TriggerHappy:

Not MUI, or MPI. Preplaced inventory. Still.
It's also far less configurable then the other ones out there. It's harder to import and is obsolete in nearly every way compared to the others.

Sorry, this will never get approved. Feel free to re-write it.

krisserz · Apr 9, 2010

Tired of those advanced, smooth, leakless and beautiful Full Screen Inventories?

Yeah! It`s better to use crappy, leaking, primitive and slow GUI ones. (I don`t tell yours is but that`s what I get from this)
No really it has no point of making this in GUI. There is a reason why so far noone made it.
But anyway I`ll take a look at the triggers.

GhostThruster · Apr 9, 2010

Um, yeah! This wasn't made for everyone to stare at awe or praise, but something GUI beginners can test and use.
PS. Gotta RIGHT-CLICK to use it and I'm gonna add a multi-board to show the selected item's info.

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 9, 2010

Testing
Sorry, but need more work, please make left click to select something, then make more equiping slots.

GhostThruster · Apr 9, 2010

The add more slots is easy. Anyone can do it. But I don't think I can make it Left-click, as in GUI destructable selections aren't detected.

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 9, 2010

then add they, and fix shield problem, it don't gives icon and don't moves location.

GhostThruster · Apr 9, 2010

Dude, this is just an example test map. But if people want me to add more slots, then I will do so. Can you check the shield problem for me?

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 9, 2010

Will try.
OK, no problem right now, that is surely bug with Blizzard.

Anachron · Apr 9, 2010

The description is the best thing on this system until yet.
And there is no reason to do this in GUI.

(You will never be able to handle the features I have included)

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 9, 2010

Yea, that is problem for him, this is best what gui can do, he can't make to equip something with left-click... But can be useful for someone, who can't use your inv maked with vJASS

Anachron · Apr 9, 2010

He can still use units as selection buttons. (Which detect left-click)

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 9, 2010

yes, i know that, but it will lag, and thats tooooooo hard to make it MUI or MPI.

Anachron · Apr 9, 2010

Yes.
There is nothing easier in GUI, not even the importing.

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 9, 2010

GhostThruster you forget to make index of items, you automaticaly use sword, without variable for weapon, and if you copy this on one of other maps, this will make totaly crush, because you will equip crate,tree or whatever other.

Septimus · Apr 9, 2010

Well then get mine! In full GUI, even a pig could edit and use this system! Don't like smooth and seamless gameplay? Well then download this laggy, leak-filled beauty!

This description of yours was a fine reason of why this system would never be approve.

Download now and all you gotta pay is 1 rep* to me(that was a joke)!

Asking for rep are like asking the firing squad to shoot you.

By the way, some of the If/Then/Else ain't set properly. If you fire the trigger, it would execute 5-6 call of If/Then/Else while only about 1 of it would be used.

Stop blaming GUI D: But w00t the description is awesome. I'll probably use it.

D4RK_G4ND4LF · Apr 9, 2010

dudes.....make your stuff properly or I will see myself forced to make a badass GUI inventory system to prove all these people wrong oO

change the models to use the skin directly
so you can use them as doodads and won't have this stupid overblend effect

create an array which contains all icons/buttons and stuff
add an ability to the dummy selector unit and check everything in the array if it's next to the casting point
so you will have fast leftclick
you can do the selection automatically with hotkey and

Game - Force Player to press the key A

add item swap support (you select an item, you click on another one and swap their position, unless it's the same one, in this case it will get deselected)
and don't force the player to use the preset buttons
create them using a triggers and save them to the array

mnib · Apr 9, 2010

wow awesome system just what i needed ;D it shows attachments too what is cool

i will w8 till u make it better and then i might use it ;D 5/5
btw: i love its in gui i got no knowledge of jas or vjass ;S

btw: gandalf it would be cool if u would make some gui inventory system too d;

GhostThruster · Apr 10, 2010

Hey, I'm a beginner too, don't forget! This is pretty advanced for me.

@About everyone who thinks this is crap:
This was more of an example map. It is definitely not finalised, but the important thing to know is that it works(about 85% of the time).

@Anachron:
Making unit dummies means that I gotta import a whole lotta different models WITH different textures for each new item, unless you know some other way. And yes, it will lag horribly.

@Septimus:
It was just a joke! The only thing I'd like if someone downloads this and uses it is some credits. And I'm working on fixing some crap up. Next version will have very little leaks.

@88War:
I thought that people would know by instinct that when they CnP the triggers into their maps, they will change the destructable type or add new ones for each item.

@Vengeancekael and mnib:
Thanks guys for the support! I'll perfect it later on.

