Title: Change objectX to Active Inventory image and show inv name and not ID..
Post by: Slasher on Thu 03/04/2014 08:41:17

Hi,

at the moment I have an object (objectX) that reflects whatever inventory graphic is currently active.

I usually do this inventory item by inventory item and change objectX's graphic accordainly.

What would be the best way to change objectX to reflect active inventory graphic without have to list each one?

cheers for any help

thanks

I think this:

Code (ags) Select


if (player.ActiveInventory != null)
{
    objectX.Graphic = player.ActiveInventory.Graphic;
}
else
{
    objectX.Graphic = N; // where N is a "no item" graphic.
}

Thanks Crimson (nod)

Of course I overlooked one thing, my inventory items have a black background whereas their cursor images have not :~(

This sorts out that issue:

Code (ags) Select

objectX.Graphic=player.ActiveInventory.CursorGraphic;

Happy days (laugh)

EDIT: Secondary question regarding above:

Code (ags) Select

 cCharles.Say("I don't think %d will do much",player.activeinv);

Shows inventory ID whereas I would like the Inventory NAME ie Grease, Cloth etc etc

As like: "I don't think Cloth will do much"

cheers

I'm surfing using my mobile atm. So, I can't test it. But the code should be something along the lines of:

Code (ags) Select


cCharles.Say("I don't think %s will do much", player.ActiveInventory.Name);
