Addinventoy in Dialogs

[FinalSin]

Okay, now bear in mind I'm a beginner. I want to give the player inventory item 5 once he has finished Dialog Topic 2. But I don't seem to be able to - it won't accept
AddInventory (5)
Addinventory(5)
add-inventory 5

Any ideas?

[Ginny]

well, either: add-inventory 5 , or if this is something I dreamt, use run script X (like 2 or something) and put AddInventory(5); in the dialog_request global function after using an if statement : if (blah == 2) AddInventory(5);

add-inventory 5

it's in the manual. R-T-F-it!

Mr. TK, I'd like you to re-read my post. Typing in add-inventory 5 does not work in a dialog screen. And I am unable to find any reference to it in the manual. That was why I asked.

add-inventory is not recognised. Any ideas?

Let me put it this way:

add-inv X
Adds inventory item X to the current player's inventory. This does the same thing as the AddInventory text script command, but is provided here because it is frequently used in dialogs.

RTFM! It's the first command documented of dialog script commands.

Ok, I was wrong, I admit it, I was confused by your post. After having a look at the Manual, I now know you shuold use "inv" instead of "inventory". I have had no need for this command yet in my games, or atleast not in a long time, and my memore is not perfect.

Just as long as everyone's happy

add-inv 5 doesn't work. it won't accept add-inv. It also suggest AddInventory when I type 'add' but won't actually accept its own suggestion. Has the world gone mad?

Well, it's in the manual allright (add-inv X) and it should work. Make sure you're putting the add-inv 5 or whatever one line down right after the text the char says, in the correct option.
The dialog editor does suggest other non-dialog functions, but you can't use them in dialogs.

If all else fails, you can alwyas use run-script.
