    This Inventory system is now community project to create a full featured mmorpg inventory system!

    WEB DEMO - Not up to date
    www.ruinati.com/Inv


    If you use this keep in mind I as a person am not a programmer, nor am I an artist or anything for that madder, I am just very ambitious and love to create games and share stuff with the lovely Unity Community.
    That being said my code may be VERY sloppy and uncommented, the models and everything are just place holders for you to replace.
    I decided to throw the source code out there because lots of people were asking about it, this may not be the best way to make an inventory but least now that it is out there hopefully I can get feedback on the code and everyone can work together to better it and perhaps make a solid inventory system.
    That being said there is one rule to using this code:
    TERMS OF USE:
    If you use this code and change it for the better, post the updated source back in the thread so we can better this project together.
    Its free to use in any commercial or non commercial game as long as you abide by the first rule.

    I hope this list is still correct :

    Finished Features:
    Inventory toggle
    Easy object creation workflow
    Easy pick up and parent system
    Easy inventory layout
    Left click grab and move items around
    Right click Equiping
    Right click open bag
    Bags carry items and have their own array
    Bags with items cannot be put in other bags
    Open all bags - Shift Right Click
    Tooltip to show item statistics
    Tooltip repositioning
    Shift Hover Tooltip comparison
    Smart pickup

    Features to come:

    Really nice work, so far I can't find anything wrong with it (other than that you may want to improve the visuals in the future).

    Good work!
    but just a little suggestion!
    would be better to seperate 4 buttons outside of the inventory for 4 more bags instead.
    like in WoW
    else u have to open the inventory first before u can
    access the other bags and shortcut keys for the diff bags is a must be!

    One slight crit which is that the bags should probably close automatically when the main inventory window is closed too or you need to add a close option for each bag but it's working very well

    I pushed out a new web build and added:
    tooltip repositioning
    shift hover equipment tooltip comparison
    smart shift right click equipping
    function feature smart shift right click toggle all bags
    smart item pickup

    They weren't my main concern but you are right and I will be improving them in the future.

    I have that tutorial yes, I never got the hole way through.
    It did give me a general idea of how to make an inventory.
    I did use a few more resources on the forums:
    http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=46222&highlight=inventory
    http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=11865&highlight=inventory
    but mostly I just started from scratch and learned as I went.
    Some of the functionality in my inventory I'm not sure is in the tutorial.
    The way my inventory is set up is you can add objects very easily to the game including backpacks/bags.
    This way your inventory can expand with the acquisition of more backpacks/bags and you aren't limited by any factors.
    Everything in the inventory is highly customizable with just a few lines of code or changing values in the inspector.

    The bags can easily be positioned anywhere and taken outside the inventory toggle if statement.
    However I wanted to go with the Ever Quest type inventory where you open it up to see what is inside.
    I will be adding shortcut keys for the bags and an exit box in them.
    Any suggestions on what the keys should be for the bags?

    I actually intentionally made the bag functionality like that, this way you can close out your inventory and have more room space if you wanted to do something while still having your bags open. I will add a button to close to bags individually.
    This however can easily be changed as all I need to do is drag 8 lines of code from beneath the if inventory toggle statement into it.



    Anyway ill keep adding new features and please don't be shy

    Really nice work mate!

    I've got a quite similar inventory to yours, except it's more of a "backpack" inventory rather than your "character" one but they probably use the same code as the references you linked were the same to mine.

    One question though, are they tooltips that appear when you hover your mouse over an item in the inventory? I'm new to java/unity and I'm having trouble with mine. Would you be able to show me a sample of yours?

    Thanks.

    What I did for my tooltip is I check to see if my mouse is hovering over a button, if it is I check to see if that button has an item in it, if so I then create a gui box and add the information from the item in that spot.

    example:
    My gui button has gui content say "1" for the tooltip
    I then check gui.tooltip == "1" then I check if item is in that spot and if so then I just draw a gui box in the correct position with the items information.

    So to answer your question I dont use tooltip for the tooltip but I use tooltip to check if I need to make a tooltip.

    Sorry this is a little vague. My code atm is somewhat long and unfinished and would take me some time to butcher it down to something easilly for you to understad. I do plan on eventually polishing the code up and releasing it but atm I am too embaressed at its sloppyness. I havnt had much time to work at this project lately, started a new job and it slowed me right down.

    youre still working on this?
    it would be amazing to see the user being able to really assign 3d models to a player character.

    if you want i could help you out with some models?

    Nicely done!

    The sword doesn't fit anywhere now.

    Good that the backpacks can hold more stuff, both of them opening and working well.

    This is really awesome, can you put it up for download. And one thing this really needs is a way to drop/destroy items. And improved visuals. The text was a little large. Other than that it looks really good!

