Inventory Pro - uGUI - Performance - Mobile support & More

Thank you jorisshh.

I just have put your asset in my to buy basket

 

Much appreciated , Also sit tight for the huge update with vendor and crafting support coming in a few days ^^

 

Ladies and gentleman I present to you, the pending review
Vendor System
Crafting System (2 types)
Notification center
+ much more


You can try the new demo at devdog.nl/unity/inventorysystem/

P.S. Keep in mind, because of a lot of re-factoring and a lot of new features bugs will be present. The faster they're reported, the faster I can fix them
I'll sum up a list of new features tomorrow.

 

awesome.... just tell me when.

 

For the setup I'll record some editor videos in the upcoming days on how to integrate it into your own project, as well as showing of all features.

 

Hey, Can you integrate with Core GameKit please looks great and will work well with your asset

 

What kind of integration / features were you thinking of? As far as I can tell they have pooling (so does the InventorySystem) and global variables to modify without scripts and some utility features to simplify fast development?

 

I've also added a 2nd demo with a completely different UI, just to show off how customizable it really is .
Right clicking an item will slide in the context menu from the right.


This uses the exact same code as the following UI, not a single change made in code, all configured through the editors

 

I know this is probably a stupid question but...

if the UI was shown on an Android screen at tiniest resolution and rotated, how do you see the menus working.
I guess I am asking "Do you support Long Press instead of Right Click".

Looks amazing btw

 

Was just thinking how it will be possible to connect your inventory with Core GameKit adding values to the equipment, The have a world variable for creating health, coin, exp etc. Am not sure if am explaining it right

 

Yup, full mobile support, you can choose your own custom triggers for mobile devices (See image below).


And optionally you can enable the context menu to add your own custom actions

 

I see, I'm currently working on PlayMaker support, after which I think I'll start on UFPS (as it is likely a super easy integration), after that I'll be sure to look into Core GameKit integration.

 

Ok np.

 

I've written the following PlayMaker features, if you like to request some features, please do so now

Currently written PlayMaker features:
Add item to any collection
Add item to inventory (auto. picks the best collection based on restrictions and priority)
Crafting enable / disable a blueprint (learning / unlearning a blueprint)
Drop an item / Pickup an item
Open / Close treasure chests
Set the items in a collection (removes previous items)
Set items for vendor (everything a vendor has for sale)
Show / hide any UI window, like character screen, vendor, bank, inventory, dialogs, etc.
Show a notification message
Use an item

If you want to see more features, let me know

 

Because I have very little patience, and because the asset hasn't been approved by the Unity asset team, I decided to look for other alternatives .

You can now purchase the fully updated version with crafting, vendors, etc, with the full 40% discount at:

https://sellfy.com/p/NZix/

A discount requires a share (when you click the purchase button), so if you're anti-social, and don't wish to share (this awesome asset) you can get a share free version at https://sellfy.com/p/NZix/-LAUNCH_PARTY/

Updates can be uploaded immediately to Sellfy, so faster iterations and a bigger discount ^^

 

Is it possible for you to mail does that already got it the update if they sent you the invoice ? and i don't use play maker is there folder i can delete or not import ?

 

I wrote a little processor directive, so the PlayMaker code won't be compiled unless you have the PLAYMAKER keyword in your scripting define symbols (Which it doesn't by default). I'll write a small tutorial for this once I officially support the package.

 

Ok,

?

 

I tried to buy in Sellfy but it says the receiver cant accept payment at this time.

 

Yeah, sorry about that, Paypal blocked my account because of "suspiciously high activity"... Luxury problems I suppose

Working on it though, I'll let you know when it's fixed.

 

Thanks

 

So - bit of feedback for future googlers.

if you receive the error:

Code (csharp):

1. Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/UI/ContextMenu/InventoryContextMenu.cs(117,24):
2. error CS1061: Type `Button' does not contain a definition for `onClick'
3. and no extension method `onClick' of type `Button' could be found
4. (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

This means you have imported InventorySystem into a project that uses the - now outdated - Beta Sample Assets package, having just done this myself I can advise you that it would be better to rip the main guts of your stuff out into a completely new project than to bother trying to disentangle the mess.

