Question about Inventory items

[Cyberion]

Hello,

currently i have a problem with my inventory items, i'll explain.

I'm using the controls where Player Char moves by using arrow keys and Interact with Left Mouse click and Loot at with right mouse click.

When i select item in inventory it becomes mouse cursor, but i can't switch it off. Remember in "The Dig", you select the item from inventory and you interact with the help of this item, but when you pressed right mouse button it returns you to your default interact mouse mode.  I wounder how i may do so? So far i select the item and it stays as my mouse cursor and i can't change it with right mouse click as it is in look mode. Where i need to write SetCursorMode or what ever line?

in the rightclick section put

if (character[EGO].activeinv >=0){
character[EGO].activeinv = -1
}

I do not know I can't make it work, i made everything i could (i really suck at scripting as i do not know anything about C++ or any other language, so for me it's a real pain in the A**.


Here is my code:

function on_mouse_click(int button) {
  // called when a mouse button is clicked. button is either LEFT or RIGHT
  if (IsGamePaused() == 1) {
    // Game is paused, so do nothing (ie. don't allow mouse click)
  }
  else if (button==LEFT) {
    ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_USE);
  }
  else if (character[VOICE].activeinv >=0){    // right-click, so cycle cursor
character[VOICE].activeinv = -1;
    ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_LOOK);
   
   }
}


What's wrong? i bet there is something wrong.

function on_mouse_click(int button) {
  // called when a mouse button is clicked. button is either LEFT or RIGHT
  if (IsGamePaused() == 1) {
    // Game is paused, so do nothing (ie. don't allow mouse click)
  }
  else if (button==LEFT) {
    ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_USE);
  }
  else if (button == RIGHT){
if (character[VOICE].activeinv >=0){    // right-click, so cycle cursor
    character[VOICE].activeinv = -1;
}
else ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_LOOK);
   }
}

no, it doesn't work

Here is the full code of Global Script, used your scrip, but still nothing. Also i put the second object into inventory to test if items work, so i can use for example key on the poster inside the inventory and it will desplay me "Hello world". But when i select the key, click close and than trying to use it on the hotspot (where i defined of course "use inventory on hotspot") it does nothing, no message. Can you find what's wrong as i remember that i was editing invenory section. anyway here is my global Script:

// main global script file

#define DIR_DISTANCE     10000

#define DIR_DOWN_LEFT  1
#define DIR_DOWN       2

function game_start() {
  // called when the game starts, before the first room is loaded

      else

Try removing the if (IsGamePaused() == 1) condition in case the game is paused by a Popup Modal GUI for example:

function on_mouse_click(int button) {
Ã,  // called when a mouse button is clicked. button is either LEFT or RIGHT
Ã,  if (button==LEFT) {
Ã,  Ã,  ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_USE);
Ã,  }
Ã,  else if (button == RIGHT){
if (character[VOICE].activeinv >=0){Ã,  Ã,  // right-click, so cycle cursor
Ã,  Ã,  character[VOICE].activeinv = -1;
}
else ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_LOOK);
Ã,  Ã, }
}
