Showing inventory button, only if the inventory isn't empty?

Postby Bzyk » Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:33 pm

Hello,

I use
1. Action.HideInventoryButton
2. Action.ShowInventoryButton.

Is there possible "show if"?

I mean, I get an item. Inventory button shows. Then by right-click I jump to the custom menu, where inventory button shouldn't appear. OK, I hide it by first command. When I leave menu and return to the game, I display button by the second command. But...

The problem is, when I haven't got any item. Then I jump to custom menu and leave it - and then inventory button appears, although inventory is empty. It's annoying... :(

I need some script, which shows inventory button, but only if the inventory isn't empty...

This should do the trick

Code: Select all
If InventoryItemObject.count>1 then
ShowInventoryButton
End If


And I 'll explain. The inventoryitemobject array stores information on your items. It has a normal count of 1, with 1 being inventoryitemobject(0), a secret, normally unused item placeholder, as happens with most objects in AM such as texts and hotspots. So, by checking if the items' count is greater than 1 which is the minimum you know if the player has one or more items. And you do that by utilizing the .count method of the array class.

I'm such a noob in programming! Unfortunately I'm a classic humanist. :(

Lyberodoggy, many thanks! It works perfectly!