This is /not/ an InventorySystem error per se, simply a result of - ME - relying on the Beta Asset structure (Although to be fair it did say BETA - heh - mea culpa) not being too dissimilar from the shifting sand that is the ironically named multi-versioned un-standard Standard Assets structure. Needless to say it is not similar enough

It would not hurt to directly namespace the call within IS to a UnityEngine.UI.Button as this would prevent other packages - of which there have to be more than a few - that declare "Button" in a non-safe way, doing the same damage to your logic.

so I guess public UnityEngine.UI.Button button; would be enough? (whenever it was typed)

Hope this saves someone else some time

 

I've renamed the button fields to UnityEngine.UI.Button to avoid any future problems, it was a quick fix. I suppose the UI / logic separation comes into good use now

 

Hi,jorisshh.
I bought this asset at https://sellfy.com/p/NZix/ yesterday.
This asset is very GREAT.
I'd like to ask you a favor.
I have produced 2d type game.
Would you like to implement 2d type example for this asset's user?

 

So no sale on the asset store? hmm. Integrated with UFPS yet? can't tell... I'd like to see a UFPS integration, then I would consider it. But that's just me.

There is actually going to be a sale on the asset store, but Unity hasn't approved the asset yet, it takes up to 5 days...
So far I've integrated PlayMaker, as well as EasySave2 (Not live in the asset store yet!), uFPS is on the planning. I contacted the uFPS developer for a package to develop with (I don't own a uFPS copy, so..) but he didn't respond yet, I'll try again today.

Cheers,
Joris

 

Glad you like it, and yes an example is certainly possible, what kind of game / style / genre were you thinking of?

 

Hi, jorisshh
Thank you for your reply.
My produced game is 2d type game like UO(Ultima Online).
My game has been connected to the network by Photon PUN+.
If it is possible, I want inventory system like UO.

 

Hey Take,

I don't see anything out of the ordinary, as far as I can tell all these features are available right out of the box. A 2D gamestyle doesn't directly have any dependencies on the Inventory system.

Networking is not build in (it's on my research list), but considering the event driven architecture it should be really easy to build in networking.

 

I too would like the thought of networking... I use Photon.
Pushing around inventory items to other players, and - possibly - browsing the inventory/cash/objects of others.
"Basic stuff" would be enough to get us all going on doing our own, more specific, stuff.

 

Hey jorisshh.
Thank you for your reply.
Would you like to include Unity 2D mode example scene in addition to 3D example scene ?

 

I certainly could, but to be honest with you I don't see the added benefit of this for the Inventory system. I could just copy all the UI elements, and paste them in a 2D scene.

 

Does seem a bit moot

click thing 2d - 2.5d - 3d - system is same

 

How easy to convert to a weight based inventory rather than slots?

 

Noted, I'll look into networking possibilities soon, Unity did announce a new networking system in Unity 5.x check http://blogs.unity3d.com/2014/05/12/announcing-unet-new-unity-multiplayer-technology/ . Then again when Unity announced the uGUI system it took them ~3 years to finish it, so....

 

You want to prevent the user from adding items when the inventory has reached a certain weight?
If so, easy peasy, check the code below.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class MyInventoryUI : InventoryUI
2. {
3. protected float maxWeight = 10.0f;
4.  
5.     public override bool CanAddItem(InventoryItemBase item)
6.     {
7.         bool canBase = base.CanAddItem();
8.         if(canBase == false)
9.             return false;
10.  
11.         return MyCheckWeightMethod(item);
12.     }
13.  
14.     /// Sets an item directly
15.     public override bool CanSetItem(uint slot, InventoryItemBase item)
16.     {
17.         bool canBase = base.CanSetItem(slot, item);
18.         if(canBase == false)
19.             return false;
20.  
21.         return MyCheckWeightMethod(item);
22.     }
23.  
24.     protected virtual bool MyCheckWeightMethod(InventoryItemBase item)
25.     {
26.         // Add your custom weight method, all items have a weight variable by default
27.         float weightSum = 0.0f;
28.         foreach(var i in items)
29.         {
30.             if(i.item != null)
31.                 weightSum += i.item.weight; // (multiply by i.item.currentStackSize if you want to include stacks)
32.         }
33.  
34.         if(weightSum + item.weight > maxWeight)
35.             return false;
36.  
37.         return true; // All good
38.     }
39. }

