Multiple Inventory Items
By [[]]

 

In Voodoo Girl, I decided to give the player the ability to carry around more than one of each particular item. But how to do so?! I wracked my brain, stayed up all night, and pulled my hair out. Eventually, I just turned on my computer and typed in some code. Hmm, guess I should have tried that first.

First I added the name of my item as a variable in defines.txt.

EX:

#define moss v60

Then I created a new logic that is called from Logic.000 at the end of every cycle.

call(200);

In the body of this new logic I wrote a little something like this:

Code:

<syntaxhighlight lang="agi">

  1. include defines.txt
   if (moss > 0 && !has("moss"))
   {
       get("moss");
   }
   if (moss == 0 && has("moss"))
   {
       drop("moss");
   }

</syntaxhighlight>

Last, and certainly not least, to add a nice touch, I altered the description of my inventory in the view editor:

You have %v60 pieces of moss.

Just prefix the variable with % to have it print out with your show.obj() description or to embed it in a string (i.e. print("You have %60 pieces of moss");).

Happy coding!