@D4RK_G4ND4LF:
Go make one yourself. Like I said, this is more of an example map, and if not just a test, then a prototype. I can't model for poop. Array thing I'll add, if you mean the slots. Item swap I'll add in the future, but it isn't really necessary, and I'll allow users to create the slots via triggers if it is better. Thanks for your insight.

Septimus · Apr 10, 2010

Go make one yourself. Like I said, this is more of an example map, and if not just a test,

This section are reserve for complete work. Alpha stage work should be present at trigger and script section.

GhostThruster · Apr 10, 2010

Can someone tell me how to stop leaks? So far I know 2 functions; RemoveLocation and DestroyGroup.

mnib · Apr 10, 2010

just some my suggestions btw:
1. u might make some multiboard to show what items does when u click it so u dont have to drop it and look then so when u click claws u seee name description and smth like +5 dmg ;D
2. plz add some more slots ^^ : amulet, boots gloves etc
3.u might make the system smaller i mean the window of eq it takes kinda lot of space (if possible ofc)
4. as other says it would be cool if u make it left clicking;d

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 10, 2010

Left clicking in GUI is actualy inpossible, he will need to remove system, and make new because he need to use units instead of descrutables.

Anachron · Apr 10, 2010

Making unit dummies means that I gotta import a whole lotta different models WITH different textures for each new item, unless you know some other way. And yes, it will lag horribly.

Wrong, how about using an unit with an invisible model?

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 10, 2010

he don't get how it works, how to make it, but this is awesome system for beginer triggering.

mnib · Apr 10, 2010

hey btw when u fix it are u gonna make some extra system that would fit this 1 like a shop window witch woudl work with this (left side equipemt and on right shop) or some other stuff that could be cool but 1rst repair this 1 ;d
Like i wish u would make some smithing window like
left is only bag u got and on 2nd side u got small window in witch u put some bard rocks or smth and if theyre right u can smith sword ;d
looks like this

GhostThruster · Apr 11, 2010

1.I have said that I'll add a multi-board. In fact, I've done it already, and I'll update today.

2.I understand the invisible unit thing, but I can't model. But still, what's so horrible with right-clicks? Just takes some getting used to.

3.Can't you add your own slots? You just need to make 2 new destructable dummies. One for the empty slot, and one for the item icon, and you can copy n paste from the object editor, and in the trigger editor, CnP some triggers and change a few settings.

4.Stuff like selling and trading I will leave to downloaders, as it is optional and I can't be stuffed, and it shouldn't be hard. Besides, I based this on the Diablo 3 Warcraft screen anyways. The Screen is meant to take up the entire screen, that's why it is called FULLscreen.

I'm gonna update soon. Now it will have a Multi-board and I've replaced all those If/Then/Elses with For Each Integers, and cleansed the variables. Also leak-proofed, using TempPoints, RemoveLocations and DestroyGroups. Out of curiousity, can you destroy Region, Destructable, or Camera variables, and are there any better GUI FSIs out there that I can compare to?

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 11, 2010

Man, i think that you need be more friendly. But anyway, it's not horrible with right-click, and you don't need to model, you can use that white model, set it on position of descrutable, and make descrutable higher.

GhostThruster · Apr 12, 2010

The iconbase.mdx is actually already hovering, but I'm worried about the speed and lag.

I don't mean to be angry, its just impossible to read emotions in text.

GhostThruster · Apr 16, 2010

Bump.
I don't understand why this can't get approved. The moderator says that it is obsolete compared to all others out there. There are only 2 systems on the hive, including this one! Plus, he's comparing this one to a JASS Inventory, which will obviously have more features and is better.

For the MPI thing, does that mean it can be used with the same variables and triggers? Coz I can just duplicate those triggers and change the player settings and such, but I don't know if that's making it MPI. Also, is it possible to make unpreplaced inventory?

Then why should a user use your system? Just because it's GUI? You need to make it at least MPI.

For the MPI thing, does that mean it can be used with the same variables and triggers? Coz I can just duplicate those triggers and change the player settings and such, but I don't know if that's making it MPI.

Nope, thats not making it MPI. MPI means you have ONE system for all players. Not one system PER player.

Also, is it possible to make unpreplaced inventory?

Yes, I did it.

mnib · Apr 16, 2010

i think moderator wants to u make it multiplayer system so its not copying same trigger but changing triggers in this way that it works for all players with the same trigger like this for example
player clicks esc
then
Create 1 knight for unit witch clicked esc ( in ur triggers its like click esc and only for red)

GhostThruster · Apr 19, 2010

Yep, okay. Thanks.

The problem is I need a way of allowing the destructables to show only to the respective player. Or can I just duplicate the doodads, but not the triggers?