 

Is "public MyInventoryUI : InventoryUI" a new script named MyInventoryUI.cs ?
Otherwise, where should I write?

 

anywhere (within reason). The "Scripts" folder would be a good place.
The class will be compiled and picked up once it is made.

You would then use this derived class in place of the inherited class in the "relevant" place(s).

 

oh, thanks I get it.
twobob, how you wrote?

 

i believe you cant make a generic function, the way i did it using photon was like this, user can send request to server to change their own inventory, they do not change it in their instance. then server serialise the list of INT (object ID) and all set the inventory depending on this list, this is how UFPS multiplayer do it too, it best against cheats

 

Aye. all my stuff would be anti cheat toolkit-ed up.

Oh.. YEAH! possible integration Anti-Cheating Toolkit

heh.

Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/MyInventoryUI.cs(6,22): error CS8025: Parsing error
What would be the best thing to do?

 

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. namespace Devdog.InventorySystem
6. {
7.  
8. public class MyInventoryUI : InventoryUI
9. {
10.  
11. public override bool CanAddItem(uint slot, InventoryItemBase item)
12. {
13. bool canBase = base.CanAddItem(item);
14. if (canBase == false)
15. return false;
16.  
17. return MyCheckWeightMethod(slot, item);
18. }
19.  
20. /// Sets an item directly
21. public override bool CanSetItem(uint slot, InventoryItemBase item)
22. {
23. bool canBase = base.CanSetItem(slot, item);
24. if (canBase == false)
25. return false;
26.  
27. return MyCheckWeightMethod(slot, item);
28. }
29.  
30. protected virtual bool MyCheckWeightMethod(uint slot, InventoryItemBase item)
31. {
32. // Add your custom weight method, all items have a weight variable by default
33. float weightSum = 0.0f;
34. foreach (var i in items)
35. {
36. if (i.item != null)
37. weightSum += i.item.weight; // (multiply by i.item.currentStackSize if you want to include stacks)
38. }
39.  
40. if (weightSum + item.weight > maxWeight)
41. return false;
42.  
43. return true; // All good
44. }
45. }
46. }

Perhaps just compare it to some of the other classes if you are unfamiliar with c#.

that should work.

 

edit: Well for some reason taka deleted his question.. which was

" Another error that maxWeight is missing. "​

that's right.

Since it doesn't exist...

You would define it as a variable and then set it...

Add a float maxWeight = 5;

 

Hi, twobob.
Sorry and very thanks.

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. public class MyInventoryUI : InventoryUI
4. {
5.  
6. public float maxWeight = 50; // or something
7.  
8.  

It's fine. It will just take you a VERY long time learning to program "here"

 

looking at that...

Assets/InventorySystem/Scripts/MyInventoryManager.cs(15,30): error CS0115: `Devdog.InventorySystem.MyInventoryUI.CanAddItem(uint, Devdog.InventorySystem.InventoryItemBase)' is marked as an override but no suitable method found to override

Since there is no single argument method in the base class.

so it should have been

Code (csharp):

1.  public bool CanAddItem(uint slot, InventoryItemBase item)
2. {
3. bool canBase = base.CanAddItem(item);
4. if (canBase == false)
5. return false;
6.  
7. return MyCheckWeightMethod(slot, item);
8. }

if that is what was intended.

 

Hi, twobob.
Thank you very very much.

 

No problem.
Hope that gets you started...

He posted pseudo-code, it was just a few syntax issues.

 

The Sellfy problem should be resolved and the asset can be purchased again. We're back in business
