I have yet another inventory question (sorry). I have tried searching the forum, but it's quite hard to search for.

I basically just want to make an item in the inventory "unselectable". I have an item you can pick up and read (a note), but I don't want the player to be able to select it is an item to be used with other objects.

Any help on how to do this would be great.

open Game.Script

search for and add the underlined text into your script (replace itemname with your itemname):

on "LeftClick"
{
  // what did we click?
  var ActObj = Game.ActiveObject;
  if(ActObj!=null)
  //~ if(ActObj!=null && ActObj)
  {
    // clicking an inventory item
    if(ActObj.Type=="item" && Game.SelectedItem==null && ActObj.Name != "itemname")
    {
      Game.SelectedItem = ActObj;
    }

do the same for: on "LeftDoubleClick"

that will cancel left clicking on this item.

Thank you for the reply. That works great.

I wondered if there was another way of implementing this? The reason I ask is that if you had multiple object that you didn't want to be selected, this section of the code could get quite cumbersome. Is there a way of defining a list of items?

I'm sure there are many ways to do that. You can add any custom properties to your game objects. So for example, in your item's script you would do:

Code: WME Script

1. this.Unclickable = true;
2.  

And the condition above would now look like this:

Code: WME Script

1. if(ActObj.Type=="item" && Game.SelectedItem==null && ActObj.Unclickable != true)
2.  

So all items that set this property will become "unclickable".

Thanks to lof for providing an immediate workaround, but I think Mnemonic's solution is a bit smoother.

Either way, thanks for the help guys.

nevermind, you're welcome.