    Hi everyone, I wanted to say that I edited my main post and uploaded a rar file containing the source for this project.

    hey, this is awesome thanks, i have some minor problems that i cant work out (new to coding)

    how would i go about moving and deleting some stuff that is in this picture?

    and keeping the bag button there all the time?

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    [edit] forgot to ask also, how would i go about making the bag slots in the inventory?

    To move the gold over you would have to modify the first two values in the rects in this code:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.         GUI.Button(Rect(101,495,20,20),"G");
    3.         var gold = "";
    4.         if (inventorymoney[2] != null){
    5.             gold = gold + inventorymoney[2].itemstacksize;
    6.             GUI.Label(Rect(121,495,60,20),gold);
    7.         } else {
    8.             GUI.Label(Rect(121,495,60,20),"0");
    9.         }
    10.  
    11.  
    so something like:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.         GUI.Button(Rect(401,495,20,20),"G");
    3.         var gold = "";
    4.         if (inventorymoney[2] != null){
    5.             gold = gold + inventorymoney[2].itemstacksize;
    6.             GUI.Label(Rect(421,495,60,20),gold);
    7.         } else {
    8.             GUI.Label(Rect(421,495,60,20),"0");
    9.         }
    10.  
    By the looks of you picture you want to have one bag button that opens your inventory that has alot more spaces. You would first off increase the array of the inventory in the awake function, then you would call
    inventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,0,350,120);
    and place them where you want accordingly and how many, increasing the value of the first number each time so that it goes through the inventory array. Also you would prolly just get rid of the bags or just not put them in. You would also need an if statement around the inventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,0,350,120); changed by the button that opens your bag. Unless you are trying to pick one bag up and then have it so you can open your bag. You would prolly need to put the inventory down to size of 1 and then increase your bag size.

    Without me rewriteing the code for your specific needs this is the best explanation I can give, if you have any more questions or if anything I said sounded foreign just shoot some more specific questions, ill try my best to help.

    The art is seperate from agreement, you dont have to post, up to you.
    The inventory button can be changed, moved, removed what ever you desire.
    There is no saving or keeping items scene to scene, I didnt code that yet, but that is a very good idea, im going to have to try to implement this. Though if you need it soon you may want to code it yourself as I dont have much time lately.

    haha ok :)
    and i have to read the wholl script bevore i know where i put the no destruct part
    but maybe it a idea but the items that you put on the bank stored in a mysql lite?

    and i have a kind of equip script so you realy see it on the character ;)
    like you have a rpg the camera is in the back of the character
    so if you equip sotming you dont see anything

    do you need that?

    srry i am late i know XD

    but the character must have some empty's or you can attach them to the bone i dont care

    here is the script:
    var EmptyGameObject : Transform;
    var ArmorObject : Transform;


    function Update ()
    {

    }

    function OnTriggerEnter()
    {
    ArmorObject.parent = EmptyGameObject;
    ArmorObject.position=EmptyGameObject.position;
    ArmorObject.rotation=EmptyGameObject.rotation;
    }

