[vJass] (System) CustomInventory

[Anachron]

Its actually easy to do since I have already made such actions detectable.

Vexorian also made a Double Click library I believe.

 

[Anachron]

But that is for unit selection, not for trackable hit events.

 

[CHA_Owner]

Nice so was that idea a good one?

Also in the next version please add text to the slots/exit/deselect buttons so that its easier to distinguish

 

[Anachron]

Kinda lazy at such suggestions We'll see ^^

Okay (;, I just saw the name once.

 

[Anachron]

No problem. Aww, I am really lazy right now. Will work on it Friday I think ;P

 

[Catch_ya]

No problem. Aww, I am really lazy right now. Will work on it Friday I think ;P

I'm like that everyday.

 

[Anachron]

That's bad. Would I be like that every day we wouldn't even see a beta of this system yet.

Edit:
Well, here is the todo-list for the new version:

• Check whether the to fast picking up bug has been encountered and fix all the places that had to do with it.
• Display the action that you can do when hovering inventory icons that are not belongting to any items
• Create the attachment system

The other things will be done in later versions.

 

[GunSlinger]

Ummm..... could the items in the inventory also be saved when saving your character like in ORPGs

 

[Anachron]

Aww yes, but not currently.
I wanted to write an save/load module for it, but I forgot.
Thanks for the reminder.
(Is added to the todo-list)

Btw, you can still write your own one or use the others that are uploaded here!

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

You say that you will make attachment system in that inventory sys. but what you think about animation system? when he equips two-handed weapon to switch units animations, like in Witchers Advanced inventory system.

 

[Anachron]

That's basically included into the attachment system.

 

[Catch_ya]

You say that you will make attachment system in that inventory sys. but what you think about animation system? when he equips two-handed weapon to switch units animations, like in Witchers Advanced inventory system.

This also requires that the unit have the animation.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

ok. My bad. XD Catch_ya and Anarchon posts the post at same time and same thing.

 

[Anachron]

But still, I will give the user the chance to attach an animation to the item. No problem.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

But still, I will give the user the chance to attach an animation to the item. No problem.

Question... is that system how to set new animations to unit?- Because im thinking about variable that is string and in it you write the set(Title) of animation, and in system when is item equiped your unit will change animation.

 

[Anachron]

Basically you are able to apply effects on several attachment points of the units.
About the animation: Well, I could get problems with overlapping animations.

So if you for example have item 1 with animation X, and take item 2 with animation Y, when I remove item X it's shit to reset the animation.

I would limit the animations displayed by hero to 1 and overwrite them if you are fine with that?!

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

ahhh, why are you angry and agressive? Yea thats fine (-:

 

[Anachron]

Sorry, got annoyed by the work I currently do.
Great.

 

[CHA_Owner]

Thats actually a good idea but is it possible to attach an animation to an item that makes the unit animate also or would the unit also have to have the animation?

 

[Anachron]

No. The unit has to have the animation.

 

[CHA_Owner]

And you have to edit the model to give it more animations correct? or can it be done by triggers?

 

[karland90]

edit model.

you can play animations with triggers (like Anachron will in his attachment feature)

 

[Anachron]

Exactly.
I can not go beyond the wc3 borders. Models have to be edited to get new animations.
I will only take the part of playing them (Because I am not able to do anything else)

 

[CHA_Owner]

So like you can make it so a unit aquires an item if the unit has the animation that the item trys to use then it does the animation but if not it does nothing correct?

 

[karland90]

yes (ofc only if that item gives the command to play that animation/use that animation tag)

 

[CHA_Owner]

Alright i understand now well that will be very useful and i cant wait for the next release.

 

[Anachron]

Me neither ;-)

 

[GunSlinger]

hi again ummm.. after i copy and pasted your triggers in my map i cant test it anymore plss help tnx

 

[CHA_Owner]

You must also get all variables and all units in object manager....

 

[karland90]

hi again ummm.. after i copy and pasted your triggers in my map i cant test it anymore plss help tnx

you need JassNewGenPack.
Anachron made a tutorial for that.

after you have got JNGP working then try again please.

 

[GunSlinger]

Hey it worked tnx a lot


hey sorry to bother you but i've got another problem(i'm really sorry) when i tested it on a very huge map it kinda turned out to be very small in the mini map and everytime i open the inventory i can't see anything just black, plain black pls help

The last trigger of the entire system that says something destructable that trigger places the inventory just use it.

