Title: Inventory maximium
Post by: eric22222 on 2006-06-04, 12:47:48 PM

Is there any way to change the maximum value for an item during the course of a game? Like, being able to hold more ammo, or an RPG character getting a higher max health?

you could just change th inventory item to the same item but with a different max. but if there is more than one time in your game when the player could do this then it wont work out.

It'll be a few times during the game. Basically, we're probably going to have a single pool of energy to power all special attacks, weapons, etc. We want to have a few parts in the game where you can increase your maximum energy. I came up with a work-around that would take two extra items: empty batteries (1 gained whenever we want to increase the maximum energy) that can be changed into charged batteries at the cost of a full bar of energy. Not a whole lot more work involved, but it does seem a bit messier than our original idea...
If there's no way other than having seperate items for every new max, we'll just go with this.

That should be really easy if you're using script.
Example:

Code: [Select]

ProjectObj.GamePlayer.InvMaxQuantity(0) = 50will set the maximum quantity for the first item in the inventory to 50.
