Inventory Pro - uGUI - Performance - Mobile support & More

That is a great use-case, however UFPS doesn't allow different ammo types for the same weapon, at least as far as I am aware. In UFPS a weapon only has one ammo type - "UnitBanks" consume "Units", in their terminology.

Since this is the case I think it would still make the most sense to consume ammo straight from the inventory. That way if the developer creates a workaround for different ammo types in UFPS (i.e. create new UnitBank with a new Unit type with the same weapon model), the system would still pick up the ammo types properly.

Hm.. I can image not everyone would want this, especially survival games that are quite popular at the moment usually have very "strict" item usage. But I could certainly make an option that auto. equips the items or an option that scans the inventories for ammo. (Put it on my list)

 

Equipment workflow

First hit the Position now button.


The item will be equipped to it's associated spot (see image below how this works), position the weapon the way you want, when done hit Save state, and voila, equipment position and rotation is saved.


Associate the equipment fields with equipment locations on your character. A character window / collection is now associated with a character. So multiple character support is now also supported





Got to have dual wield ^^

 

good to play

 

plyGame integration update

I've rerouted all internal Inventory Pro events to plyBlox, so they're now available from within blyBlox (see images below).







Didn't stop there though ^^

DiaQ is now also supported, select the provider from the dropdown, and select Inventory Pro items ^^


Now, if you'll gents excuse me, I need a short break... badly...

 

A bathroom break? I guess we can allow that.

Inventory Pro is looking better and better. With a few more features, it ought to be hands down the dominant inventory system in the store.

 

Hehe, yep we're getting there, I couldn't have done it without the community << insert Academy award speech here <<
I think on extensibility and performance we're already close to the top, and I've got something fun planned to hit it out of the park ^^

 

Perhaps have two separate types? One that's

This is gonna be so awesome in UFPS/MP! It's just awesome in general, nice job!!

 

Quick question; How do I make it so when the player scrolls through their hot bar, they equip whatever thing they're hovering over? I've figured out how to make items equippable and all that, I just can't seem to figure out the hot bar.

 

Actually easy as pie, it will require a bit of custom code, but no worries it's simple.
You can grab the current UI item that's below the cursor by calling InventoryUIUtility.hoveringItem. Then when you're ready to use it, simply call InventoryUIUtility.hoveringItem.TriggerUse(); That's it , all restrictions and what not will be handled by the system.

 

When you receive the update to 2.1.3?

 

In the upcoming week, currently writing documentation, testing & polishing

 

The last feature of this sprint

You can now sync collections, why is this useful you ask? Well assume you want to create a inventory view inside the vendor UI, like a shared window. Simply call the myCollection.SyncActions(toCollection, true); // 2nd param for 2 way binding
And voila


This also simplifies creating custom object based item containers (like treasure chests), again, simply call the myCollection.SyncActions(myArray); and the system will handle the rest

For collections you can simply add the sync component

 

Amazing work so far, I hope you give yourself the break you mentioned.
That being said (hehe), any chance you've thought/worked on being able to turn descriptions on or off per item so I can check to see if a player can view the description? Also, if you can open it up enough for me to tweak the description (that alone would do the trick) when viewed I'd be able to show some or all, or even swap parts of the description out based on other factors, like intelligence, or alignment, e.g. a sword with an evil alignment would seem different to an evil character than a good one, another example would be common items, like mushrooms, that look similar, but have subtle differences, differences that only a skilled herbalist might detect, like which are safe to eat.

PS I can send you my registration so you know you're not wasting your time on me if I haven't already.

 

Yep, sure thing , in the upcoming update you have an event called OnRepainted(item, info) that you can hook onto from anywhere and modify the infobox / tooltip.

.. Registration??

 

Awesome! Thank you. By registration I meant my invoice #/order # from when I purchased Inventory Pro

 

Ah no worries, I trust ya

 

Who said programmers can't design ?

(The new demo level)

 

Also, I've modeled the perfect potato

 

lol

 

Ever mentioned I have a terrible sense of humor ? Well you can try out the new demo at http://devdog.nl/unity/demo/ if you like ^^

 

Excellent potatoes.

 

Good afternoon . How are things going with the integration UFPS Multieplayer? When the integration is completed ? Already very hunt to add your inventory) )))

 

I'll do UFPS Multiplayer in the upcoming cycle, it already works for 90%, so, extrapolating on the previous release cycle times, I'd say ultimately 2-3 weeks from now

 

I'd like to get back to the potato... Is it a multiplayer potato? Or just a singleplayer potato? I need to know. And will we be able to use it in our own games? And when will it be available? And is there a mashed version, and/or a chip version? Is a french fried version in the works?

 

Oh certainly sir, the potato is very, very multiplayer ready, enjoy hours and hours of fun, throwing potato's at your friends. Want a mashed version? No problem, just throw harder

French fried version in development, dropping all previous features for this, I'm sure everyone will understand... ^^

 

It's gorgeous, it is necessary to wait for long. My question is as follows. The integration will be available functions that are made for inventory? Or what some features are not working. For example kraft or bank. Hopefully I understand what I mean. By the way the potatoes cool !!! )))

 

I'm not entirely sure I'm following, but to sum up, V2.1.3 will be released somewhere between the 18th and 25th (depends on unity's asset store team), which will contain the following

• UFPS updated

• plyGame updated

• Equipment binding + editors

• Improved workflow

• Editor improvements

• Syncing collections (move in collection a, sync to collection b)

• Cleanup & Refactoring

• Bugfixes and improvements

• Multi character support

 

You had me at "Potato"

 

I've tried it out a few ways, but I can't seem to figure it out D:
Do I just make a new script and call those two things, and then attach it to the buttons?

