Setting up a Max weapon count for a player?

#1 This is just off the top of my head, but you could probably do something as simple as having a variable to hold the number of weapons the player currently has. Then somewhere like Weapon::onPickup() you'd increment that variable. Then as a weapon is atempted to be picked up, you just check that variable to see if they are allowed to. That check would probably be in ShapeBase::pickup() in inventory.cs.

#2 Although your logic was correct I needed to do the check in Weapon::onPickup in weapon.cs

Thanks for the help.

Now I need to figure out how to throw weapons :)

#3 Glad you got it working.

I'm curious tho, why do you need to do it Weapon::onPickup? Its called after ShapeBase::pickup, so I was thinking that you'd want to make the check as soon as possible. From ShapBase::pickup you can get access to the datablock of the item that was just picked up, and thus determine if its a weapon or not.

I'm not actually sure, when does it actually "pick up" the item from the game world, ie remove it from being drawn? I think you're only requirement would be to check before that is being done, wouldn't it?

At any rate, good to hear you're on the right track.

#4 Your right. I was just being lazy :) so I did it in Weapon.cs
