Hi! New! How to inventory?:D

I need help. I'm trying to make a survival game and I need inventory

 

Okay, how you make your inventory is pretty complex and I don't really understand it. You need "actual help."

Hey, Quill, get over here!

Hello! Scripting questions? This should probably go in the advanced editor forum. @Sethaniel @BerkaZerka

If you're asking for help, I'm assuming you read both 3J's guide to the advanced editor and solostrike's working with items guide? If not, they should give you a good start on working with items.

I notice you just became a member today? First, welcome to CYS (assuming you're not an alt of someone else, haha), and secondly, my advice is to get more familiar with the advanced editor before trying to make a customized inventory.

Ah Quiller, your poetry reeks but it is good, because you didn't do poetry. Why am I talking?

I've always pictured Quiller as a name for a Bard actually.

... Bards were poets.

(Just as much as they were singers, keepers of both myths and actual history and, natch, storytellers.)

Hey, Xanaktor, you should post "new player" in Newbie Central. Then people could meet you :)

Huh?

Write a post saying you are a new player. Then people could greet you and say hi.

Okay

... O_o

What do you mean "how to inventory"? The inventory for items is a built-in feature of all advanced editor games with items. It doesn't need to be added, it just is. Have you created items? Can your player pick them up in your game? Then the area where they keep the items they have picked up is their inventory. Problem solved.

I really didn't understand either..........but then again I've never created an advanced game yet.

The reason I am confused by this is because it shouldn't be an issue. It's already there. If you want some kind of bells and whistles relating to the inventory, like removing the white border around the black one, or putting items in specific spaces on the page like Quiller does, then that's another story.

I figured maybe he just didn't realize the help articles were there, and went in blind. Or, alternatively, expected the advanced editor and got the basic one by default, then wasn't sure where to go from there.

I said, Plot Twist!!!!!

You're probably right, yeah. Well, hopefully that cleared things up for him(?). 

Kazoo kid

Unless he mistyped "How to invent story", but missed the "st".

Plot twist!!!!!!!!

Rather than doing something silly like using the in-game inventory system, you should tell players to prepare their own piece of paper and pencil, then have them draw all their items and keep track that way.

Sorry Quill, but I'm going to have to go with Killa. Kids aren't as active these days. They need something to do with their lives.

Get off my lawn!
