Limited Inventory edit help

[SowS]

I'm trying to edit modern algebra's Limited Inventory system but i have problems right now that i can't figure out...

1. how can i make the indexes of the items interchangeable(is it the right word? ) instead of having a pop-up window for selecting Use/Discard?

example:
x u x x o
o is the selected item
u is the desired index
when o is selected, a new cursor is shown to select u.
after u is selected:
x o x x u

2. how can i increase the vertical spaces between the item rects?

The script is very complicated for me... right now... so any help will be appreciated.

what's with that post?!   

[modern algebra]

I think he was just a little confused at your post. I'm a little confused as to what you want as well. Is it that you want the player to be able to switch the positions of items, so:

Potion
High Potion
Sword
Shield

could become something like:

Potion
Shield
Sword
High Potion

I haven't looked at the script for a long time, but I think to do so I think I or another scripter would need to add in a way to track positions. I think the way I made it adds new items based on item order. So Items 0-999, then Weapons 0-999, then Armors 0-999. I'm not sure if that's true though as I haven't looked at it for a long time. But I think there would need to be some alterations to the way items are added. So, if you want that functionality, the first thing you will need to do is change the way items are added and removed from the inventory. After that, you would probably want to make a new invisible window over top with the same to show the next cursor and base it off that. I do a similar thing in the Integrated Reserve Party if you want to see an example of switching order with two cursors.


Increasing the vertical space is a little easier, but you might run into other problems based on how I calculated what sprites should be drawn when... Again, I don't remember this script very well, so I can't remember if the way I did that would cause problems in this regard. The simple answer, however, is to find the item_rect method of the Window_Item class in my script. You should see this:

Code Select Expand


#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 # * Item Rect
 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 def item_rect (index)
   wlh = @wlh == nil ? WLH : @wlh
   rect = Rect.new(0, 0, 0, 0)
   rect.width = (contents.width + @spacing) / @column_max - @spacing
   rect.height = wlh
   rect.x = index % @column_max * (rect.width + @spacing)
   rect.y = (index / @column_max * wlh)
   return rect
 end


Alter the last line where rect.y is set to change the y position of the slots. So, a line like this:

Code Select Expand


   rect.y = (index / @column_max * (wlh + 4))


would increase the vertical spacing by 4 pixels. Change the 4 to however many you want.


And don't feel bad about it being complicated I barely knew what I was doing when I wrote this script - it's not well written I don't think.

this

I think he was just a little confused at your post.

But now that MA wrote something, I think I know what you mean.

sorry for the double account but i think i made a mistake while changing my email address so the i can't see the validation email(i even typed the same in the email confirmation box )... just delete/ban/whatever the previous account.. i'll stick with this...

now, on the topic:
for the vertical spaces... i didn't thought of increasing wlh... i just did:

Code Select Expand

rect.y = (index / @column_max * wlh) + 32
so the starting point for all the item rects is the only thing changed...

for item switching positions:
i'll try what you said... thanks!

[Nhoj_yeR]

ok, I'm done with the vertical spacing problem. Now, i'm doing the item-switching problem but i can't reproduce the code i did yesterday whatever i do.

i'm doing the invisible window first since it's easier. my problem there is that the invisible window doesn't check when player press C or B. i think the problem is in the update method of Scene_Item.

here's the window code:

please help...

EDIT: I solved it. I just need to trace what I edited.   Now, off to the actual switching part.

EDIT2: i can't figure out how to switch the items. maybe because i haven't worked with items before. can you help me with its algorithm?

[Nhoj_yeR]

ok... i still haven't figured it out. i don't know which to edit, the add_item method or the gain_item method? i think lose_item and remove_item methods don't need to be edited.

[Nhoj_yeR]

BUMP (just to tell that i still haven't figured it out.. )