    i use the ontrigger enter but you can change what ever you want :D

    I had worked on this project while back and forgot to put some code up, this is for the bank to fix some bugs like tooltip not working and not allow potions to be used from there. I hope it works alright, like I said I wrote it a while ago and totally forgot about it.
    This all goes inside Inventory script.
    So first you make an array:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. var bankinventory : Array;
    3.  
    Then in the awake function:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. bankinventory = new Array(8);
    3.  
    Then the banking area replace the original with this:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.         bankinventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,0,350,120);
    3.         bankinventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,1,350,160);
    4.         bankinventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,2,350,200);
    5.         bankinventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,3,350,240);
    6.         bankinventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,4,391,120);
    7.         bankinventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,5,391,160);
    8.         bankinventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,6,391,200);
    9.         bankinventoryItemSlot(bankinventory,7,391,240);
    10.  
    then add this function to the script:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. function bankinventoryItemSlot(arraypassed,slot,xpos,ypos){
    3.     tooltipid = "ASDASD";
    4.     tooltipid = tooltipid + slot;
    5.         if (arraypassed[slot] != null  mouseitem == null){
    6.             if (GUI.Button(Rect(xpos,ypos,iconSize,iconSize),GUIContent ("", tooltipid))){
    7.                 if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Mouse0)) {
    8.                     stackCheck();
    9.                     mouseitem = arraypassed[slot];
    10.                     arraypassed[slot] = null;
    11.                 }
    12.                 if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Mouse1)){
    13.                     if (arraypassed[slot]!= null  arraypassed[slot].itemtype == "Stack"){
    14.                         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightShift) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)){
    15.                             //DO SOMETHING IF SHIFT LEFT CLICK HAPPENS
    16.                             //need to check if there is alredy a tooltip for amount picker if so then we can use any other items put if statements
    17.                             stackamount = 1;
    18.                             stackCheck();
    19.                             arraypassed[slot].showStack = true;
    20.                         }
    21.                     }
    22.                     if (arraypassed[slot]!= null  arraypassed[slot].itemtype == "Equip"){
    23.                         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightShift) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)){
    24.                             rightClickEquip(arraypassed,slot,true);
    25.                         } else {
    26.                             rightClickEquip(arraypassed,slot,false);
    27.                         }
    28.                     }
    29.                 }
    30.             }
    31.         } else {
    32.             if (GUI.Button(Rect(xpos,ypos,iconSize,iconSize), GUIContent ("", tooltipid))){
    33.                 if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Mouse0)) {
    34.                     if (mouseitem != null){
    35.                         if (arraypassed[slot] != null){
    36.                             if (arraypassed[slot].itemtype == "Stack"){
    37.                                 arraypassed[slot].showStack = false;
    38.                             }
    39.                         }
    40.                         if (arraypassed[slot] != null  arraypassed[slot].itemtype == "Stack"  mouseitem.itemtype == "Stack"  arraypassed[slot].itemname == mouseitem.itemname ){// check if they are both the same type of stack else it
    41.                        
    42.                             if (arraypassed[slot].itemstacksize < arraypassed[slot].itemstacklimit){
    43.                                 arraypassed[slot].itemstacksize = arraypassed[slot].itemstacksize + mouseitem.itemstacksize;
    44.                                 if (arraypassed[slot].itemstacksize > arraypassed[slot].itemstacklimit){
    45.                                     mouseitem.itemstacksize = arraypassed[slot].itemstacksize - arraypassed[slot].itemstacklimit;
    46.                                     arraypassed[slot].itemstacksize = arraypassed[slot].itemstacklimit;
    47.                                 } else {
    48.                                 //need to chech here if together they are larger
    49.                                 Destroy (mouseitem.worldObject);
    50.                                 mouseitem = null;

    55.                                 var tempaa = arraypassed[slot];

    166.         itemToolTip(slot,xpos,ypos,arraypassed,tooltipid);
    167. }
    168.  

    I started working on this project again and if I update the code for the better I will post, lately I have just been butchering it down for a very simple game I am working on.
    But if I make any improvements ill post them.

    Loved it, is it possible to implement a model? For example, I have an empty game object and id like to track if I have put an item into the primary slot. Once it tracks it, it will change the empty model to a new one that. That I can take care of (phew, atleast I have SOME brains).

    Yes it is possible.
    What I would probably do in this instance is check what number in the array the item I want to check for, so for example
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.     equipedItemSlot(16,99,456,"Primary");
    3.  
    If I want to check for the primary as I can see in the code above the array slot is 16.
    So I would make an if statement that checks if the array at 16 is not null:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. if (EquipedItem[16] != null){
    3.  
    4. }
    5.  
    Then inside the if statement I would probably gather information about the item that is sitting there.
    You would probably need to add in the item script a variable for the name of the mesh you want displayed, then instantiate the prefab of the mesh that relates to the name and display it in the hand.
    Then if it is null take care of the prefab or something.
    This is just something similar to what I would attempt to do, I havnt tried this yet because im still ironing out some bugs and what not and working on other projects.
    Anyway good luck with this and maybe if you get something working you can post it back here to help others out :)

    It works, sorta.

    The things I had trouble with were setting it to the game object of the weapon. That would require static variables but those are always null :( , then I tried

    if(EquipedItem[16] == null), and the only quirk was that I didn't know where to put it when not equiped...

    the full code (thanks to 2 aurthors of this post)
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. if (EquipedItem[16] != null)
    3.     {
    4.     //A.K.A. : ArmorObject = EmptyGameObject;
    5.     ArmorObject.parent = EmptyGameObject;
    6.     ArmorObject.position=EmptyGameObject.position;
    7.     ArmorObject.rotation=EmptyGameObject.rotation;
    8.     }
    9.  
    thanks you all for all your help so far :D

    If you are talking about just adding the visual effect of the armor to the character, create a prefab that is just that, the model with its textures.
    Like he has here:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. if (EquipedItem[16] != null)
    3.    {
    4.    //A.K.A. : ArmorObject = EmptyGameObject;
    5.    ArmorObject.parent = EmptyGameObject;
    6.    ArmorObject.position=EmptyGameObject.position;
    7.    ArmorObject.rotation=EmptyGameObject.rotation;
    8.    }
    9.  
    Do something like instantiate this prefab based on the item that is in the inventory slot, so say you have sword 1 in there, check if its sword 1 and if so then create prefab with the model and textures for sword 1. Then do what he did with parenting and adding position/rotation.
    If you dequip it just destroy the prefab in an else statement.

