Decorate Inventory Check Functions

[cypherphage]

If i wanted to have a weapon deal more damage as a player's "strength" went up, like the strife dagger, I would currently need to implement tons of jumps. So a feature to get the number of items in the player's inventory would be useful. For instance

Code: Select all

  Fire:
    STFF B 6
    STFF C 8 A_StaffAttack(random[StaffAttack](5, 20)+CheckInventory("StrengthItem"), "StaffPuff")
    STFF B 8 A_ReFire
    Goto Ready

If such a function isn't feasible, the other way I could think of doning it is a function like A_SetUserVar, except checking the amount of inventory instead. Either of these functions seem useful for modular weapons.

Or you could use ACS_ExecuteWithResult in the damage function. Works for some functions, dunno about A_StaffAttack in particular.

Should work in any function where a number is called for.

I still wish I could just pass the item name in decorate, but this works pretty well and a lot better than the way i was doing it. Thanks.
