Getting weapon inventory count

by Michael Cozzolino · in Torque Game Engine · 06/10/2003 (7:01 am) · 2 replies

Ok here is what i'm trying to do.

I am trying to have my player only be able to have 2 weapons. My problem is that I don't know how to get the amount of weapons the player currently has in their inventory. 2nd I don't know if I should try to do this check in Weapon::onPickup or Weapon::onInventory I would assume on pickup.

In my player datablock I have:
maxWeapons = 2;

I access that in Weapon::onPickup with :

%MaxWeapons = %shape.getdatablock().maxWeapons;

So I need to do something like

if(%CurrentWeaponCount < %MaxWeapons)
{
Pick up Weapon
}

I need to know how to get %CurrentWeaponCount

    Ok I think I figured it out. Seems to work.


    if(%%shape.weaponSlotCount < %MaxWeapons)
    {
    Pick up Weapon
    }


    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    I had a moment of clarity at work and it hit me.

    I usually figure things out when I'm at work. I would write psuedocode for my programming projects during work. Funny how my mind works sometimes :)

    Thanks again Ron.
