[The Man]

Hello everybody!
I was trying to create an inventory that appears when you rightclick on the screen. I've been able to do that using this simple piece of code on Game.script:

Code: [Select]

on "RightClick"
{
 
  if (Game.SelectedItem != null){
    Game.SelectedItem = null;
    return;
  }
 
   Game.InventoryVisible=true;
 }
The inventory is closed when you move the mouse outside of it:

Code: [Select]

if(Game.MouseY > 487 || Game.MouseY <120 || Game.MouseX > 635 || Game.MouseX <160 || Game.ResponsesVisible || !Game.Interactive) Game.InventoryVisible = false;
The problem is this: the code works, but the game won't read the RightClick command anywhere else in the game... for example, if I put a RightClick event on an object's script:

Code: [Select]

on "RightClick"
{
  Game.Interactive=false;
  actor.Talk("A voler essere onesti ho un paio di monete di ottone e basta.");
  Game.Interactive=true;
}
The program doesn't do a thing. What I want to achieve is to have the Righclick as default command to examine, but when I rightclick on a point in the screen where there's nothing active, as objects or entities, the inventory is automatically loaded.
How the code should look like?

You will need to make the RightClick handler in game.script a bit more complicated:

Code: WME Script

1. on "RightClick"
2. {
3.   // there's an inventory item selected
4.   if (Game.SelectedItem != null)
5.   {
6.     Game.SelectedItem = null;
7.     return;
8.   }
9.  
10.   // we right-clicked some object
11.   if (Game.ActiveObject != null)
12.   {
13.     // can the object handle right-click?
14.     var actObj = Game.ActiveObject;
15.     if (actObj.CanHandleEvent("RightClick")
16.     {
17.       // yes -> reroute the event to the object
18.       actObj.ApplyEvent("RightClick");
19.       return;
20.     }
21.   }
22.  
23.   // otherwise just open the inventory
24.   Game.InventoryVisible=true;
25. }
26.  

You will probably find your proposed behaviour is not very user friendly, because the player will have to look for "empty" spots on the screen to open the inventory, but it's a matter of design decisions.

Thanks for the answer AND the advise... in the end I managed to insert The Luggage that follows Rincewind during the game. When You leftclick it, the inventory is shown!
I don't have the ability to allow user to modify the dimension of the inventory box during the game(As   in Discworld 2), but that should do that in any case!

Thank you again!