 

[Anachron]

CWInventoryWindow ->

            local real centX = dist2destdist(0.)
            local real centY = dist2destdist(2816.)

These are the X and Y coordinates of the UI centered location.

#Update - 0.2.0.5

• Important indexing fix of items. Now the 'Already have item' bug can again appear, but shouldn't matter on next pickup. This is due wc3, I will check if I can get an workaround.

This truly is a ground breaking system that you are offering to the warcraft III community. RPG makers can only dream of fully utilizing a system such as this one. However, the problem is that they can only dream. As amazing as this system is, no current save and load system is compatible with saving the items in the breathtaking system that you have created. Thus, no RPG can utilize this system if they choose to have save and load features. Moreover, as amazing as this system is, currently, it is completely useless for RPGs. The only game type that I see this system fit for the moment is Angel Arena or Dota.
The system itself is a 5/5, however, it lacks the ability to be usefully applied to a variety of game types. Since you claim that this is for RPGs, I would have to rate its usefulness towards that purpose as a 1/5. However, I will NOT vote until you have completed this system. So please, for your final version, create a compatible save and load feature with heros and items, otherwise, I will have to vote low on this system.
Yes, my expectations may be high, but if you present a system for the purpose of RPGs you have to complete it and ensure that it works for those game types. You obviously spent lots of time on this system, but it would be a big waste if people cannot even use it.

Sincerely,

Topdog-160

1/5 becouse of no save/load? ugh.
This system was created for a RPG without the save/load ability. (diablo 3 warcraft).
Also, only becouse there is no save/load systems released for this, does not mean that no one is able to do it? It would be like any other save load system but insted of making use of the standard inventory, they create it to work with the custom inventory.
But ofc, if you do not have the skills yourself to create any save/load system, then it will be hard to do one for this, but if you can make a normal one, you will probably be able to do one for this aswell.

Just so you know that it is possible to use a save/load function for this, but anachron did not create one to come with this system becouse most people want to have their own save/load codes in their maps anyway.

So:
You should not vote depending on if there is a save/load function or not, becouse it must not be used in a rpg, and anyone with the experience can create a save/load system for this. Anachron is creating the inventory, not a fully complete and ready to go system for any rpg.

Maybe he will create one, but i doubt it... Maybe as an addon i guess.

 

[Anachron]

As amazing as this system is, no current save and load system is compatible with saving the items in the breathtaking system that you have created.

It is?
You just need to use

inventoryObj.getItem(i)

and iterate through all items. Then you get the handle of the item with

inventoryObj.getItem(i).getHandle()

And because you want to save the itemtype you use

GetItemTypeId(inventoryObj.getItem(i).getHandle())

And voila, you have the itemtype of item i.

by the way, to get the inventory of an unit, use

local CustomInventory ci = CustomInventory.load(GetHandleId(unit))

(unit = the unit you want its inventory to be saved)
This can be used with ANY regular save/load system that is out.

If you want to load the items, simple create the items with the type you just saved and give them to your hero. That's it.

Basically I wanted to write my own save&load system, but the others also work well.

Dude..... ITS BACK! -you already have item in inventory......

 

[Anachron]

Now the 'Already have item' bug can again appear

...
However, doesn't it go away when picking again?

 

[CHA_Owner]

...
However, doesn't it go away when picking again?

look this is after i tried to pick it up 20 times

 

[Anachron]

Yes, I am fixing it.
It's somehow because wc3 has some weird hashtable behaviors.

 

[karland90]

@Topdog-160: i have an rpg project in progress and i will use this inventory system without a save/load system. there are plenty of other rpg-makers who decide not to include a save/load system, so this is for rpgs. and if you had read the posts in this thread, then you would have known that Anachron has said that he will write a save/load system when other, more important, things are done.

 

[Anachron]

Dude, you can get all itemtypes of an units inventory with 10 lines.
You can use that itemtypes in any regular save/load system.

And as Karland90 said, bugfixing is more important.

 

[Cpt.ZnacK]

Anachron = GODLIKE!
Make a custom selection system next! XDXD...
Make a whole ORPG System ;D