 

You can grab the current item like so:

Code (CSharp):

1.         public void Update()
2.         {
3.             if (InventoryUIUtility.hoveringItem != null && InventoryUIUtility.hoveringItem.item != null)
4.             {
5. var equipable = InventoryUIUtility.hoveringItem.item as EquippableInventoryItem;
6. //equippable.Equip(); // Or Unequip
7.                 //Debug.Log("Currently hovering: " + InventoryUIUtility.hoveringItem.item.name);
8.             }
9.         }

Then, what you do with it is completely up to you

 

hope for vendor fix

 

Hm... could you be a bit more specific please, what's going wrong? A use case always helps

 

I'm getting errors that InventoryUIUtility.Hoveringitem doesn't exist.
I'm kinda a beginner coder, actually I'm not even a coder xD so I'm a little lost. Would I just put something like;
If GetKeyDown K -> GameObject = true?

 

Ah, no problem, let's break it down

Code (CSharp):

1. public void Update()
2. {
3.     // Check if the user pressed G (fires only once, untill the button is completely released and pressed again)
4.     if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.G))
5.     {
6.         // Check if we're currently hovering over an item
7.         if (InventoryUIUtility.hoveringItem != null && InventoryUIUtility.hoveringItem.item != null)
8.         {
9.             // Check if the item we're hovering over is actually of type equippable
10.             var equipable = InventoryUIUtility.hoveringItem.item as EquippableInventoryItem;
11.             if(equippable != null)
12.             {
13.                 // Ok it's equippable, let's do it.
14.              
15.                 // Get the character equip collection from the current player
16.                 var characterUI = InventoryManager.currentPlayer.associatedCharacterUI;
17.  
18.                 // Finds the best (empty) slot to equip the item to.
19.                 var bestEquipLocation = equippable.FindBestEquipSlot(characterUI);
20.  
21.                 // Actually equip the item to the character.
22.                 equippable.Equip(bestEquipLocation, characterUI);
23.             }
24.         }    
25.     }
26. }

I've written the following code for V2.1.3 (which is currently pending in the asset store), to future proof the code, so it won't work until the update is live. But it should be live any moment now

 

It is live.

 

Is there a built in way to automatically unequip / disable / remove from skill bar items when they are moved from the player inventory into a bank?

Realized that I can just drop all my stuff off into a chest and still use the references on my skill bar.

 

So i hope that now after all the other nice things and your break that you find the time for including support for the dialogue system.

Nice "coder" potato by the way.
I do not want to show you my "designer" code

 

hehe, I'm trying although I don't think it will be in the upcoming release, the main reason is that I want to clean up some code, handle bug fixes and do UFPS Multiplayer, improved currency system & a serialization upgrade, to allow networking saving / loading, etc. Once all of that is in (roughly 2 weeks I guess), I'll look into new possible integration options / new features.

 

Ah of course, hadn't even thought about testing that, I'm on it

 

Anyway to disable item pickup on walk over

Also on InventoryProSave scene the inventory is full it says

 

Sure you can change the behavior of item pickup in the ShowObjectTriggerer:


The InventoryProSave scene works fine for me? Could you check the restrictions on the inventory collection please?

 

A little upgrade guide to V2.1.3

Player Inventories
The new InventoryPlayer component now has references to this player's specific inventories, bank, and skillbar. This has been added to simplify multi character support.



I'll be recording a tutorial on this today, it's just a heads up, in case you're running into some walls.


Visual item equipment
The default character controller uses raycasting to check ground distance, etc. However this interferes with the weapon's triggers. Inside your physics settings, be sure to disable the Raycast hits triggers.


In on of the upcoming releases I'll likely create a custom controller, to add support for layers (which would remove the problem all together).

 

Yeah I can second this

 

A POTATO !!

 

Hm.. Perhaps something went wrong with the prefab, could you check the InventoryPlayer Component on the player and check if the inventories are set? If none are set, it won't be able to find any, and assume they're all full or unavailable.

 

That did the trick, thanks.

 

When you come up with a solution, mind posting or PMing the code? I'd like to get this bug fixed in the next few days

 

Sorry for the double post, tho this is on a different topic.

I haven't been using the character inventory, since I'm not really doing equipable gear aside from weapons. After updating I had to add an InventoryPlayer component to avoid errors.

I'm also now getting an error trying to display a message in the NoticeMessageUI - specifically the item pool is failing.

Spoiler: Error contents

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Devdog.InventorySystem.InventoryPool`1[Devdog.InventorySystem.UI.Models.NoticeMessageUI].Get (Boolean createWhenNoneLeft) (at Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Other/InventoryPool.cs:54)
Devdog.InventorySystem.NoticeUI.AddMessage (Devdog.InventorySystem.Models.InventoryNoticeMessage message) (at Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/UI/WindowsOther/NoticeUI.cs:125)
Devdog.InventorySystem.Models.InventoryNoticeMessage.Show (System.Object[] param) (at Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/Other/Models/InventoryNoticeMessage.cs:47)
Trader.OnEnable () (at Assets/Game/Scripts/Trader.cs:40)

In monodevelop's debugger, I see that itemPool is null, which doesn't make much sense since it's created in the constructor. It does seem to only happen the first time it is called, which does happen from an object's onEnable function.


*EDIT*
you're also missing a null check on line 549 of InventoryItemBase - you check itemCollection.canDropFromCollection without checking if itemCollection is set.

fixed code:

Code (CSharp):

1.             if(isDroppable == false || (itemCollection != null && itemCollection.canDropFromCollection == false))

*Edit2* Further down in the same function, you access itemCollection a couple more times without null checking.

 

The pooling error comes from your own file Trader.cs, are you showing a notification in the Awake() perhaps? If so, you might consider switching it to Start().

Items can only be dropped directly from a collection, therefore the null check is not necessary. When does the problem occur, on what action?
