Title: New Inventory gui displays old inv items from old inventory gui
Post by: barefoot on Thu 24/03/2011 21:23:44
Hi

I have just noticed, having to run my game from the beginning, that my new inventory window displays inventory from old inventory window..

In Room Load:
gInventory.Visible=false;
gnewinv.Visible=true;

The new Inv gui displays but shows inv from ginventory window.

The new Inv window (gnewinv) displays Inv items from ginventory window...  Do i need to lose all items not required in gnewinv gui?

Hope this is understandable.

Until I get some kind of solution I have manually lose all inv items..

cheers

An InvWindow control doesn't contain InventoryItems, Characters contain InventoryItems.

You need to set the InvWindow.CharacterToUse property to display a different Character's inventory, otherwise every InvWindow you create is going to show the same thing.

I don't know if there's a better solution, but I'd suggest to create an invisible dummy character to contain the second inventory.

What do you mean by that? Is this about a "Restart game" menu option?

Hi

Khris..

Well, i was starting from a later Room for testing. Obviously you have to start from the beginning to enable things to kick in like new gui's, label's etc... which i find annoying.. still..

Once I restarted game from the beginning all was ok... except old inventory was in new inventory window.. I corrected this by losing all inventory for the new inventory.. long way of doing it but its ok now...

cheers

You know about the debug commands, right?
E.g. Ctrl-S gives you all inventory, Ctrl-X allows to jump to a room, etc.

I know what you mean though, testing a part late in the game is indeed annoying due to all the stuff you have to do manually to put your game in the appropriate state.
I still have no clue about what the original problem of yours was though; doesn't matter now, seems to be solved.
