Inventory Pro - uGUI - Performance - Mobile support & More

Thank you sir, and welcome back

Also, I'll just leave this here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/wip-los-audio-system.375874/ My next asset

 

Awesome! Looking forward to that

 

It's coming along nicely . Biggest surprise of the day - Sorting didn't break ... like.. at all...

 

I'm so jealous man. Thanks for taking my suggestion and actually taking time to try and create it. Looking forward into this.


EDIT: And it seems like most of the stuff worked right ? If something breaks you can take an hour to fix it and this big feature will be in your system. I'm hoping for the best.

 

Yeah sure, I'll fix issues that come up; But considering that there are over 1000+ IPro users I don't want to build anything that breaks all those project - But things are looking good so far, just 1 more thing to fix, and then I'll be able to assess the situation

 

Sweet baby jesus it works!

A few restrictions

• Containers have to use the custom layout group
• Custom layout group requires a fixed amount of columns, so once the column count is set it cannot change.
• Only rect and square item sizes, so 1x1, 1x2, 3x3, 3x1, etc.. No weird Tetris shapes.

A few known problems:

• Sorting has to be broken... it has to be > Can't see what's wrong with it though
• Dragging a large item 1 slot to the side fails because it hits itself when checking for placement.
• Icon stretching
• Swapping items works, however when swapping a large item it will only accept swapping it for 1 smaller item. (For example, shield of 3x3 -> swap with a single dagger of 1x1 -> works - swap shield 3x3 with 2 daggers of 1x1 -> Doesn't work).

Give it a spin - (Please do report any bugs you may find so I can fix them)

@jorisshh After I upgraded to the latest version, I keep getting this message everytime I try to pickup an item, "The item is to far away to be picked up" I don't know what I'm missing.
EDIT: I also get a null reference in this line " count += lookup.collection.CanAddItemCount(item);"

 

Most likely your InventoryPlayer component has an empty "inventory" row. To fix, check your InventoryPlayer component and make sure that all fields are set. If you're instantiating your player make sure the paths are correct.

 

Sounds great so far ! But the link's broken

EDIT: Yeah the wierd shapes like from tetris are not even needed don't worry 'bout that.

 

Whoops, authentication thing
Updated the link

 

Okay i've tested a bit, works good. But when you drag it, the last instance of it that is showing where it was before is actually getting in it's way if you want to move it by one slot only, if you get me.

(Detailed: while the item is dragged, the last position is represnted with another instance of it, right ? But that's considered an item in the inventory the whole time, untill you drop it. When you do drop it, the last instance disappears. But if you drop a bigger item just by one slot, like right next to the last position, it will consider the last instance as an item that will be in it's way, so it doesen't apply it but puts it back where it was before.)

EDIT: Just tought i'd tell you that, you most likley figured it out yourself. And it's just one of the problems it has so far... Well it's all new, you just started workin on it so that's very expected.

 

Yep it's what I meant by

• Swapping items works, however when swapping a large item it will only accept swapping it for 1 smaller item. (For example, shield of 3x3 -> swap with a single dagger of 1x1 -> works - swap shield 3x3 with 2 daggers of 1x1 -> Doesn't work).

But no worries, I've just fixed it, it now ignores 'collisions' with itself

 

Thank you for your reply, unfortunately I spent all the day trying to figure out whats wrong but still could not solve the problem. I found that inventory collections in " foreach (var inv in _currentPlayer.inventoryCollections) " are null even tho I have set the inventories collections in the inventoryplayer component. One thing to note is that Im instantiating my character later in the game during runtime, and I do this to populate the inventoyplayer component by code once I spawn my character:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. InventoryPlayer ivp = gameObject.GetComponent<InventoryPlayer>();
3.         InventoryUI invui = GameObject.Find("OverlayCanvas").transform.Find("InventoryWindow").GetComponent<InventoryUI>();
4.  
5.         GetComponent<InventoryPlayer>().inventoryCollections.SetValue(invui, 0);
6.         GetComponent<InventoryPlayer>().skillbarCollection = GameObject.Find("OverlayCanvas").transform.Find("Skill_BG").GetComponent<SkillbarUI>();
7.         GetComponent<InventoryPlayer>().inventoryCollections.SetValue(GetComponent<InventoryPlayer>().skillbarCollection, 1);
8.         ivp.enabled = false;
9.         ivp.enabled = true;
10.  

