This is PURE SEX

the thing with 2 players picking up the same item at the same time is possible with other things too

like when you have a hero selection by double clicking (and after that the hero gets disabled for selection) it can still be picked by 2 players at the same time

trust me, i had this with some guy called pedrokahn and it is unavoidable

 

[Anachron]

Well I fixed it anyway. (You can test it, you will not be able to pick up the same item)

 

[Armenian Beagle]

i dont like that this system uses map space to run


please try fixing it (ive no suggestions because im not a JASS master)

 

[Etzer]

There is no such thing as a full screen inventory which does not use up some map space, but consider that it uses like 6x2 of the map or stuff. (Maybe there is something which dosen't use map space, but i don't know it)

 

[karland90]

this system is really awesome and will get even better.
i have to disagree with you Armenian Beagle, for a neat system like this id give 5 times as much map space.

 

[Anachron]

In future versions this system will need (nearly) no space, I'll do a little trick. (So you'll only need about 64x64, which is, lets face it, nothing.

 

[Etzer]

I thougth that were like the size of the smallest melee map (64x64) ...

 

[Anachron]

Noo. No, one dimension smaller.
One tile is 64x64.

 

[Etzer]

Oh, that way I were like 64x64, thats like 100 times the current size

 

[Anachron]

Yes, I am sorry to make confusing statements.
I mean 64 wc3 units.

 

[Etzer]

Yea, i understand now

 

[Anachron]

Guys stay tuned, I am planning some cool updates for the feature, such as full MUI support. (But this is really a bit away).

Else, I am already thinking about a cool vendor system.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Anachron (im realy nooooob) but for what is used vendor system?

 

[karland90]

you need it to be able to buy and sell stuff with this inventory system (buy from goblin merchant for example).

 

[Anachron]

You can still buy from the normal shops too.
But it will also be used so you can trade items with friends.

Anyway *paused* (Working on CustomMissile & CustomAttack)

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

thanks, +rep.

 

[mattstheman]

Ooooo. Vendor system with a trade system included!!! Very good news. Keep up the good work. Take your time and make it flawless

 

[karland90]

i love the last word of your post. ^-^

 

[DanThanh]

You should include a readme/documentation..I am confused when trying to import and create my own items !

 

[Anachron]

Did you check CISetup and Test?
Also, the new version has an hell easier API and I don't think it should be any hard to do such things now.

Just check it.

 

[Catch_ya]

When you are going to make Trade and Vendor system, then you maybe can do it like the Diablo II one? I just really like how they set it up. If you don't know how it looks, look here:
- trade system
- shop system
I don't care if the UI is different, but I like the setup. I hope you do too.
I already got future suggestions for this trade system and shop system. But I'll wait abit, I don't want to stress you.

 

[Anachron]

I think the trade system will have classes (armor, shoulder, etc), however, I don't think the items will have different sizes.

Also I paused it, check T&S for my new system CustomAttack.

 

[Catch_ya]

I don't think the items will have different sizes.

I didn't mean the items should have different sizes, and yes I know that this is on hold. Just thought to share it now before I forget it.

 

[karland90]

I think the trade system will have classes (armor, shoulder, etc)

sorry but i dont understand (and i want to). trade system will use classes?

 

[Anachron]

Yes, shops will have items by genres, so like "Tabs" in the browser you will have tabs with classes. The good thing is, the user does not need to care about the implementation of such things because its automatically done by the system.
You'll just add a list of itemtypes and the system will do everything for you.

(I thought about this to add items to the vendor

call AddItemsToVendor(unit, "'itm1', 'itm2'")

// and this to remove
call RemoveItemsFromVendor(unit, "'itm1', 'itm2'")

However, these are only the concepts.

 

[karland90]

ok. so its kinda like on the second screenshot that catch_ya posted.

 

[Anachron]

Yes. Kind of that.

 

[GIANT_CRAB]

LOL I CANT EXTRACT THIS thingy inventory.... winzip said that it is not a valid file to extract... T.T HOW to extract?

 

[hell gate]

???
what do you want to extract here?
just open it with world editor

 

[Anachron]

(JassNewGenPack).
Anyway, there is nothing to extract, like hell_gate said.

 

[hell gate]

but to test it with normal we
to edit with JNGP

ok enough discuss about the editor ^^

 

[Anachron]

Not even testing in WE, because once you edit the smallest thing you won't be able to test it anymore.

