("It needs a cassette to play.");
if (!voice_recorder_has_batteries)
{
player.Say("And it needs batteries.");
}
}
else
{
if (!voice_recorder_has_batteries)
{
player.Say("It's out of batteries.");
}
else
{
if (!entered_camp_first_time)
{
player.Say("PLAY!");
}
else
{
player.Say("I will record my own voice!");
recorded_own_voice = true;
iVoiceRecorder.Name = "voice device";
}
}
}
}
}My idea is that after I recorded my own voice, the entire if-condition will be ignored by setting recorded_own_voice to true. After that, I want to use the verb "use" on this inventory item (voice recorder) to interact with other hotspots/objects/items, but nothing happens.
Found an solution for my problem. Thanks to
@CaptainD for pointing it out.
Although I've read the documentation of the Thumbleweed template I hadn't found anything about "using-inventory-item" until now.
