AddInventory and item order in inventory slots (SOLVED)

[dronon]

I'm using the deault AGS template, and my character starts off with the key and the pink poster in his inventory, but not the blue cup.

At one point, I have an instruction to add the blue cup to my inventory, and I want it to be in the first slot, so I set: character[EGO].AddInventory(iCup,0); and then use UpdateInventory (); . But it always ends up in the third slot. Am I interpreting this command correctly? Can I get my inventory to be re-ordered as (cup, key, pink poster) instead of (key, pink poster, cup)?

Don't use UpdateInventory () after you added the blue cup and it will work fine.

Because of this (in the manual):
Note that using this function (UpdateInventory) will reset the order that items are displayed in the inventory window to the same order they were created in the editor.

Okay, that works now. Thanks!

Now that I've got this figured out, I'm going to try to implement a successive-right-click command in the inventory that will "push" an item from the first slot until it reaches the desired position. Inelegant, but hey, why not.

Is there any other reason than 'why not'? If we knew want you wanted to do, we might be able to suggest a more 'elegant' way to do it.

Actually, now that I've got it coded in, it's a lot less ugly than I thought it would be! This allows me to plunk items back anywhere in my inventory when I right-click with them over another inventory object.

Code: ags

  if ((button == eMouseRightInv) && (mouse.Mode == 4)) { 
    InventoryItem *item2 = player.ActiveInventory;
    int counter2 = 0;
    int counter = 0;
    while (counter < invCustomInv.ItemCount) {
      String location = Game.GetLocationName(mouse.x, mouse.y);
      String indexname = invCustomInv.ItemAtIndex[counter].Name;
      if (location == indexname) {counter2 = counter;}
      counter ++;
      player.LoseInventory(item2);
      player.AddInventory(item2,counter2);
      mouse.Mode = 2;
      mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModePointer);
      }
    }