 

Oh i tought swapping ment like switching positions of two items if you drag one onto another. Nvm, nice job fixing it anyways !

 

When spawning your player you could use the InventoryPlayerSpawner component ( http://devdog.nl/documentation/player-spawner/ ). You can of course use your own script, just make sure that on your InventoryPlayer component "Is player dynamically instantiated" is checked. Then, once you've spawned your player and hooked up all the collections call ivp.Init(); // Initializes the player and makes it active.

 

Alrighty, it's official. I'll add the item layout sizes to the next version of Inventory Pro

I've cleaned up the icons a bit, and separated the background texture from the actual icon so it can stretch. Which cleans up quite nicely.


All items now have an item layout template - Simply click the buttons and your item will be of that size. When your item layout aspect ratio (for example 1:2) differs from the icon aspect ratio you'll be warned as the icon would stretch.


And finally, collections can ignore the item layout sizes

 

What an amazing support by you man, you really care about your asset and what clients have to say. Thank you ! (Also, sorry for not replying instantly, the alert thing on forum glitches all the time)
(Wait, another thing... I'm sorry to bother you with stuff but the layout size shouldn't be limited to 4x4 max)

 

[QUOTEJorisshh said:

That's some great news . I'll contact some designers on the asset store and ask them for permission.

@wood333 If you have some specific models in mind, let me know and I'll contact the creators.][/QUOTE]

I don't have any specific model in mind. I previously referred to first person lover (female) because I had seen her used by Aerozo on his forum for his Universal Character Customization (beta). She looks good and she comes with a variety of clothes. However, the clothes are a promotion of the Bjorn Borg line, and for that reason, you might want to look around the asset store for a style that better matches the RPG style of Inv Pro.

No matter what clothes you use, having Inv Pro bind them to the character bones will be absolutely fantastic!

 

The set up had some performance degradation at larger sized items (I scanned around the items location for potential blocks from other items, so the larger the items the further it had to scan for potential blocks). I've cached the values now and cleaned it up to keep GC as low as possible. I'll update the grid to 6x6, although there isn't currently any reason the item can't be bigger

 

Yeah it would be a little rediculous to have bigger items, but in my case it's actually needed xD. Doesn't matter though i can live with it. I'm trying to build my own once again, i don't know if i'll make it out without some silly bugs but i'll try. If i fail i'll most likley just buy your asset when it comes out with the layout update. If i do make it atleast i'm not the only one interested in the item size support, it's huge now in survival games so it'll catch people's eyes. Keep the good work up with this asset.

 

@jorisshh I fixed my previous problems and now I can pick up items by collision, but I still can't pick up items by mouse. When I click on the items to pick up I always get this message" item is to far away to pickup" Inventories are setup correctly because I can pickup using collision. How to change the pickup distance so it does not say that the item is far away?

 

A few things you can check ->

• Are your items in the correct layer (as defined in the Settings > Layers).
• Does your player have an RangeHelper component?
• Is the use distance set in the settings?

 

My item world layer is set to 26, what does that mean?
Yes I have rangeHelper component on the player
Yes the use distance is set in the setting and the "Item trigger mouse click" is also checked.

 

By player you mean the _Col gameObject that is a child of the player, right? When the component is not present it will auto. be added at run-time.

The layer number (26 in this case) represents the number in the Unity layers window (Edit > Project settings > Tags & Layers). And make sure that layer 26 is an Inventory Pro layer (name doesn't really matter); But just make sure that your items in the world have the same layer as set in the Inventory Pro's settings.

 

Yes I adjusted the layers now, still can't pick up using the mouse. And yes the range helper in on the _Col object. The mouse cursor does not change as well if that helps.

 

I suppose the object has a collider, right ? Could you upload your project so I can have a look (if so - pm with link please)? Not sure what's wrong

 

Thank you for the help anyway, yes I have a collider on the item because I can pick it up when it collides with my player fine. I will keep looking on whats the problem, if I can't solve it, I will create a project example for you and upload it.

 

This is precisely what I have been waiting for before opting in. Can't wait !

 

Again, a very basic and noob problem, how to get equipment stats. I am getting error, a lot

 

Alright, what kind of error? Also did you check the setup wizard?

