A new idea for an item system

[Altazen]

Okay, here's an idea. I want to organize items into something like this:

-Items are divided into 6 classes, namely headgear, r-hand, l-hand, accessory, armor, and footgear, each assigned a specific item slot.

-A unit cannot have more than 1 of each item class in the inventory at a time. Thus, a unit can only have 1 headgear at a time, one or two 1-handed weapons or one 2-handed weapon at a time, one accessory at a time, one armor at a time, and one footgear at a time.

Got any useful trig I could use?

Poot does... but as to whether or not he's willing to share it...

In any case, there's also a Full-Screen Inventory that has that But its in Korean, sooo...

I'll consider tweaking my system to work something along those lines; currently the only difference is that you wield two accessories instead of an accessory and a footgear, and there is a separate inventory (still on your hero of course) for the Equipment, so you can still have a general inventory.

I have some code that I prefer to keep more private though (this is halfway in between there), so we'll see.

Here's hopin u'll share it. Anyway, if you don't want to post it, you can send me an email.

i put my items into class. so like, weapons would be in artifact, helmets would be in permanent, shields would be in Purchasable, etc. then make every unit only allowed one of each type class.

First things first, here's a protected version; tell me if it's anything like what you meant.

Works good. The only thing that doesn't work with me is this: One of my heroes has a skill that, when learned, gives him another skill (He summons ghosts with the Locust ability from a corpse, an the skill he learns as a result of learning the first ability allows him to kill his summoned ghosts and convert each of them into hit points.

 

[PurplePoot]

What does that have to do with the system, at all?

 

[Altazen]

What it has to do is that the Hero won't be able to have two extra buttons for inventory, if he already has 4 Hero ability buttons, 1 attribute bonus button, and 1 normal ability. And if you're going to suggest to not display the attribute icon, I still won't have room for the last inventory.

 

[PurplePoot]

Well, if you skip the Backpack (and only keep the normal inventory) then you only need one button.

If you still want a backpack-ish thing, you could always do a 6-slot bag (as shown in the system).

 

[Altazen]

Yeah, might work. Now then, only one problem left. I need a way to add such a system to my map.

 

[PurplePoot]

I'll work on adapting it, then give it to you in some way, shape, or form. However, it might be a bit, as I have other stuff to do (mainly school)

Yo, I'm back. It was our sembreak, and I took a week off. Anyway, I'm back in the forums. I'll wait for it, okay? Thanks.
