inventory: disable clickable

[barefoot]

Hi

is it possible to disable an inv item from any clicks when its no longer needed but still has to show?

a situation has occured whereby i need to disable an inventory item from appearing. Usually the inv item (lamp off) clicked on with another inv item (matches) produces the (lamp on) LAMP effect. I would like to disable the lamp from any further clicks ie clickable.false etc etc..

Else i need to make another inv item to replace original..

Suggestions welcome

I dunno, would something like:

Code: ags

if (condition(s) here)
{
 return;
}

at the top of your code work? That way, any clicks on the object just get ignored. And, to be honest, I'd rather give some feedback to the player that the item'll do nothing.

Yeah, how does that make the item not clickable?

I suspect you want to avoid that the player reads "you light the lamp using the matches" again if they use the matches on the lit lamp, right?
If that's the case, how did you make your game all this time without using a single variable?

There's also Game.DoOnceOnly().

Lol that reminds me of the AGS game T-REX and MUSCLE SAM big trouble in S.P.F. The guy used blank inventory items as global variables.

Oh how little things make me laugh.
