Inventory Popup Tutorial

by Tim Newell · in Torque Game Engine · 12/14/2001 (12:54 am) · 4 replies

I just posted a tutorial that adds an inventory popup when you hit "i" and you hit "i" again to hide it. I had to "hack" it by storing all the data in a string then transfering the string to the client and parsing the string on the client. If anyone knows a better way to do this please post it here and I will update the tutorial with it. Currently it only displays weapons with their ammo but it can easily be modified for any inventory items in your game.

Here is a link to what it looks like in game. (with my terrible artwork :) )

If anyone has any better fixes for it and want me to post the changes in the tutorial, post them here.

If you are an MMOKIT Owner, use the inventory in the kit, it works well, here's a link to an older pic:
