Inventory Questions

[anguruso]

Hi AGSers,

I want to give an inventory item to another character in my game, and when the EGO gives it to the other character I want it to be removed from cEgo's inventory. Simple enough, but I can't seem to find the correct function call after browsing through the intellisense.

At the moment I have this

function cBaker_UseInv()
{
    dBakerBuyMCD.Start();
}

I believe any inventory item will trigger this function and that is not what I want, also the Inventory Item (A McDonalds Meal) stays inside the inventory. Which is not what I want.

Thanks,
Angus

You need to use player.ActiveInventory and player.LoseInventory, you can look them up in the manual to see how to use them.

And to check what inventory item was used, you can check against player.ActiveInventory, which holds the currently selected item, like so:

Code: ags

if (player.ActiveInventory == iNecronomicon)
{
  cCrowley.Say("Hah. Bedtime stories.");
  player.Say("Ah. He's not impressed.");
}

edit:
Maz- you said almost the same thing. I need to stop flash-reading.
