Set a Gobal.int to an Inventory Item ID [SOLVED]

[Stranga]

EDIT:

I worked it out but it took a while. What I had to do was make 2 inventory windows 1 for the actual inventory menu and the other for the equip box.
Then I used this:

Code: ags

  InventoryItem *i = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(InventoryWindow2.X, InventoryWindow2.Y);
            if (i != null) ItemSelect = i.ID;

I worked out that you need to gave a visible GUI to use GetAtScreen(Take it easy, I'm a newb at scripting)
But I may upload this inventory system I made if or when I get time. It's easy and simple to use if you want to make a full keyboard integrated game plus you use AGS's inbuilt inventory system rather than create your own from scratch.

Hey everyone,

Basically what it says in the subject (If that makes sense). What I'm trying to achieve is when the player has an "equipped item" do something.
For example:

player has a key equipped
(pardon the very watered down code)

if player stands on a hotspot and item.ID = 2;
{
Do something

}

So basically all I need is something to tell and set say a global variable "ItemSelect" what item ID is in the equip box OR at the top of the inventory window.

You could just put something like this if you used a region which should be used

Code: ags

// After walking on the region
If (player.HasInventory(iLamp)){ // or whichever item you have in your inventory
//Do this
}

Thanks for replying Slasher. That is actually my back up plan if I couldn't figure this out.

if player stands on a hotspot and item.ID = 2;

I realize this is pseudo-code, but no semi-colon before the if-block. Common beginner's mistake.
Also, don't use the "stands on hotspot" event, use regions like Slasher says.