    Anyway something like that.

    Yeah, that was one of my ideas. Instantiate and destroy. Still, to tell wich prefab to instantiate it would be most efficient to do in the itemscript? Whould it work to do that in the item class section.

    Ive been at it for 2 days(im new at this so kinda lo patients), conclusion - I must use a static variable in the item script, that can change...how? I just tried codding items. I thought I hit the jackpot. Then I rialized I couldn't change the code cause it was static... :x Any ideas :?:

    In ItemScript.js add this:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. var itemmesh : String = "Name of mesh";
    3.  
    add this to
    OnMouseDown Function in same script:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. item.itemmesh = itemmesh;
    3.  
    In Inventory.js add this to class InventoryItem
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. var itemmesh : String;
    3.  
    Then when you do your check for example:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. if (EquipedItem[slot] != null){
    3.  if (EquipedItem[slot].itemmesh == "Name of Mesh"
    4.                         var ArmorObject = Instantiate(nameofprefabarmor, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    5.                         ArmorObject.parent = EmptyGameObject;
    6.    ArmorObject.position=EmptyGameObject.position;
    7.    ArmorObject.rotation=EmptyGameObject.rotation
    8.  
    Then create a prefab and link it in the inspector to nameofprefabarmor. Of corse you need to add this:
    var nameofprefabarmor : Transform; at the top of the inventory.js.

    This is just a rough idea of what you need to do. I will eventually be working on this myself but I am caught up with something else currently.

    I forgot to mention, the prefab that you instantiate is just a mesh/model for viewing the item. It should also contain a script that has var script : Inventory;
    Then link the player with the inventory.js into it, then what you can do is make a check like, if ( script.EquipedItem[script.slot] == null){
    //destroy gameobject
    }

    This will basically have the mesh check if the equiped slot that it goes to is not null and if it is destroy it so its no longer displayed.
    You can always just use script.EquipedItem and the number you put in here [ ] relates to the equiped item number slot. So say for example if you equiped item slot 5 is for hands, then put 5 in there.

    Anyway I hope this helps.
    Im not 100 % sure this is the best way to do it but its one way to do it.
    Maybe if someone knows a better way I would love to hear it and discuss and work upon it.

    I'm actually quite interested in building upon the file that unitrix posted but the link for download is corrupt or just simply doesn't work. If someone could post it again that'd be much appreciated.

    Cheers

    Ok, I got it :D .

    I have it in the Update function. But it has a t/f statment to controll it. So, if update needed = true, run the statement and set update needed to false. Then when you desrtory it, set it back to true! :D :D

    Hm. I am stupped, again. I am at deleting the object now. I tried:

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. if(UpdateNeeded == false)
    3.     {
    4.         if(EquipedItem[16] == null)
    5.         {
    6.                 Destroy(ArmorObject);
    7.                 UpdateNeeded = true;
    8.         }
    9.     }
    10.  
    By the way, here is the equipping code:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. if(UpdateNeeded)
    3.     {
    4.         if (EquipedItem[16] != null)
    5.         {
    6.             if (EquipedItem[16].itemmesh == "Staff")
    7.             {
    8.                 var ArmorObject = Instantiate(nameofprefabarmor, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    9.                 ArmorObject.parent = EmptyGameObject;
    10.                 ArmorObject.position=EmptyGameObject.position;
    11.                 ArmorObject.rotation=EmptyGameObject.rotation;
    12.                 UpdateNeeded = false;
    13.             }
    14.         }
    15.     }
    16.  
    Yes, nothing much has changed about it. :oops:

    What I can see being one problem is that the ArmorObject is instantiated in a different scope, that meaning that if you do var ArmorObject within a if statement it wont carry over to another if statement. Also I am not sure if you can reference the prefab that you instatiated from the inventory. This is why I said try to create a script and add it to the prefab then add this to the script:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. var script : Inventory;
    3.  
    4. function Update(){
    5. if(script.UpdateNeeded == false)
    6.    {
    7.       if(script.EquipedItem[16] == null)
    8.       {
    9.             Destroy (gameObject);
    10.             script.UpdateNeeded = true;
    11.       }
    12.    }
    13. }
    14.  
    Make sure that var script : Inventory is the name of the inventory.js and then link the object or player that has the inventory script to the prefab that has the var script to it.

    Hope this helps.

    The Player Object having the inventory script is fine, if you make the mesh prefab and add that script to it I just had up above then in the mesh prefab you have to drag and drop the player onto the script var in the inspector.

    So for Inventory: Missing (Inventory). I should choose My character. The problem is that it destroyes the character if I do that...
