Switching Inventory Graphic

[Ghostlady]

Does this not work in the new version of AGS?

Mouse.ChangeModeGraphic (eModeUseinv, 36);

I am trying to change the graphic for an inventory item on a specific hotspot.  It doesn't seem to be working.

If you are using inventory items as cursor graphics, then ChangeModeGraphic has never worked when in eModeUseInv... you'd be better temporarily changing the graphic of the inv item, or changing cursor modes.

I used this in the "repeatedly execute section of the global script (AGS 2.7) to use a smaller image in the inventory gui and a larger image on the cursor.

Mouse.ChangeModeGraphic (eModeUseinv, 36);

So for what I need now, is the changing the graphic of the inv item. I have a key facing to the right to open doors on the right side of a hallway.  The key is facing the wrong direction for the doors on the left though.  I wanted to swap the key pointing right to the key pointing left when the mouse goes over the hotspots on the doors to the left.

I've tried different things from the manual and I can't get the graphic to swap.

Try to change the graphic of the inventory item itself, rather trying to change the cursor.

Just to override all things at the interactions you can choose a save mouse while over or something that makes such sense. put your code there.

Sorry, what do you mean, Dualnames?

I don;t know.. i think what i'm talking about was available for 2.72 and before. nevermind it.

That's what I am trying to do and it is not working.  What is the syntax?

Code: ags

  iKey.Graphic = 23;

It might also be necessary to force the pointer to update by doing something like:

player.ActiveInventory=player.ActiveInventory;

[Ghostlady]

iKey.Graphic = 23; is what I kept trying.  It does need this also:

player.ActiveInventory=player.ActiveInventory;

that is what finally made it work.
