[Solved] Look at item in inventory disappears during execution of event

[omegamit6zeichen]

Hi, i am using a slightly modified version of the TwoClickEventHandler

Code: ags

function on_mouse_click(MouseButton button)
{
	// when mouse is clicked, text label is cleared
	//lblActionText.Text = "";
	
	// when game is paused, clicks aren't processed
	if (IsGamePaused())
	{
		return;
	}
	
	// Left Mouse Button on Object/Character/Hotspot/Location
	// when no inventory is selected:
	// - INTERACT with target
	// - walk to location
	// else
	// - USE inventory on target
	else if (button == eMouseLeft)
	{
		if (GetLocationType(mouse.x, mouse.y) != eLocationNothing)
		{
			if (player.ActiveInventory == null)
			{
				ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeInteract);
			}
			else
			{
        MovesToItem=false;
				ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeUseinv);
        
			}			
			
		}
		else
		{
			if (player.ActiveInventory == null)
			{
        MovesToItem=false;
				ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeWalkto);
			}
			else
			{
				player.ActiveInventory = null;
			}
		}			
	}

	// Right Mouse Button on Object/Character/Hotspot/Location
	// when no inventory is selected:
	// - EXAMINE target
	// else
	// - DESELECT inventory
	else if (button == eMouseRight)
	{
		if (player.ActiveInventory != null)
		{
			player.ActiveInventory = null;
		}
		
		else if (GetLocationType(mouse.x, mouse.y) != eLocationNothing)
		{
			ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeLookat);
		}
	}
	
	// Left Mouse Button on Inventory Item
	// when no inventory is selected:
	// - INTERACT with target 
	// - SELECT target
	// else
	// - USE inventory on target
	else if (button == eMouseLeftInv)
	{
		InventoryItem *i = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
		if (i != null)
		{
			if (i.GetProperty("propInstantUse") == true)
			{
				if (player.ActiveInventory == null)
				{
					i.RunInteraction(eModeInteract);
				}
				else
				{
					i.RunInteraction(eModeUseinv);
				}
			}
			else
			{
				if (player.ActiveInventory == null)
				{
					player.ActiveInventory = i;
				}
				else
				{
					if (i.ID != player.ActiveInventory.ID)
					{
						i.RunInteraction(eModeUseinv);
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
	
	// Right Mouse Button on Inventory Item
	// when no inventory is selected:
	// - EXAMINE target
	// else
	// - DESELECT INVENTORY
	else if (button == eMouseRightInv)
	{
		if (player.ActiveInventory != null)
		{
			//player.ActiveInventory = null;
			return;
		}
		
		InventoryItem *i = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
		if (i != null)
		{
			i.RunInteraction(eModeLookat);
		}
	}
	
}

when i rightclick the inventory item the following function is called:

Code: ags

function iInvItem1_Look()
{
player.Say("this is an X");
}

but during the time the player says "this is an X" the item in the inventory disappears, and appears again afterwards

Can you confirm that this happens only to the inventory item that was clicked? If you have more than one item in your inventory, do they by any chance all disappear?
Does this happen during unrelated .Say commands?

[omegamit6zeichen]

i've checked, all items in the inventory disapear, and also when say commands unrelated to the inventory are done

Completely disappear, or "grey out"? I wrote the TwoClick module and never had anything like this happen, so it must be something you changed- did you change the "Gui display style" in General Settings in some way? Or made a new game and just copied the script into it? By default AGS greys out GUI controls when a blocking/wait command is run.

okay i found it, i was completely overlooking it:
under visual is an option "when player interface is disabled, GUIs should" .. was set to hide all their control ...

just to anser your question .. yes i was starting with an empty template ..

Yes, that was what I meant. Good you got it solved
