I want to make one of those Final Fantasy type inventory systems, but I have no idea how to do it. Basically, I want to be able to have the player buy something in a shop, have it show up in their inventory, and from there be able to use it. I also want to let the player sell things to a shop. I have already made the shop, all that needs to be done is getting things from the menus to the inventory. if anyone has an idea on how I can do this, I would appreciate it. Thx in advance

First thing I can tell you is that you need to do some reading on the array types called List. Vary useful, those List are. Basically, there arrays you can add and subtract entries from even after DIMing. There's a better explanation in the help system, look in principles, it's the entry on List, Stacks, and Queus. (I know I spelled that wrong)

Also note that you should take a look at the RPG I'm currently working on at my website. If the Inventory system there is what your looking for, Email me and I'll send you some code snippets. I was planning on making it open-source when I was finished anyway, wouldn't mind handing out some code snips.

Go to projects, then the Baisc RPG Engine(BRPGE).

Regards.

if you havent explored the basic commands first then your going to have no chance in hell to begin a project of this magnitude.

Your profile reeks of teenage angst and ignorance as well good luck bro.

The only error I have heard of with my game is due to not having DX9 installed, so you might want to look into it. If that doesn't fix it, send me an e-mail with the error message. If there's a bug I don't know of, I want to squash it before it becomes a big issue.

As to the snippets, I'll need your e-mail address, since it's not in your profile.

And indi, the fact that he's created a shop means that, quite likely, he does have knowledge of the basic commands . And oddly enough, I hate macs too, and don't feel a bit angsty, thank you .

I'll be sending it to you later today. A bit busy at the moment, or I would right now. You should also note that you'll proboly have to do some adaptation, since odds are we use different code for our shops.

There is nothing in the help that is like this. Was this pro you are talking about or classic. I looked in help... then principles.. and nothing.

Vash the Stampede and I both have classic. Please help us both out. Unlike him I have read all there is in the classic help and I dont know it.

Please send some examples.

Thanks
Nicolas

Whoops! Ah, I've never used Classic before, so I am unsure as to what it is capable of. However, I have emailed Vash some code, so you should check and see what progress he's had with it.

Well SmokeyMcPot got us some code for the inventory, so when we figure out how it all works we might post it here or in the code base. (ya I fixed it to 42)

Well, good luck with *that* code ... Smokey didn't tell me it was for classic so he got DBPro code.

Luckily for you I'm such a nice guy - here's the code dumbed down for classic
