I use the same inv. as the WME demo. To make things more clear for the player(s) I want to show the inventory for 1 or 2 seconds when something is being added ot it. But doing Game.ShowInventory=true; and then back to false a second or two later doesn't work. I think game_deamon is making it not work?? Do you know a way to do this? Thanks

Yes, it's caused by game_deamon, which hides the inventory depending on mouse pointer position.

Probably the most ellegant way how to overcome is:

1) Add the following piece of code to game.script. We override the standard TakeItem method and set a global variable "InventoryHint" to true for one second:

[code]
method TakeItem(var ItemName)
{

Thanks, it works 

However the inventory now shows up for like a 1 second at the start up of the game. (Not a big deal but it's not very pretty.)

I tried adding
Game.InventoryVisible = false;

or

global InventoryHint = false;

right at the very beginning of game.script before evertyhing else is initiatlised, but that doesn't take it away

Any ideas?

Perhaps you are adding some item(s) to the inventory at startup of the game? You could add another global variable to specify if the inventory hint is enabled or disabled and only enable it after you're done initializing the game.
