Problem with Custom Inventory

When i put my mouse on the items I have, the text don't appear. Anyone know why?

[cbk1994]

I would use GuiShowImg and add a hint = "" to it.

[Stryke]

Can you show me an example I have never used it before. =/

[cbk1994]

PHP Code:

new GuiShowImgCtrl( "Inventory_Window" )
{
  x = 0;
  y = 0;
  width = 200;
  height = 200;
  image = "inventory.png";
  new GuiShowImgCtrl( "Inventory_Item" )
  {
    width = 32;
    height = 32;
    x = 20;
    y = 20;
    image = player.weapon.image;
  }
}

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onKeyPressed( code, key )
{

    client.qo = 1 - client.qo;
  }
}

function onTimeout()
{
  if (client.qo = NULL)
    hideMenu();
  else showMenu();
  setTimer(0.05);
}

function showMenu()
{
  thiso.qx = screenwidth / 2 + 100;

  thiso.item_name = NULL;

      thiso.item_name.add(temp.i.name);
      thiso.item_image.add(temp.i.image);
      thiso.item_pos.add(temp.i);

  new GuiShowImgCtrl("Inv_Window")

    {
      for(thiso.j=0; thiso.j<4; thiso.j++;)
      {
        new GuiShowImgCtrl("InvItem_"@thiso.item_count)
        {
          width = 32;
          height = 32;
          x = thiso.qx + 76 + (thiso.j * 45);
          y = thiso.qy + 52 + (45*thiso.i);
          image = thiso.item_image[thiso.item_count];
          thiso.item_list[thiso.item_count] = "InvItem_"@thiso.item_count;
          thiso.item_count += 1;
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

function hideMenu()
{
  Inv_Window.destroy();
} 


Well, I just tried and my items won't even show up? =/

EDIT: NVM WORKS FINE. I just had to delete gx, and gy.

[Stryke]

Is there a way to make the Hint overlap the mouse..?

and why doesnt this work?

PHP Code:

function InvItem_0.onMouseDragged() {
  InvItem_0.x = mousex;
  InvItem_0.y = mousey;
} 


[Inverness]

mousex and mousey are in tiles which show where the mouse is in the level. Gui controls use pixels because they're not in a level. You should use mousescreenx and mousescreeny which are also in pixels and represent where the mouse is on the screen not the level.

If that doesn't fix it then you should be more specific about the problem.

[Stryke]

PHP Code:

function InvItem_0.onMouseDown() {
  for(temp.i=0;temp.i<player.weapons.size();temp.i++;)
  {
    if(player.weapons[temp.i].name == InvItem_0)
    {
      temp.var == temp.i;
      break;
    }
  }
  selectedweapon = temp.var;
} 


How would I make it so that if you click an item, it will equip it?
This won't work.. Also is it possible to put a function in a for statement because I don't want to make 20 function InvItem_x.onMouseDown's.

[Robin]

Lookup catchevent on the wiki if you're working with GUI's

And what do you mean by equip?

[Stryke]

By equip i mean selectedweapon = index of weapon i want equipped.

PHP Code:

  {
    if(player.weapons[temp.i].itemName == InvItem_0)
    {
      player.selectedweapon = temp.i;
      return;
    }
  }
} 


and then in your items

PHP Code:

new GuiShowImgCtrl( "InvItem_0" )
{
  image = "x.png";
  width = 32;
  height = 32;
  x = 10;
  y = 10;
  
  this.itemName = "Guns/KABOOM!!!111!!";
} 


'name' is reserved by default.

[Stryke]

Thanks how about my other question:
Also is it possible to put a function in a for statement because I don't want to make 20 function InvItem_x.onMouseDown's.

I don't really understand how the catchevent works?

[cbk1994]

PHP Code:

new GuiShowImgCtrl( "InvItem_0" )
{
  image = "x.png";
  width = 32;
  height = 32;
  x = 10;
  y = 10;
  
  this.itemName = "Guns/KABOOM!!!111!!";
  thiso.catchevent( name, "onMouseDown", "onItemSelected" );
} 


and later something like this:

PHP Code:

function onItemSelected( obj )
{
    for(temp.i=0;temp.i<player.weapons.size();temp.i++;)
    {
      if(player.weapons[temp.i].name == obj.itemName)
      {
        player.selectedweapon = temp.i;
        return;
      }
    }
} 


I believe that will work.

Another way to do that would be like:

function onCreated() {
  catchevent(InvItem_0, "onMouseDown", "onItemSelected");

  new GuiShowImgCtrl( "InvItem_0" ) {
    image = "x.png";
    width = 32;
    height = 32;
    x = 10;
    y = 10;
    this.itemName = "Guns/KABOOM!!!111!!";
  }
}

function onItemSelected(obj) {
  for(temp.i=0; i < player.weapons.size(); ++i) {
    if (player.weapons[i].name == obj.itemName) {
      player.selectedweapon = i;
      break;
    }
  }
} 


Basically, catchevent can be called outside of the object (the object that actually gets the "catchevent" call is most likely going to be the WNPC that you are in which is why Chris used thiso.), the first parameter is the object that you are catching and it can be called before the object is even created .

I didn't know you could do that, thanks for the tip I never used catchevent much except for tabs (easy to detect which tab without many functions since they more or less do the same thing) and where there are dynamic buttons.

[Inverness]

The first parameter of catchevent should be a string (the object's name) not an object variable.

catchevent("InvItem_0", "onMouseDown", "onItemSelected"); or
catchevent(InvItem_0.name, "onMouseDown", "onItemSelected");

If it works with the variable it would be because it takes the object name from the variable.

[cbk1994]

Well, it's nice to pretend that Graal works on objects for this, not strings, I suppose.

Only way I can see strings being an advantage is if the object isn't yet defined?

[Stryke]

Thanks. It worked like a charm.

New Q:

Is there anyway to make the hint variable appear faster?

GuiControl.hinttime (so just do hinttime = 0; )