 

[DanThanh]

Imagine that my map have 10 players, so i will need 12 free space on my map? how could i define the co-ordinates for those?
or just simply call:

loop
exitwhen i >= 12

if GetPlayerSlotState(Player(i)) == PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING and GetPlayerController(Player(i)) == MAP_CONTROL_USER then
set fakeInv = CreateInventoryUnit(Player(i), 'h000')
set hero = CreateUnit(Player(i), 'Hpal', 0., 0., 0.)
call CreateInventoryUI(hero, fakeInv)
endif

set i = i +1
endloop

 

[karland90]

all players use the same area. so you just need one space for it, at least thats what i remember.

 

[Anachron]

Exactly, you only need one area.

loop
exitwhen i >= 12

if GetPlayerSlotState(Player(i)) == PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING and GetPlayerController(Player(i)) == MAP_CONTROL_USER then
set fakeInv = CreateInventoryUnit(Player(i), 'h000')
set hero = CreateUnit(Player(i), 'Hpal', 0., 0., 0.)
call CreateInventoryUI(hero, fakeInv)
endif

set i = i +1
endloop

This is what you need, as already shown in the example, why do you thing it would be not like that if it's working?

 

[DanThanh]

Exactly, you only need one area.

I see, but how could i define that area in my map?
I mean at least x/y co-ordinate for it !

 

[Anachron]

Well with the newest version, which is 0.2.2.2, you have a new library, called CISetup.
You can enable/disable features just as you wish and there also are settings about the area where you have your inventory.

Its something like this: UI_INV_BASEX and UI_INV_BASEY.
Change them to where your inventory place is.

 

[DanThanh]

okay, thank you very much

 

[DanThanh]

omg, what is this?

 

[Anachron]

You haven't add all libraries that are required.
Make sure you have imported BonusMod and such things.

 

[DanThanh]

I am sure i have imported all required libraries.
If i open a new map, and then CnP, it works. Also, if i delete all other triggers in my map (include a lot of systems and mainly done in VJass) i get no errors !

Edit: Ah, i found out the reason, thats because i have both Xepreload and AbilityPreload in my map =)

 

[Anachron]

Maybe you have the wrong order of cathegories/librarys. Sorry, I might have forget some requirements.

 

[DanThanh]

Now another problem ><
Everything is imported with right paths, i also extracted and imported needed destructibles.

 

[Anachron]

Make sure the terrain where you place the inventory is flat.
(Really flat, meaning no height, just the clifflevelheight)

Also make sure that the icons (Check doodads) are correctly working.

 

[DanThanh]

I am so embarrassed, i've sent hours trying to make it work...aa, whats wrong ???

Its strange, from this screenshot we can see that all icons does not work, but i checked ir carefully, all destructibles is all right !

 

[DanThanh]

ok, ok, founsd out it (took me about two hours ><)..its because thi terrain..sorry for bothering you, Anachron...
I have some questions:

-How to have an item's description/history
-Some infor about set items
-Items for specific heroes/classes
-How could i do something like this:

-Event: xx
-Condition: Triggering unit has an item of type/ GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetTriggeringUnit(), 'ABCD') >0 (item ability)
-Action: yy

 

[Anachron]

ok, ok, founsd out it (took me about two hours ><)..its because thi terrain

Glad you figured that out!

-Event: xx
-Condition: Triggering unit has an item of type/ GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetTriggeringUnit(), 'ABCD') >0 (item ability)
-Action: yy

You can register callbacks for the itemtypes.
Did you check my demo?

You can create callbacks for onPick, onDrop, onPawn and onUse.

-How to have an item's description/history

Please check out the examples as well, you do it with set (itemvar).desc = "A LONG STRING, use \n to create linebreaks!"

-Some infor about set items

I haven't add info to setitems until yet, so I guess you have to it. I have added it to my ToDo-List so the itemset will appear in the Multiboard as well.

-Items for specific heroes/classes

Also you can add an conditional function, please check the example how you do such things. I don't remember the correct function name. Something like setOnPickCond.

My example even has that. (As far as I remember)

Thanks again for feedback and such.

 

[DanThanh]

ew, it's abit complicated, could you please make some small examples? (if you have spare time)
