Mouse inventory mode

[Lazarus]

Hi at present I'm using:

Code: ags

 if (button == eMouseLeftInv) {
Ã,  Ã,  Ã, InventoryItem *item = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
Ã,  Ã,  if (player.ActiveInventory == null) { 
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if ((StrComp(verb, vGive) != 0) && (StrComp(verb, vUse) != 0)) {
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (item != null)
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  item.RunInteraction(mouse.Mode);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, else {
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (StrComp(verb, vUse) == 0)
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (item.IsInteractionAvailable(eModeInteract) == 1) {
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  item.RunInteraction(mouse.Mode);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  return;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, player.ActiveInventory = item;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, mouse.Mode = eModeUseInv;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, else {
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, if (item != null)
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, item.RunInteraction(mouse.Mode);
			Ã,  Ã,  }
 } // function end

The problem I have is that when using an inventory item it doesn't return back to the walkto mode after use, you have to then click again somewhere else to return back to the walk mode.

Is there a way so this happens after the interaction has happened?

Thanks in advance

put in some code to do mouse.Mode=eModeWalkto?

Also, and this might just be how you've copied the code here, there seems to be problems with the braces - specifically the line if (StrComp(verb, vUse) == 0) looks to be missing an opening brace, which would throw the following conditions off.

[Lazarus]

I've tried your suggestion with "mouse.Mode=eModeWalkto" between each line and it didn't seem to work.

Also looking at the braces they all seem to be there, I've numbered them for ease to look at:

Code: ags

 if (button == eMouseLeftInv) { //1
Ã,  Ã,  Ã, InventoryItem *item = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
Ã,  Ã,  if (player.ActiveInventory == null) { //2
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if ((StrComp(verb, vGive) != 0) && (StrComp(verb, vUse) != 0)) { //3
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, if (item != null)
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  item.RunInteraction(mouse.Mode);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, } //3
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, else { //4
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (StrComp(verb, vUse) == 0)
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (item.IsInteractionAvailable(eModeInteract) == 1) { //5
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  item.RunInteraction(mouse.Mode);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  return;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, } //5
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, player.ActiveInventory = item;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, mouse.Mode = eModeUseInv;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  } //4
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  } //2
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, else { //6
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, if (item != null)
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, item.RunInteraction(mouse.Mode);
			Ã,  Ã,  } //6
 } // function end //1

If I put a brace at the end of

Code: ags

if (StrComp(verb, vUse) == 0) {

where would I then Put a closing brace? I tried putting the closing brace before closing brace number 4 which didn't work and if also stop the giving command to work.

If it works OK (apart from the 'Walkto' thing), then there's probably nothing wrong - it just seemed like that line needed a brace, and I was having difficultly figuring out the nesting of the conditions.  Personally, I'd combine that line with the else brace 4, as an else if (StrComp(verb, vUse) == 0) command:

Code: ags

if (button == eMouseLeftInv) { // 1
  InventoryItem *item = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
  if (player.ActiveInventory == null) { // 2
    if ((StrComp(verb, vGive) != 0) && (StrComp(verb, vUse) != 0)) { //3
      if (item != null) 
        item.RunInteraction(mouse.Mode);
    } // 3
    else if (StrComp(verb, vUse) == 0) { // 4
      if (item.IsInteractionAvailable(eModeInteract) == 1) { // 5
        item.RunInteraction(mouse.Mode);
        return;
      } // 5
      player.ActiveInventory = item;
      mouse.Mode = eModeUseInv;
    } // 4
  } // 2
  else if (item != null) 
    item.RunInteraction(mouse.Mode);
} // function end 1

But like I said - if it works, just ignore me.



When (which condition) do you want to change to eModeWalkto? And does including mouse.Mode=eModeWalkto just not do anything, or does it actually stop it from working as it was?

[Lazarus]

When using the "mouse.Mode=eModeWalkto" anywhere it didn't work in resetting to the walk command I still had to click else where on the screen for it to change back.
It seems to remember that its holding an inventory item after it's been used on an object or hotspot.

[Scorpiorus]

AGS doesn't revert to "eModeWalkto" or any other mode automatically. You should do it manually by changing the mouse.Mode property or by deselecting player's active inventory item: player.ActiveInventory = null;

What if you put "mouse.Mode = eModeWalkto;" just after each "something.RunInteraction(eModeUseinv);" command?

item.RunInteraction (eModeUseinv);
mouse.Mode = eModeWalkto;

...

object.RunInteraction (eModeUseinv);
mouse.Mode = eModeWalkto;

...

hotspot.RunInteraction (eModeUseinv);
mouse.Mode = eModeWalkto;

etc...
