Multiple inventories

[aussie]

Just a simple question.

Does AGS currently support multiple inventories for the same character?

[Gilbert]

No, currently you need to use dummy characters if you want more than one inventories.

[aussie]

That sounds clever, actually.

How do you actually do it to add an inventory item to a non-player character?

[Gilbert]

Just modify that character's inventory content direct via the character[...].inv[...] variables. For example, to add inv. #3 to inventory of character BLAH, use:

character[BLAH].inv[3]++;

You can do any arimetic manupulations with these variables.

if you want to display the inv. contents, just change to that character temporily before displaying an inv. GUI.

I see.

Cheers.
