Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

I'll take a look. It worked when I tested the code after writing it.

Now you can do:

Code: Select all

ACTOR MagicThingy : Inventory
{
+INVBAR
Inventory.MaxAmount 1
states
	{
	Spawn:
		RKEY A 4
		BKEY A 4
		YKEY A 4
		loop
	Use:
		RKEY A 1 A_JumpIfInventory("Mana1", 10, 2)
		RKEY A 1 A_PlaySound("*usefail")
		Fail
		RKEY A 1 A_TakeInventory("Mana1", 10)
		RKEY A 1 HealThing(5)
		Fail
	}
}

and the item will stay.

Sorry to bump the topic but I think I need clarification. You said the Fail state basically calls itself? Does that mean that when it hits the Fail State it just waits there until the condition is met? Or does it actually cancel? I'm guessing it exits the loop without removing the item, similar to stop.

By the way cool inventory item concept.

From experience, it cancels.
