How to refer to the item in this

[DiggetyBo]

Hey everyone, I was trying to put some restrictions on Anachrons Inventory system. Like I put a boolean where it doesn't do anything if the aquiring unit is a building (since I have buildings that do that in my map). But now I want to make a condition where nothing happens if the item is a power. The thing is I can't figure out how to reference the item as it's picked up.

note the ??? marks...

ibrary CIEvents
endlibrary

module CIEvents
    public method pick takes CustomItem ci returns boolean
        if .checkPickup(ci) and IsUnitType(.carrier,UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE)== false and IsItemPowerup(???)== false then
            call ci.pick(.carrier)
            call .addItem(ci)
            return true
        endif
        
        return false
    endmethod
    
    public method drop takes CustomItem ci returns boolean
        if .hasItem(ci) then
            call ci.drop(.carrier)
            return .remItem(ci)
        endif
        
        return false
    endmethod
    
    public method pawn takes CustomItem ci returns boolean
        if .hasItem(ci) then
            call ci.pawn(.carrier)
            return true
        endif
        
        return false
    endmethod
    
    public method use takes CustomItem ci returns boolean
        if .hasItem(ci) then
            call ci.use(.carrier)
            return true
        endif
        
        return false
    endmethod
endmodule

Thanks guys, you've all helped me so much!

u have to get permission from the owner of this script to modify it.

Also what type of system are u looking for ? There is an item restriction system on the hive by doomlord i believe.

 

[Adiktuz]

since he wants to modify it for his own use, I don't see a problem with that...

I think the actual item might be referenced in the CustomItem library

ooo i thought u always needed permission ?

You are missing the l.

Nope, only if you want to redistribute it. Not like the mods are going to hack your map and make sure all of your systems are unmodified.

Also, in this case, the interface was already there for the coder to use so its intended to be modified

You are missing the l.

Also, the module should be inside the library.

I could answer your question if i knew what inventory system you were using (a link would be extra helpful)

ooo ok lol. Also ik they wont try to hack ur pc lol. I just didnt know if asking to mod something is allowed without permission. Thanks for clearing this up now tho lol.

Hey guys thanks a bunch for answering so quickly, I was busy yesterday.

Umm yeah I should have been more informative.

What I succeeded in doing was modifying it by restricting the system to only handle non-structure units. (you can see where I did this in the first boolean segment). To do this I needed to know how to refer to the unit that Anachron labeled as .carrer in the above trigger. It was kind of hard as I'm relatively new to vjass.

Now that I'm trying to place a restriction on the type of item that the system handles. So that's what I'm struggling with now, I don't see the name of the item anywhere. I tried CustomItem, and .ci and Item. And all the obvious guesses.

I'm guessing though it's somewhere in this trigger.

You were saying it might be in a nother library though? Like a global?

No, im saying that i wont be able to help you if you dont tell us the name of the system your using

e/ make my life easier and post the source code in a

 block

My bad, it's Anachron's Inventory System.

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ory-159130/?prev=search=inventory&d=list&r=20

The trigger this code is from is CI_Events

 

[Arhowk]

ci.handle

e/ holy crap that system has alot of code i did my fs inventory in 700 lines >.<

 

[DiggetyBo]

Sweet, I'll try that out, thanks so much dude!

Edit: Ok i tried it but it gave me this error

Error: ci.handle is private

library CIEvents
endlibrary

module CIEvents
    public method pick takes CustomItem ci returns boolean
        if .checkPickup(ci) and IsUnitType(.carrier,UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE)== false and IsItemPowerup(ci.handle) == false then
            call ci.pick(.carrier)
            call .addItem(ci)
            return true
        endif
        
        return false
    endmethod

 

[Adiktuz]

@Arhowk - yeah its a really massive FS

 

[Arhowk]

oops sorry,

ci.getHandle()

 

[DiggetyBo]

dang, I tried

IsItemPowerup(ci.gethandle()) and IsItemPowerup(ci.gethandle)

each time it says ci.gethandle is not a member of custom inventory

did it work in yours?

 

[Arhowk]

gotta capitalize the H

ci.getHandle()

 

[DiggetyBo]

ohh how did I not see that.

It worked! Thank you guys! +rep
