Title: custom inventory hud (looked for this solution in the search, manual)
Post by: Wayne Adams on Sun 22/02/2009 04:08:52
So this is how the inventory looks:

So I wanna throw the inventory objects into the ring slots.. the HUD tools under the gui tab let you build your area where inventory items go.. but it seems to only work in a square grid format.. can this be altered?

Thanks.

The normal inventory won't work for your interface. I'd suggest using an Inventory array, along with buttons. In their on_clicks, set the player.ActiveInventory

Oh, and to answer your question, no. It's in a grid (or line, depending on how you size the control and your items.)

Don't know if you're seen my reply yet Wayne, but I'm currently working on some code that'll make this work. But I'm on my way out the door right now, so I'll post it when I get back.

Mostly I'm trying to figure out a a math function.... I was never good with trig and circles.

Hey Trent, thanks for the assist... ive been thinking of just placing buttons over the squares in the inventory screen and tryin to assign the items to those buttons.. but im not sure ags will interpret this as an inventory...
