Do you use "Don't Automatically Lose Inventory"?

[Pumaman]

WHAT WHAT WHAT?

I am proposing to remove the "Don't Automatically Lose Inventory" option from the Game Settings.

AGS would act as though this option was always checked, ie. inventory is never removed automatically.

WHY WHY WHY?

This option is a leftover from AC v1. Originally, it was envisaged that using an inventory item would automatically remove it from the player's inventory; and with the lack of scripting capability at that time, it was the only way to do it.

Nowadays, I believe that the option is dangerous. Everybody should have it checked, so that you have to manually call LoseInventory if you want the player to lose the item. It can be confusing and a nightmare to track down problems with inventory if this option is unchecked.

FEEDBACK

Do you have any opinions on this matter? Are you actually making a game and have this option unchecked? If so, I want to hear from you.

Personally if I want them to lose inventory I script it in...

So Don't automaticly remove inventory is always checked on my games....

After all, how can you have multiple items for multiple solutions

[Dorcan]

I think you should remove it. I've never used it, and I don't think anybody would actually.

There's an option called "Don't Automatically Lose Inventory"?

[Squinky]

Yeah, I think it's cool to let it go...

[Kweepa]

Lose it!

[Ishmael]

I know it's there, but I never have done anything with it... my games just work... does the "Handle inventory clicks in script" somehow override it?

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Fine by me. Scratch it.

[Vel]

Yeah, I also say remove it.

[Minimi]

Yes, throw it away. The purpose of the option confused me actually... so I'll probably don't need it  

[JudasFm]

Same here; I script in any inventory losses I need

Nooo!!!  Keep it!  I breathe it!  I need it!  Don't do it!  My life will be ruined, and I am so young!  Aaah!

Yeah, the poor wee lonely thing never gets used just sits atop the General Settings looking wierded out . .kill it!!

I'll say, just remove it and put a warning in CAPS in changes.txt for engine changes.

thanks for the feedback guys - I've removed it in beta 4.

If you try to load in a game that has it unchecked, the editor will give you a warning message.
