New value to inventory property

[mchammer]

Is is possible to set new value to inventory properties by scripting?
I didnt find any commands like SetInvProperty.

[strazer]

No, you cannot set custom properties at run-time.
Depending on your needs, use variables or check out arrays and structs.

Thnx, but the problem is I need a value witch can be shared between roomscripts and the global script. I tried to use inventory property because there is only limited amount of global ints and that amount is a way too small for my purposes.

As strazer says, check out arrays and structs. If you declare a global array like this:

Code: ags

int inventoryproperty[AGS_MAX_INV_ITEMS];

You can import it in the script header, and do stuff like:

Code: ags

inventoryproperty[iShovel.ID] = 5;

or

Code: ags

if (inventoryproperty[iShovel.ID] == 5) player.Say("I have no idea why the property for the shovel needs to be 5, but it is!");

in room script.

Edit: I recommend you to work this out by yourself, since it will be a valuable lesson in scripting. But if you should need to change a large number of properties for different inventory items, objects or characters, you could also check out monkey's properties module.

Also, Read the BFAQ (Actually, making global variables is also covered in the link strazer gave you...)

You can make a pretty much unlimited number of your own variables (single ints or Strings, as well as arrays and structs), and make them accessable to Room and Global scripts.

I completely missed that import/export part  :

but thnx, now it works.