 

Is it possible to separate inventory grid slot icons from item? So that when dragging, only the actual item is being moved and grid stays. Or do I need to make extra panel that only has the grid icons and then transparent inventory slots on top of that or something like that?

 

When the wrapper it's dragged. You can use this to your advantage by adding a button component and using the sprite swap. Then when it's inactive use a transparent icon to hide the background from the icon.


So when the icon is dragged it will be disabled, and the background icon will be set to transparent -> Keeping only the icon

 

This would be a great addition to the asset. Or as previously suggested an inegration with ootii's mount points.

 

Actually I solved that part, problem was I forgot converting that "default" value, however i think i need guide to use potions and recover the stats. Thx

 

Thanks, I'll try that. Then, I have another question, is there some event to hook onto when dragging and item?

 

Yes, you can either use the OnDragStart (using the Unity interface, but this would force you to add an extra component to each wrapper), or you can use the InventoryUIDragUtility.OnStartDragging

 

umm, sorry for my english, not natural; there are potions and foods that can restore stats, however I an not able to restore those stats where as I can add stat bonus from equipment, so My question again is, what API am I supposed to use to restore stats?

Thanks Again

 

You can use the stats api ( http://devdog.nl/documentation/changing-stats/ ). The stats have been updated a little in V2.3.1, as well as the documentation, so make sure you're using the last version of Inventory Pro.

 

It's that wonderful time of the year again ; That's right, another Inventory Pro update:

Awesome-er!!!

 

And more great news, Inventory pro has been selected for another 24h sale!
Mark thy calendars with January the 13th - Inventory Pro sale!

 

okie, Well in Item Property editor, i put base start value as 0 and max value as 100 and ticked on use in stats, next i had set apple to restore 30 points.Also do mind I have my own stats script too. Now i had script like this
void Update() {
var myPlayer = InventoryPlayerManager.instance.currentPlayer;
var myCollection = myPlayer.characterCollection;
if (myCollection != null)
{
i_health = (int)myCollection.GetStat("Player", "Health").currentValueRaw;
}
t_health = aplayer.a_health + i_health; // aplayer.a_health is from my custom stat
}

When i use sword or equipment it adds up finely,i_health maximum value is set as 100 as sword property , thats what i want.
Now when i use potion or food, not equipping, it increases till max value becomes 100 as set in item property editor. I am totally lost

 

void Update() run every frame so if your game run at 60 fps per sec you are making your player eat 60 apples per second

 

Is it possible to change mouse item pickup button for right or middle button?

 

apple/consumable item is used per click so update() is not the problem. Its item property editor set up, base value and max value, apple restore the base value until it reach max value, which later increase currentvalueraw. So if my max value is 0 it doesnt recover,

 

The item click is handled using the OnMouseDown (A unity MonoBehaviour method). You could override this and it's behavior (override and leave blank), then add an OnMouseOver (called continiously), and check with Input.GetMouseButtonDown() to check if a mouse button is pressed.

For this you'd have to override the ObjectTriggererItem and add it to each item. I could also add a setting to the next update. Could you create an issue at bitbucket for this?

 

The stats have the following values:

baseValue (starting value)
currentValueRaw (the value that is added on top of the final stat)
maxValue (the maximum value of the stat)

The *raw is the value before any multiplications, for example, a stat with 100 health and a +10% health bonus will have the following values:

baseValue = <Whatever you've set in the editor>
currentValueRaw = 100 (before multiplications)
currentValue = 110 (+ 10% health boost)
maxValue = 110 (+ 10% health boost)
maxValueRaw = 100 (before multiplications)

The current value is calculated as follows: (baseValue + currentValueRaw) * currentFactor * currentFactorMaxValue

In most cases you'll want to use the non-raw versions of the stat values, as these represent the final values.

And finally, in V2.3.2 the stats got an interface, allowing you to implement your own stats, only adding a dependency on the Inventory Pro interface (IInventoryCharacterStat).

 

would you be able to do a tutorial on how to use Inventory Pro if you have (Dialog System & UFPS ) already working using

 

What exactly would you like to see? Could you give an example how you'd like to see the 3 system together?

 

hello,

impressive work !!

compliant with plygame, always ?
