inventory

[megamushroom]

ok, im not bad at coding, well, not too bad, but i cant figure out my inventory. I want it so that if I use all of one item, then the item above it moves into its slot. i can do this, but the item simpl replicates its self, so i tried moveing it the deleting itself, but i get an array out of bound error. here is my code simplifyed:

for (w=0;w<=4;w+=1){
if item[w]=""{
item[w+1]=item[w]}}

and my items are set out as:

item[0]="Potion"
item[1]="Herb"
item[2]=""
item[3]="Ether"
item[4]="Wonder dust"

i have got it so that when you click the sprite, it draws the text, and when you releasr the button, it runs the script to organise it.

i can send the file to someone via email, but my host is down at the moment, need to upgrade to a different one.

Thanks

According to the code you gave us, there is no reason for the array to be out of bounds.
just so you know, the bounds are:
1) no negative numbers
2) no fractions
3) must be less than 32000

this error normally occurs when you do something like this:

where m = 0:
item[m-1] = item[m]
(not an actual code)

I used somewhat the same method to create an inventory, however mine is purely sprite-based (it was easier for me) My problem is that I want it to split into two or more rows instead of just a verticle column. If you think you can help, I'll gladly send you what I have so far.

hmm, ism, I gave you the none errored code
here is the errored code:

for (w=0;w<=4;w+=1){
if item[w]=""{
item[w]=item[w+1]
item[w+1]=""
}}

yes, please the example would be a great help, even just for reference!

The only reason that code would give an error is if you didn't initialize arrays 0 through 5 first (notice that I did include 5)

[megamushroom]

initialise them as in item[0]="Blah"?
I have done that
still, have you got the code for what i need?

[IsmAvatar]

If you're certain you have initialized those*, then there's no reason in the code you gave me that you should be receiving that error.

*NOTE, YOU MUST ESPECIALLY MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INITIALIZED ARRAY 5!!!

[megamushroom]

wow, i really should read things through, of course it was the 5th array

thanks

RPGNoob, your inventory is very nice, i am just looking at it now
