Title: Problem with calling inventory ID (SOLVED)
Post by: Akumayo on Wed 22/03/2006 22:14:38

I have the following if statement:


if (inventory[player.ActiveInventory].ID == GetGameParameter(GP_NUMINVITEMS,0,0,0)) {

However, even though I've called for the item's ID number, I still get the error:

Type mismatch: cannot convert 'Inventory Item*' to 'int'

Is inventory[player.ActiveInventory].ID not an int?

Hmmm...you appear to be a bit confused about the way things work.

player.ActiveInventory is an InventoryItem* (pointer-to-InventoryItem), not an integer. To get the integer value of this item, you can just type player.ActiveInventory.ID.

You could type inventory[player.ActiveInventory.ID].ID but that's pointlessly redundant.

So, replace that line of code with:

Code Select

if (player.ActiveInventory.ID == GetGameParameter(GP_NUMINVITEMS,0,0,0)) {

Ahh, thank you. That was the problem.