@Anachron:
1.Yes, that is the obvious and only reason.

2.Thanks again.

3.How did you create them? Did you use regions, points and such? I don't understand the code, but if you can tell me the basics, I'd be able to convert it into GUI.
If not, will this action work?
For Each Integer A From 1-12 Do Actions:
Create 1 Empty Slot to Point with Offset/Region of EmptySlot[Integer A - 1]
Set Last Created Destructable = EmptySlot[Integer A]

Anachron · Apr 19, 2010

1.Yes, that is the obvious and only reason.

Hmm.. That's not a reason for me.

2.Thanks again.

No problem.

Set Last Created Destructable = EmptySlot[Integer A]

Yes, kind of that.

GhostThruster · Apr 21, 2010

Well, I've managed to create a trigger-placed inventory that creates empty slots next to each other, and sets it as a variable array with Integer A index. Did you use a region for the starting point of the creation?

Also, is this MPI if I just copy the doodads and increase variable arrays?

88WaRCraFT3 · Apr 21, 2010

I think that it isn't. It must be on one place, like anachrons. And on that place need to be INV for every player.

Anachron · Apr 21, 2010

If you hide the doodads and only show them for the player that should see them, yes.
Else not.

I did not use a region, I used two variable, one being UI_INV_BASEX and one being UI_INV_BASEY.

I think that it isn't. It must be on one place, like anachrons. And on that place need to be INV for every player.

Wrong, that's not a must, the inventory system should only be able to handle more then one player at once.
My one-area-for-all-players is just a feature I'd liked to include.

Bond009 · Apr 22, 2010

Ok i have read over this stuff and its interested me although i can not see the image demo or dl the test map with this stuff in it. I am kind of curious to see it now for myself lol
I assume because the hive didn't approve it, its not viewable correct?
maybe upload it on a map in epicwar for now and link it here? lol

Also Anachron, i checked out your inventory system too very nice, pretty impressed not gonna lie.
Would be cool if the 2 gloves were at the top and there were 2 places for boots at the bottom, also you should add more items to your demo, like a Dust item armor etc.
I just dropped some of those items on the ground to test them and when resaving your map it errors and turns off every jass trigger. I re-opened the map and did nothing and just saved and did the same thing.

Anachron · Apr 22, 2010

You can easily change the order in the CIEquips trigger.

You have to use JassGenGenPack in the latest version (my signature) in order to use the inventory.

However, please next time post it into my inventory thread because this is kind of offtopic.

GhostThruster · Apr 22, 2010

Yes! As soon as my computer is fixed, I'll make it full unpreplaced and MPI. Thanks for your help guys.

@Bond009:
Strange... My system should just show as Needs Fix and still be downloaded. Heaps of other spells are like that. Attached the View attachment 79956 anyways.
PS. GUI Inv talk only!

Bond009 · Apr 22, 2010

Yeah on first page it shows this "This resource is not available" i'll dl it now though and check it out

Edit: i checked it out its not bad so far for gui.. nice, didnt really look closely through the gui code for leaks and such though, didnt have time..

TwentyThree · May 13, 2010

I'm downloading, going to examine, then i shall test it to its full possibilities... i shall let you know what i find out then i do find out what there is to find :O

edit:
holy mother of god this is fucking confusing... i'm going to have to stare at each "If/Then/Else" action and like... OHH! thats how it goes!
>_< i'll just stare at it for a day or two.. bound to make sense....right?

GhostThruster · May 14, 2010

Oh... thanks.
But I included a detailed readme inside too, and I've said that you must be pretty advanced to edit it.

TwentyThree · May 16, 2010

well i did look at it, and it seems really, really good, and i can edit it, its no problem, i just hate learning from sources like that

but yeah, its very nice, it works well, no bugs, i can edit it easily for more slots, and i'm sure others can as well.
very nice job, and i hope you do make this leak-free
but i do strongly advise you make this MPI, it would get so much more popular for everyone who doesn't know Jass, as this proves immensely that GUI is just as good as Jass if used properly, and i do support this system ^_^

Cweener · May 19, 2010

i actually really liked this system, idk how you intend to make it for multiple people, but i like it alot

+rep

Leubast · Jun 29, 2010

Why can't I download this!!!!? It sounds sofa king awesome! (plus idk vjass)

don't you just love hive's intelligent community

Leubast · Jun 30, 2010

Yea... they shouldn't remove simple things that are actually awesome. It's not like everyone can do that or can understand it. Like me for example, I have no idea how vjass works... at all... so this would be very helpful to me.

GhostThruster · Jul 10, 2010

Thank you Everlive, however takakenji is right. If you just look one page back, you'll find my post with this attached.
