Change objectX to Active Inventory image and show inv name and not ID..

[Slasher]

Hi,

at the moment I have an object (objectX) that reflects whatever inventory graphic is currently active.

I usually do this inventory item by inventory item and change objectX's graphic accordainly.

What would be the best way to change objectX to reflect active inventory graphic without have to list each one?

cheers for any help

thanks

I think this:

Code: ags

if (player.ActiveInventory != null)
{
    objectX.Graphic = player.ActiveInventory.Graphic;
}
else
{
    objectX.Graphic = N; // where N is a "no item" graphic.
}

Thanks Crimson

Of course I overlooked one thing, my inventory items have a black background whereas their cursor images have not

This sorts out that issue:

Code: ags

 objectX.Graphic=player.ActiveInventory.CursorGraphic;

Happy days

EDIT: Secondary question regarding above:

Code: ags

 cCharles.Say("I don't think %d will do much",player.activeinv);

Shows inventory ID whereas I would like the Inventory NAME ie Grease, Cloth etc etc

As like:  "I don't think Cloth will do much"

cheers

I'm surfing using my mobile atm. So, I can't test it. But the code should be something along the lines of:

Code: ags

cCharles.Say("I don't think %s will do much", player.ActiveInventory.Name);

Glad to hear that you had already figured it out!
